    NITROGEN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK

    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...

    Oxygen: An important Element for Life

    Oxygen: An important Element for life

     Oxygen is a very useful element and much more important for life. Oxygen causes aerobic respiration which uses oxygen to burn food that we eat into energy-rich molecules ATP.

    Oxygen is a very abundant element in the universe as well as in this atmosphere. It is the third most abundant element in the universe and the second most abundant element in this atmosphere.

    Allotrope of Oxygen:

    Oxygen has three allotropes:

    i. Dioxygen                                    ii.Ozone                         iii. Tetraoxygen

    i. Dioxygen :

    Dioxygen is very important for sustaining life on this planet Earth. Dioxygen is used in the process of aerobic respiration. Which is very important for life on this planet.

    ii. Ozone:

    Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen which is also very important to sustain life on this planet because this ozone layer in the stratosphere protects humans and all living organisms from ultraviolet rays that damage life on Earth. Well, it will soon disappear due to the actions of humanity and its technology on the environment.

    iii. Tetraoxygen :

    It is also known as the oxo zone. Well, we can't explain it much because it is a theoretical idea.

    Isotopes of Oxygen:

    There are only three stable isotopes of oxygen and others are radioactive which is very unstable and decay in no time. The radioactive isotopes range from O-11 to O-28.

    Liquid and solid Oxygen:

    Liquid and solid Oxygen have a nice blue color and they are very reactive.

    Properties and characteristics of Oxygen:

    1. Oxygen is colorless odorless and tasteless gas (at S.T.P).

    2. Oxygen has a higher density than air. Its density is about 1.49g/l.

    3. Oxygen is the helper of the burning process.

    4. Oxygen forms oxides with metals and its oxide except in aluminum very harmful and causes the weaking of that metal. These oxides are also known as "Corrosion" but due to the important reaction of oxygen with iron this process of corrosion is also called "Rusting".

    5. Oxygen is a very poor conductor of heat and electricity (non-metal).

    6. Oxygen is slightly soluble in water but it is soluble very well with cold water. It is also soluble in some other chemicals like alcohol.

    Oxygen in Organic Chemistry:

    Organic Chemistry is a very important branch of Chemistry that deals with compounds that are very important for life.

    Oxygen is an element that is present in many functional groups like alcohol, phenol, ether, aldehyde, ketone, and carboxylic acid.  Moreover, Oxygen is very important in biochemistry and forms very important life-forming compounds.

    Oxygen in Biology:

    Oxygen is very important in biology. In biology, the reaction of respiration is very important and uses a lot of oxygen.

    Now, many questions arise? Like,

    1. Normal oxygen level in blood.

    2. What is an oxygen concentrator?

    3. Oxygen saturation

    4. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

    1. Normal oxygen level in blood:

    A normal oxygen level in normal blood is 90% or higher.

    2. What is an oxygen concentrator?

    An oxygen concentrator is a machine that is used by patients who need more oxygen than normal humans. This machine compresses air and then filters air to pure oxygen which is used by the patient to fulfill their requirement.

    3. Oxygen Saturation:

    Oxygen saturation is a measure of how much oxygen is bound with hemoglobin to how much oxygen remains unbound.

    4. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy:

    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the treatment used to treat carbon monoxide-poisonous, wounds that can't heal soon and much more.

    This is a cylinder-like machine in which oxygen is supplied more than the body's requirement this increases energy level, speeds up the body's healing process, and much more.

    Oxygen in many industries:

    Oxygen is used in many industries including the steel industry, chemical industry, medical industry, and food industry.

    1. Use in the steel industry to remove impurities and reduce the carbon content.

    2. Use in the chemical industry to produce many types of chemicals such as acetylene gas, ethylene oxide, etc.,

    3. Use in the medical industry to treat a variety of conditions, including respiratory failure, asthma, emphysema, carbon monoxide poisoning, and cluster headaches.

    4 Use in the food industry as an oxidizing agent to prevent food color.

    Conclusion:

    Oxygen is the most important element for life as well as our technological growth. Traditional cars use a combustion process that occurs in the presence of oxygen and nowadays hydrogen cars also use oxygen for air to operate.

    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...

    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...

    Wave particles duality: History of Light

     Wave particle duality: History of Light Light is a wave. Oh! sorry particle. Oh! sorry sorry both. Light is a particle or wave you decide after reading this article and leaving your answer in the comment after reading this article. Light According to Newton: Newton which is very famous in classical mechanics. Classic mechanics without Newton is not possible. Imagine the equations of motion and laws of motion which are very useful to describe any motion of a machine or for satellites. Our current technology is based on the phenomena of classical mechanics. And this can't be ignored how useful classical mechanics are in our daily lives. Newton thought that light is a particle to prove this Newton gave his corpuscles theory. According to Newton's corpuscles theory, "light is a particle called corpuscles". This theory is instrumental in describing most of the phenomena of light. But in many cases it fails, for example, to describe phenomena such as interference and polar...
