What is Isobars?

  Atoms of chemical elements having same atomic mass but a different atomic number are called Isobars. The sum of the number of protons and neutrons together form the atomic mass. Therefore, we can also say the number of nucleons present in the nucleus is equal to the atomic mass of an atom. It will have the same number of nucleons. The number of protons and neutrons alone will vary but the number of nucleons or the sum of protons and neutrons in isobars will always be same. Isobars always have different atomic structure because of the difference in atomic numbers. The number of neutrons makes up the difference in the number of nucleons. Therefore, they are always different chemical elements having same atomic masses. Thus, isobar has different chemical properties. For example : Iron and nickel have atomic number 26 and 28 respectively. However, the mass number is 58. Argon and calcium with atomic number 18 and 20, respectively. However, they have the same atomic mass 40.

What is the definition of melting and boiling point?

Melting point :   Melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid at normal atmospheric pressure. Boiling point :   Temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and liquid change to vapor.
Saturated solutions is the chemical solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent. The additional solute will not dissolve in a saturated solution. Ex :- Sugar solution.

What are Colloids or Colloidal Solution?

Colloidal solutions, or colloidal suspensions, are nothing but a mixture in which the substances are regularly suspended in a fluid. A colloid is a very tiny and small material that is spread out uniformly all through another substance.  What do you mean by Colloids?   Colloids are mixtures in which microscopically dispersed insoluble particles of one substance are suspended in another substance. The size of the suspended particles in a colloid can range from 1 to 1000 nanometres (10-9 metres).

What is a chemical reaction?

A Chemical Reaction is a process that occurs when two or more molecules interact to form a new product(s). Compounds that interact to produce new compounds are called reactants whereas the newly formed compounds are called products.

What is Tyndall effect? Explain with an example.

 'Tyndall effect, also called Tyndall phenomenon, scattering of a beam of light by a medium containing small suspended particles.' Ex - Smoke or Dust in a room, which makes visible a light beam entering a window.  Short-wavelength blue light is scattered more strongly than long-wavelength red light. The Tyndall effect occurs from particles roughly the same size as the wavelength of light. The effect is named for the 19th-century British physicist John Tyndall, who first studied it extensively.                                            or 'The scattering of light by particles in its path is called Tyndall effect.' When a beam of light enters a smoke-filled dark room through a small hole, then its path becomes visible to us. The tiny dust particles present in the air of r...

What the difference between saturated and unsaturated?

Answer : The difference between saturated and unsaturated fat lies in the number of double bonds in the fatty acid chain. Saturated fatty acids lack double bonds between the individual carbon atoms, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one double bond in the fatty acid chain.

What is an unsaturated solution with example?

Answer : Adding a spoonful of sugar to a cup of hot coffee produces an unsaturated sugar solution. Vinegar is an unsaturated solution of acetic acid in water. Mist is an unsaturated (but close to saturated) solution of water vapor in air.

What is saturated solution with example?

Answer : A soda is a saturated solution of carbon dioxide in water. This is why, when the pressure is released, carbon dioxide gas forms bubbles. Adding chocolate powder to milk so that it stops dissolving forms a saturated solution.

What is matter?

The term matter refers to anything that occupies space and has mass. it is made up of tiny particles called atoms. There are three states of matter.  Solid Liquid Gas For example pen, pencil, toothbrush, water, milk are matters as well as car, bus, bicycle is also a matter. So matter is considered as a living thing and a non-living thing.
