    NITROGEN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK INTRODUCTION: In this article, we discuss nitrogen its important properties, and some incidents that happened in the past with people and instruments that deal with nitrogen. So, let's start: LIQUID NITROGEN INCIDENT THAT KILLED THREE TECHNICIAN OF NASA: The First space shuttle mission was named STS-1, the first orbital mission of NASA. This mission is uniquely described in this article due to the incident in which three technicians died due to inhalation of excess nitrogen of nitrogen. IMPORTANCE OF NITROGEN: Nitrogen is a crucial element in the periodic table due to many important properties. Nitrogen is a non-toxic & colorless gas that occupies 78% of the atmosphere. HISTORY OF NITROGEN: In the past, scientists had different opinions about this gas. For example, some scientists think it was brunt air because no combination occur in the presence of this element. Some believe it is very toxic and has no life because the environment fil...

    Minerals of Boron:

    Boron has approximately 230 minerals from which boron is extracted. These minerals include kernite, tincalconite, probertite, ulexite, colemanite, meyerhofferite, inyoite, pandermite, inderite, hydroboracite, datolite, sassolite, and many more I hope I explain these minerals in detail in other article.

    History of Boron:

    In ancient times boron was used by China in the form of sodium tetraborate which was white in color but not pure form. It was first isolated by Joseph-Louis, Gay-Lussac, and Louis-Jaques, French chemists, and independently by Sir Humphry Davy, an English chemist, in 1808. They all isolated Boron by combining boric acid with potassium.

    What is Boron?

    Boron is an element in the periodic table that is metalloid in nature and present in group 5 also known as the "Boron Group". Boron has much importance in many industries such as Glass industries, washing powder industries, and many industries that we discuss later.

    How many proton boron has?

    Boron has 5 protons.

    How many electrons does boron have?

    Boron has 5 electrons.

    How many neutrons does boron have?

    It depends on which isotopes we talk about. For example, the most stable isotope of boron is B-10 which contains 5 neutrons, and B-11 which contains 6 neutrons.

    Isotopes of  Boron:

    Boron has many isotopes according to our research boron has 15 isotopes which contain two stable isotopes B-10 and B-11 it also contains 13 radioactive isotopes which have very short half-lives. For example, B-8 has a half-life of about 771.9ms and B-12 which has a half-life of 20.20ms.

    Allotropy of Boron:

    Boron has 10 allotropical forms. Allotropy is the presence of one element in more than one physical form.

     Boron allotropy are following:

    1. Alpha-Rhombohedral 

    2. Beta-Rhombohedral 

    3. Beta-tetragonal

    In special circumstances, boron can also be synthesized in the form of its alpha-tetragonal and grama-orthorhombic.

    Boron Importance in Botany:

    It is a micronutrient which has very important for plant growth. It plays a very important role in the formation of the Cell wall, reproduction, nutrient uptake, Enzyme activation, sugar transport, and cell division.

    Boron in Biology:

    In human boron play an important role in bone health, hormone regulation, and brain functioning. In Animals, it plays an important role in connective tissue and reproductive function, and it shows important antimicrobial properties.

    Properties and Characteristics of Boron:

    1. Boron is a metalloid in nature. It means it shows some behavior of metal and some behavior of non-metal.

    2.  Boron has a very high melting point of about 2200 degrees Celsius.

    3. It does not react with oxygen or dissolve in water under ordinary conditions.

    4. It does not react with acid unless acid is heated.

    5. Its compounds produced a beautiful green flame on heating.

    6. Boron occurs principally as salts of various polymeric acids.

    Uses and Application of Boron:

    1. Boron-10 is used in neutron capture therapy as an experimental treatment of some brain cancer.

    2. Boron use in many industries include: 

    i. Glass industry

    Quantum field theory: The most beautiful theory

    Quantum field theory: The most beautiful theory  Quantum field theory is a combination of quantum theory and field theory. It provides help in combining quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and special relativity. Nature loves beauty. Like nature, science is also like a beautiful theory. The theory which gives answers to all the questions of nature. In the beginning, classical mechanics was the most beautiful theory because it could answer all phenomena of nature accurately. But as our technology improves we can deep dive into matter and energy. The logic of classical mechanics becomes unvaried and that is why we need another theory that can explain all the phenomena at the quantum level. Quantum mechanics was able to resolve all the questions of the quantum world and then now become the most beautiful theory of science. It explains many phenomena like  Quantum entanglement , quantum tunneling, and other such strange phenomena. But quantum mechanics also won't be able to ex...

    String theory: An amazing Theory of Physics

     String Theory: An Amazing Theory of Physics String theory is the theory that answers all the questions of scientists and physicists. String theory may even explain and unite relativity and quantum mechanics and give us the theory of everything which explains all the questions of this universe. Well, string theory is the middle theory that joins relativity and quantum physics, and that explains the major question of this universe.  The major questions that relativity and quantum physics can't explain are: 1. Gravity on the quantum scale. 2. Information paradox 3. Gravity in the black hole 4. Quantum physics can't explain cosmic objects  We need a new theory that accurately explains these questions. To explain these questions humans build many theories which also include string theory. String theory : String theory says that all elementary particle has some kind of vibration. Well, the string thing explains a lot about this universe. But this theory also has some limitatio...

    BOSONS: AND ITS SECRET POWER IN NATURE

    BOSONS: AND ITS SECRET POWER IN NATURE  Introduction: Nuclear and particle physics, one of the most powerful branches of physics, deals with nuclear and particles present in atoms. In Nuclear and particle physics, they are the "Standard model of particle physics". In the standard model of particle physics, two divisions divide the particle into two categories known as "Bosons and fermions" . Fermions: Fermions are the particles that are responsible for the formation of all the ordinary matter in this universe. We discuss this in detail in the previous article. Fermions Bosons: Bosons are particles that are responsible for all the basic forces in this universe. Forces are of multiple types but for all the forces we humans know scientists select four forces and say that there are "Basic forces of universe". These are as follows: 1. Weak nuclear force 2. Strong nuclear force 3. Gravitational force 4. Electromagnetic force Particles of that force: These forc...
