After reading this article you will learn about the oxidation and reduction reactions of substances. A chemical reaction can be defined as a change in which a substance (or substances) is changed into one or more new substances. In redox reactions both reduction and the oxidation processes go on side-by-side. The oxidation and reduction reactions can be explained in three [...]
This article throws light upon the two main types of isomerism in molecules. The types are: 1. Structural Isomerism 2. Stereo Isomerism. Type # 1. Structural Isomerism: When the isomers differ only in the arrangement of atoms or groups within the molecule, without any reference to space, these are known as structural isomers and the phenomenon as structural isomerism. Thus, [...]
Introduction: Basically, the stoichiometry may be regarded as the branch of chemistry and chemical engineering which deals with the quantities of substances which enter into and are produced by chemical reactions. Stoichiometry gives the quantitative relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. It can be utilized in microbial technology also. Stoichiometry can be classified into two main categories: [...]
