    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...

    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 stability increased down the group.

    4. Hydrogen Storage Ability:

    Alkaline Earth Metal is a nice option for the storage of hydrogen gas which is the fuel of the future. I often thought about what is like to have hydrogen in MCX(Multi Commodities Exchange)? Well, by the way, due to the hydrogen future of the alkaline earth metals market is also warm.

    5. Desiccant Properties:

    Alkaline Earth metal hydrides are very strong desiccants. These are nice properties of Alkaline Earth metal hydrides.

    Uses and Applications of  Hydrides of Alkaline Earth Metals:

    There are the following uses and applications of Hydrides of Alkaline Earth Metals:

    1. Hydrogen Production and Storage:

    As hydrides of Alkaline Earth Metals contain hydrogen they are useful for hydrogen production and storage.

    Hydrogen is the fuel of the future which we all accepted. But the problem with hydrogen in its storage. Storage of hydrogen is very difficult due to its small size and due to processes like hydrogen embrittlement.

    2. Desiccants:

    Hydrides of Alkaline Earth Metals are used as desiccants. Desiccants are the materials that absorb all the moisture.

    3. Improve Properties of Metal Alloy:

    Some hydrides of alkaline earth metals improve the properties of metal alloys. For example, Calcium hydrides are used to improve the properties of magnesium alloy.

    4. Water Purification:

    Some Hydrides of alkaline earth metals are useful for the purification of water. For example, Calcium hydrides are useful for the purification of water which contains arsenic.

    Conclusion:

    Well, hydrides of Alkaline earth metals are useful like other hydrides. So knowledge about them is important. I hope you like this article. 

    Thank you! For reading this article.

    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...
