Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

I find a different aroma in this poem, a relation that keeps me hooked to it. May be its just due to the everyday happenings that sometimes leave a mark. I am in the woods mourning unconsciously for the old, dark happenings. My cries may turn the dark, haunting forest even more cold (with snow) but the 'owner' of the world stands nowhere to see my anxieties, my pains and my sorrows. I realize that I am alone... even my companion doubts my stay here. Steadily, I begin loving this sadness. I decide to give up everything that mattered and continue life in this chilling beauty but I am enthused by nature and its grace to keep going ahead.

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening

 Whose woods are these I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

 My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and a frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

 He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

 The winds are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep, 
And miles to go before I sleep.

 -Robert Frost

Group 14-16: Non metals ( Periodic Table #6)

Non-metals are the elements in groups 14-16 of the periodic table. Non-metals are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well . Non-metallic elements are very brittle , and not malleable (i.e.cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets). The non-metals exist in two of the three states of matter at room temperature: gases (such as oxygen) and solids (such as carbon). The non-metals have no metallic luster, and do not reflect light . They have oxidation numbers of ±4, -3, and -2. The Non-Metal elements are: Hydrogen Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorus Sulfur Selenium  Although five times more elements are metals than nonmetals, two of the nonmetals —hydrogen and helium—make up over 99 per cent of the observable Universe,  and one—oxygen—makes up close to half of the Earth's crust, oceans and atmosphere.   Living organisms are also composed almost entirely of nonmetals,  and nonmetals form many more compounds than metals CREDIT: wikiped...

Structure of atoms #2 : Electronic Configuration

Image
The arrangement of electrons in the various shells/orbits/energy levels of an atom of the element is known as electronic configuration. Bohr-Bury scheme Electrons revolve around the nucleus in different energy levels or shells and each shell is associated with definite energy. The energy of the K shell is the least while those of L, M, N and O shells increases progressively. We also know that any system that has least energy is the most stable. 1 s t  energy level is K shell 2 n d  energy level is L shell 3 r d  energy level is M shell 4 t h  energy level is N shell and so on. Electronic configuration of an element Bohr and Bury Scheme - Important Rules 1. Maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell is given by 2n 2  where n=shell number For 1 s t  energy level, n = 1 Maximum number of electrons in 1 s t  energy level = 2n 2 2 x (1) 2 = 2 For 2 n d  energy level n=2 Maximum number of...
