This day, that year: We became a Republic

Today on the 65th Republic day of my country, India, I feel privileged to say that our constitution has passed its 65 successful years in making India a better nation in all aspects since its enforcement on the 26th day of January, 1950. Hardships come, things still need to be made better but still the day when we became Republic sparkles like a gem in the amazing history of India. The constitution is the supreme power of the country that provides each Indians their own rights and duties and gives them the power to fight for their grievances.

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...
