Le Chatelier's Principle

Le Chatelier’s Principle

Pressure and chemical equilibrium transfer According to Le Châtelier, if the pressure is increased, the equilibrium position will move to reduce the pressure. The system can reduce the pressure by reacting in such a way as … more

Ionic Bond

Ionic Bond

Formation and energy of the ionic bonds Metal atoms have strong properties to lose electrons and become cations. On the contrary, non-metallic atoms have strong properties to obtain electrons and become anions. As these two particles … more

Temperature and Reaction Rate

Temperature and Reaction Rate

Heat and molecular motion Every object is made up of atoms or molecules that are small particles that the eye can not see. These particles are constantly moved or oscillated themselves. This is called molecular motion. … more

Pascals Principle

Pascal’s Principle

Pascal’s Principle Pascal’s principle is as follows. “Suppose a closed tube filled with uncompressed fluid. Then, the pressure of this tube’s inside is the same everywhere.” For example, If you press any part of the tube … more

Ductile and Malleable Properties of Pure Metal

The Ductility and Malleability of Metal

The ductility and malleability of metal When a force is applied to a metal crystal, the metal atom layer is pushed, and the atomic arrangement changes. But at this time, the free electrons move and maintain … more

Reaction Rate of Solution

Reaction Rate

What will the reactant and product concentration curve look like over time? Click the button to start the synthesis reaction. Reaction rate Reaction rate refers to the degree to which a chemical reaction occurs quickly or … more

The Structure of Ester

The Structure of Ester

Ester Ester is an organic compound having a -COO- group in the middle of its molecular structure. Esters usually have fragrances and are found in perfumes, herbal oils, and pheromones. It is also used as a … more

Status Change of Water

Status Change of Water

Melting point and heat of fusion When heat is applied to ice (solid), the temperature rises gradually. By the way, while the ice is melting, the temperature does not rise. Temperature is kept constant, and the … more

Standard Reduction Potentials

Standard Reduction Potential

Standard hydrogen electrode A platinum electrode is inserted in a solution with a concentration of H+ of 1M, and hydrogen gas at 25℃ of 1 atm surrounding the platinum electrode is in equilibrium with H+. At … more

What if the water molecule have a straight structure?

What if the water molecule have a straight structure?

The structure of the water molecule Water is a representative ‘polar molecule’. The hydrogen-oxygen-hydrogen bonds that make up the water molecule have an angle of 104.5˚ and appear curved. Because of this unbalanced water molecule structure, … more

Polar Molecule & Nonpolar Molecule

Polar Molecule & Nonpolar Molecule

Polar molecule Polar molecules have polar covalent bonds between their constituent atoms, and the shape of the molecule is asymmetric. Therefore, the centers of positive and negative charges do not coincide. Just as there are poles … more
