Amwoga KhalwaleWhat is Azeotropic Distillation? Azeotropic distillation is a separation technique used to separate the components of a mixture by forming an azeotrope. Azeotropes are component mixtures with a constant boiling point. This type of mixture cannot be separated into components by simple distillation since all the components have the same boiling point. When an azeotropic … Read more
Gravimetric and Volumetric Analysis are common methods used in analytical chemistry. They provide mechanism for determining the amounts of substances present in a sample, each with its own set of principles, advantages and applications. Let’s talk more about the them. What is Gravimetric Analysis? Gravimetric analysis is a quantitative method used to determine the amount … Read more
Pauli Exclusion Principle An Austrian physicist named Wolfgang Pauli formulated the principle in the year 1925. With this principle, he basically described the behaviour of the electrons. Later in the year 1940, he expanded on the principle to cover all fermions under his spin-statistics theorem. Besides, fermions that are described by the principle include elementary particles … Read more
What is Aufbau Principle? The Aufbau Principle, also known as the building-up principle, is a concept that describes the order in which electrons fill atomic orbitals as an atom is built up. It states that electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals available to them before filling higher energy levels. According to the Aufbau Principle: For … Read more
Hund’s Rule and the Pauli Exclusion Principle are two principles in quantum mechanics that govern the behavior of electrons in atoms. Let’s talk more about the two. What is Pauli Exclusion Principle? The Pauli Exclusion Principle formulated by the Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. It states that no two electrons (or other fermions) in … Read more
Let us look at the between Gauge Bosons and the Higgs Boson through their definitions, characteristics, roles in particle interactions, experimental verifications, and broader implications for our comprehension of the cosmos. What is Gauge Boson? In particle physics, a gauge boson is a bosonic elementary particle that acts as the force carrier for elementary fermions. … Read more
There is always a confusion between humans those are dwarfs and humans those are cretins. Well, cretinism and dwarfism are two conditions resulting from deficiency and medical disorder. While Dwarfism is the state of being dwarf, cretinism is the condition of dwarfism showing signs of mental retardation. Let us talk more about the two conditions: What is … Read more
Red salmon Red salmon, also known as Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) is one of the smaller species of Pacific salmon, typically measuring around 20 to 30 inches in length and weighing between 4 to 15 pounds. It is native to the North Pacific Ocean and rivers that flow into it. Generally, Red salmon mostly inhabit … Read more

There are several branches of philosophy, two of which are ontology and epistemology. Ontology is the study of a thing’s essential nature and epistemology is the study of what we can know about a thing (or what we can know more generally). They are both sub-disciplines of philosophy. So, for example, “what is God like?” is … Read more
