The German chemist Alfred Stock proposed the Stock System Chemistry of nomenclature in 1919 for use in the naming of binary compounds, being, with some modifications, universally adopted. This type of inorganic nomenclature consists of naming the compounds using Roman numerals to indicate the oxidation states of some of the compound elements. These Roman numerals…
To put it simply, biology is a natural science, while chemistry is physical science. Biology is the study of life; it encompasses all living things. Certain aspects of biology are based entirely on chemistry, as they are essential to understanding why and how life works at the molecular level. Chemistry is a study of discovering…
In Volatile Chemistry, volatility expresses the ability of a substance to vaporize. The term applies above all to liquids, but it can also relate to solids capable of passing directly to the vapour state, without passing through a liquid phase. Some solvents, such as acetone or ether, are particularly volatile. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs)…
One of the exciting new fields of chemical research in the past half-century, which introduces Cloud Chemistry, involves chemical changes that take place in the atmosphere. Scientists have learned that several reactions are taking place in the atmosphere at all times. For example, oxygen (O2) molecules in the upper stratosphere absorb solar energy and are…
Synthesis Chemistry or Chemical synthesis is the process of creating or constructing complex molecules from simpler ones. In industry, using chemical synthesis, chemical compounds are obtained by chemical and physical methods. Depending on the nature of the product, the synthesis can be organic or inorganic. It should be noted that in organic synthesis, the product…
Electrolysis Chemistry or Electrochemistry is the study of the conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy in electrolytic cells as well as the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy in Galvanic or Voltaic cell. Electrolysis Chemistry or Electrochemistry is extensive Branch of chemistry. So, it cannot be summed in a single article. However, for…
