In Quantum chemistry, valence bond (VB) theory and molecular orbital (MO) theory, are two basic theories that are used to explain chemical bonding or simply how atoms come together to form molecules. Valence Bond Theory, rooted in the early 20th century, paints a picture of chemical bonds as localized interactions between overlapping atomic orbitals. VBT … Read more
A sol is a colloidal solution suspension of very small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium. Sols are quite stable and show the Tyndall Effect. Tyndall Effect is the scattering of visible light by colloidal particles. Artificial sols may be prepared by dispersion or condensation. Dispersion techniques include grinding solids to colloidal dimensions by … Read more

These electron pairs and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is what is referred to as covalent bonding. There is a covalent bond … Read more
What Is A Colloid? A colloid is a homogenous non-crystalline substance consisting of large molecules or ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through a second substance. A common method of classifying colloids is based on the phase of the dispersed substance and what phase it is dispersed in. Colloids include: gels, sols, aerosols and emulsions. … Read more
While both belong to the Enterobacteriaceae family, Salmonella and Shigella harbor distinctive characteristics that set them apart in terms of transmission, symptoms, and epidemiology. Characteristics of Salmonella Salmonella species are predominantly motile enterobacteria found in the digestive tracts of humans and animals especially reptiles. Food and water can also be contaminated with the bacteria if … Read more
Plant movements do exist. Plant use movements as an adaptation to escape or minimize injury from harmful external factors or move towards scarce resource or otherwise secure food. For example, the primary root moves downward where it can obtain water and mineral nutrients from deep down while the shoot moves upward to be exposed to … Read more
