Most people worldwide consider ions and radicals the same, but there is a difference between the two. Yes, you read it right; there is a difference between ions and radicals. In chemistry, ions, and...
In chemistry, a mixture and a compound represent two different forms of substances. In this post, we will explore these two forms and examine the key differences between a mixture and a compound. Additionally,...
The reactivity series is a systematic arrangement of metals and nonmetals in order of their decreasing chemical activity. Also known as the activity series, it helps predict how a substance will react with others,...
In chemistry, we group materials around us into pure substances and mixtures. We further classify mixtures into homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures, based on how we distribute their components. These mixtures are all around us,...
In this blog, we will explore various types of chemical reactions with simple explanations and real-life examples to help you understand how they work in everyday situations. Chemical reactions occur all around us, from...
In chemistry, the definition of a pure substance is different from how we use the word in everyday life. Many things we think of as pure, like milk, honey, tap water, fruit juice, or...
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...
Some basic physical and chemical properties of metals that differentiate them from non-metals and metalloids are as follows: Physical Properties of Metals: Usually, metals are hard, opaque, possess luster, and conduct heat and electricity....
In my earlier post Elements and Compounds, we learned that scientists have discovered a total of 118 elements so far. Among them: 94 elements are metals, 17 are nonmetals, and the remaining 7 elements...
Materials and substances are commonly discussed in chemistry, but sometimes it’s hard for kids to understand what makes them different. Let’s go a bit deeper into explaining this. Think about everything around you: stones,...
