    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...
