– The phenomenon of producing a lowering of temperature when a gas is made to expand adiabatically from a region of high pressure into a region of low pressure is known as the Joule-Thomson Effect or Joule-Kelvin Effect Joule-Thomson Effect – Joule and Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) showed that when …

– The first law of Thermodynamics states that The total energy of an isolated system remains constant though it may change from one form to another. Internal Energy – A thermodynamic system containing some quantity of matter has within itself a definite quantity of energy. – This energy includes not …

– In physics, mechanical work is defined as force multiplied by the distance through which the force acts. – In elementary thermodynamics, the only type of work generally considered is the work done in the expansion (or compression) of a gas Nature of Heat and Work  – When a change …

– Thermodynamic Processes involve the change of conditions (temperature, pressure, and volume). Thermodynamic Processes – When a thermodynamic system changes from one state to another, the operation is called a Process. – Thermodynamic Processes involve the change of conditions (temperature, pressure, and volume). – The various types of thermodynamic processes …

What is Thermodynamics? – Thermodynamics is The study of the flow of heat or any other form of energy into or out of a system as it undergoes a physical or chemical transformation. – In studying and evaluating the flow of energy into or out of a system, it will …

Molecular Orbitals for Heteronuclear Diatomic Molecules – In the previous subject, we talk about but electronic structures and bonding properties of some of The homonuclear diatomic molecules. but in this subject, we will talk about Molecular Orbitals for Heteronuclear Diatomic Molecules (MO Theory) – When two different atoms are bonded …

Molecular Orbitals for Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules – In the previous subject, we talk about but electronic structures and bonding properties of some of The Heteronuclear Diatomic Molecules. but in this subject, we will talk about Molecular Orbitals for Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules (MO Theory) – After having discussed the basic principles …

Molecular Orbital Theory – The molecular orbital theory proposed by Hund and Mulliken in 1932 explains the formation of a covalent bond in a better way.  – According to molecular orbital theory all atomic orbitals of the atoms participating in molecule formation get disturbed when the concerned nuclei approach nearer. …

MCQ on the structure of the atom – In this subject, you will find 50 questions and answers MCQ on Chapter structure of atom – wave mechanical approach 1. The number of unpaired electrons in oxygen atom is_______ (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4 Answer. (b) 2. The …

– In this subject, we will discuss the difference Between Electronegativity and Electron Affinity Electron Affinity  – A neutral atom can accept an electron to form a negative ion. In this process, in general, energy is released. – The electron affinity (EA) of an element is the amount of energy released …

– The ionization energy (IE) of an element is defined as the energy needed to remove a single electron from an atom of the element in the gaseous state. Ionization Energy – The process of removing an electron from an isolated atom to form a positive ion is called ionization. …

– In this subject, we will discuss the rules of Electron Configuration Of Elements  Electron Configuration Of Elements – We have seen before that to define completely the state of an atom it is obligatory to refer to all the four quantum numbers (n, l, m, and s) of every …

– In this subject, we will discuss the Distribution of Electrons in Orbitals according to Hund’s Rule. Energy Distribution and Orbitals – In our earlier discussion, we have seen that the energy of an electron is determined by the first two quantum numbers (n) and (l), while the other two …

– The Pauli exclusion principle is of immense value in telling the maximum number of electrons accommodated in any shell. Quantum Numbers and the Energy of an Orbital – The nature of an electron, its position, and energy, is fully implied only by mentioning the values of four quantum numbers ascribed …

Quantum Numbers – Bohr’s electronic energy shells or levels, designated as Principal Quantum Numbers (n), could hardly explain the hydrogen spectrum adequately. – Spectra of other elements that are quite complex, also remained unexplained by this concept. – Many single lines of the spectra are found to consist of a …

Schrödinger Wave Equation – In order to provide sense and meaning to the probability approach, Schrödinger derived an equation known after his name as the Schrödinger Wave Equation.  – Calculation of the probability of finding the electron at various points in an atom was the main problem before Schrödinger.  – …

– Heisenberg’s uncertainty Principle: As it is impossible to know the position and the velocity of any one electron on account of its small size, the best we can do is to speak of the probability or relative chance of finding an electron with a probable velocity. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle …
