    BEAUTIFUL CHEMISTRY OF HYDRIDES OF ALKALINE EARTH METAL

    BEAUTIFUL CHEMISTRY OF HYDRIDES OF ALKALINE EARTH METAL: Man works with Alkaline Earth Metal Hydrides Introduction: Alkaline Earth Metals Hydrides are the compounds of alkaline earth metals that are very important in many sectors of industries and household uses. There are the following hydrides of Alkaline Earth metals: Beryllium Hydrides Magnesium Hydrides Calcium Hydrides Strontium Hydrides Barium Hydrides Radium Hydrides Properties of Alkaline Earth Metals Hydrides: There are the following properties of Alkaline Earth Metals Hydrides: 1. Ionic Compounds:  Due to the high electronegative difference between Alkaline Earth Metals and Hydrogen, it forms an ionic compound.  But there is an exception. Beryllium is different and it needs our attention as to why it forms a covalent bond. 2. Reactivity: Alkaline Earth metal hydrides are very reactive. But this reactivity depends on the metal. Heavier metal is less reactive. 3. Stability: Alkaline Earth metal hydrides are stable and stabilit

    Lithium: An Element which used in Hydrogen Bomb

    Man working in lab with lithium
    Lithium is an extraordinary Element

     Lithium was discovered by Swedish chemist Johan A. August in 1817. Named from the Greek word lithos, it means stone. It is the third-highest element in nature. Appearance is soft-sliver grey.

    Lithium is the topic of today's discussion. So, let's start:

    As you all know lithium is from its major application in batteries which are used in several devices. Lithium is the third lightest element known to humans. 

    Lithium in the periodic table:

    Lithium is present in alklia family. The Alkalia family has the special property of forming alkalis with water. Lithium has an atomic number of 3 its mass number is 6.914u and it has a very low density in the periodic table.

    Lithium is the lightest metal known to man. That is why is alloy majorly used in the aerospace industry.

    Lithium mineral :

    As lithium is very reactive it cannot be found in nature in its pure form. Its major minerals are "lepidolite, petalite, and spodumene".From this we humans can extract lithium.

    Lithium in earth-crust and in this universe:

    Lithium has been found in the earth's crust in a percentage of 0.002%. Most are found in its minerals form. In this universe, lithium has a 0.00000007% occurrence.

    Lithium isotopes:

    Lithium has many isotopes but most of them are radioactive and with very small half-life. So, that is why in this article we consider only its stable isotopes. Lithium has two stable isotopes lithium-6 and lithium-7.

    Lithium in Thermonuclear Weapons:

    Lithium deuteride is a compound of lithium used in thermonuclear Weapons. In hydrogen bombs, lithium deuteride is used to store deuterium and tritium which are great with each other to form helium and a lot of energy.

    Alloys of lithium with aluminum:

    Lithium alloy with aluminum is very important in the field of aerospace. This alloy is very lightweight and strong. It has the following properties that make it suitable for the aerospace industry:

    1. High strength

    2. Low density

    3. High stiffness

    4. Superior damage tolerance 

    4. Superior fatigue cracking resistance and weldability

    Lithium used in medicine:

    Lithium carbonate is used in medicine in the treatment of bipolar disease also known as "manic depression". This occurs due to an imbalance in chemicals present in the brain.

    Lithium carbonate is used in the treatment of this disease. Lithium helps to reduce feelings of mania. Lithium actually stimulates the NMDA  receptors, increasing glutamate availability in the post-synaptic neuron.

    Lithium hydride:

    Hydrogen gained much importance in the fuel and energy industry because it is a green source of energy. Lithium hydride is used to store hydrogen. Because of the small size of lithium, it stores hydrogen in a much higher quantity.

    Uses and application of lithium:

    The major use of lithium is in battery production. Lithium has more importance because of its characteristics.

    Uses of lithium:

    1. lithium is used in battery industries.

    2. Lithium is used in air treatment.

    3. Lithium is used in the ceramic and glass industry.

    4. Lithium is used in polymer production and casting mold flux powder

    5. Lithium is used as lubricating grease

    Conclusion:

    Lithium is a unique and extraordinary element and metal that has several applications in technology. Lithium has huge potential in the future to transform our future and technological revolution.

    Thank you for reading this article.

    I have a question for you:

    Is AI really dangerous for humanity and why?

    Quantum entanglement: Strange process of physics

    QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT: STRANGE PROCESS OF PHYSICS  Science is boring. If you say yes. Then absolutely you do not know about the magical world of science known as the "Quantum world". Well, imaginative things happen there no one predicts this world. The word "Magic" is the real world to completely describe this world. For example, if someone says that nobody passes through the wall, then quantum tunneling comes, which is the process that makes quantum particles capable of passing through any obstacles between their paths. But in today's article, we talk about quantum entanglement which is a very strange phenomenon of quantum mechanics. In this article, we also talk about Einstein's EPR paradox which challenges quantum physics, and how quantum physics defends itself. Let start: So, generally, what is quantum physics? Quantum physics is the physics of small-scale particles within atoms and studying their behavior. These particles are also called "Quantum pa

    Aluminium: An Element that changes the world Completely

      Aluminum: An Element That Changes the World Completely Aluminium uses in aerospce industry Aluminum is a very lightweight metal. Alloy is very precise before 18 century it was more expensive than gold and silver. Its high price is due to its extraction cost from clay. In clay, it forms a very strong bond with oxygen that why it requires very high energy. Aluminum word derived from the Latin word "Alumen" which means "Bitter salt". Aluminium was discovered by Danish physicist " Hans Christian Orsted" in 1825. It has a silvery-white appearance. What is Aluminium? Aluminum is a very lightweight metal in the periodic table. It is the 13th element in the periodic table and also a very useful element. Where Aluminium mined?  Aluminum minerals include "Boehmite, Diaspore, Gibbsite, Cupalite, and steinhardtite, etc.," There are over 270 different types of aluminum minerals from which aluminum is extracted. Australia and China have huge resources for al

    Boron: All Secret of Boron Element in Detail

    Man Taking Boron Supplement "Boron Boost: Unveiling the Benefits of this Essential Mineral for Health and Wellness" Boron is an element of much importance in many industries including medicines and technology industries. Boron has the atomic number 5 and its mass number is 10.811u it has many uses in supplements, in clearing industries, and its many technological industries. 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
