In chemistry, a mixture and a compound are two different states of a substance. In this post, we will learn about these two states and try to find out what is the difference between...
Reactivity series of metals and nonmetals are the lists, in which we arrange them in the decreasing order of their chemical activity. It is also known as the activity series. The reactivity series helps...
In chemistry, we categorize all materials around us as – pure substances and mixtures. Mixtures are further classified as – homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture. In this post, we will learn about the characteristics...
There are different types of chemical reactions – hydrolysis, oxidation, synthesis, reduction, combustion, electrolysis, neutralization, etc. However, we can classify all types of reactions into the following categories: Combination or synthesis reaction Decomposition reaction...
The definition of a pure substance in chemistry is not the same as that of what we use commonly. Most of the substances, in our daily life, which we assume as pure are not pure...
In chemistry, all types of changes can broadly be classified into physical and chemical changes. In this post, we will learn about the difference in physical and chemical change with examples- The characteristics of...
