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...
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...
