150.FUNDAMENTALS OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY(14) – Sampling(1).
We talked about different methods of analysis in the previous post and inferred that only with experience and intuition , we can choose a correct
105.Resonance(2)
In the last post we studied what resonance means and how resonating structures blend to give the resonance hybrid structure. In this post we shall
13.SI Units.
As we know ,science is studied all around the world.Thus, it is essential that we have a standard system for measurements and have units for
12.Chemistry & Mathematics(8)-Integration(2).
In the last post we studied what Integration means and some basic rules for finding integrals.I mentioned a term ‘Indefinite Integral’ in my last post.In
11.Chemistry & Mathematics(7)-Integration(1).
Today I begin writing about the second part of calculus – INTEGRATION.In the earlier posts we discussed how differentiation helps us to divide our data
10.Chemistry & Mathematics (6)-Differentiation(3).
Partial Differentiation. In this post I intend to discuss the concept of PARTIAL DIFFERENTIATION.We have already studied that for a function with one variable ‘y’
9.Chemistry &Mathematics(5)-Differentiation(2).
In this post we shall discuss the concept of differentiation in greater detail.In our last post we have already learned what derivatives are and why
8.Chemistry & Mathematics(4)-Differentiation(1).
Calculus. After discussing about graphs now we shall discuss a somewhat esoteric mathematical topic namely Calculus which includes the following two types – i)Differential
7.Chemistry & Mathematics(3) – Graphs(2)
Log-log graphs. We discussed in the last post that a straight line graph is very helpful in interpreting experimental data but sometimes experiments give us
6.Chemistry & Mathematics(2) – Graphs(1)
In the earlier post we discussed about the importance of mathematics in Chemistry.Today,let us begin by understanding how we can plot our experimental data on

“God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.” – A.
3.Chemistry and Spirituality – Part I
I come from a land (INDIA) , where in ancient times, saints were scientists.It would not be an overstatement to say that the yogis and
2.Ancient Indian Chemistry
Today I begin to write about ancient chemists and the knowledge they had in the field of Chemistry. I came across many references in ancient
1.Scope of Chemistry
Chlorine is a deadly poisonous gas employed on European battlefields in World war I.Sodium is a corrosive metal which burns upon contact with water.Together they
