matter


            Matter in our surroundings

  1. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
  2. S.I. unit of mass and volume is kilograme and cubic metre (m3). respectively.
  3. Matter can be classified into two groups based on the physical and chemical properties.
  4. On the basis of physucal properties matter can be divided into gas, liquid and solid.
  5. On the bases of chemical properties matter can be divided into Elements , Compound and mixture.
  6. Solid has fixed shape and volume.
  7. Liquid do not have fixed shape.
  8. Gas has neither fixed volume nor shape.
  9. Every matter is composed of certain particles which are differ in shape ,size and Volume.
10.Particles of matter have a tendency to diffuse.
11-States of matter can be interchanged by changing its temperature or pressure.

          Some important definitions 

 1-Diffusion- When the particles of the matter of higher concentration move to the the matter of lower concentration. This event is called Diffusion.

 2-Fusion- When the temperature of solid substance is increased, the solid get melt and solid and start to be converted into liqiid This is called fusion. It happens at a specific or particular temperature for a particular solid.

3-Boiling-  The conversion of liquid state to vapour form at a particular temperature is called Boiling. for eg. Water is converted into vapour state at 100º It is a bulk phenomenon.

4-Freezing- The conversion of liquid to the solid at a particular temperature is called Freezing For eg Water is converted into solid(snow) at 0º temp.

 5-Evapourization-The conversion of liquid to its vapour state is called evapourization. It also takes place at a all temperature. for eg. Water is converted into gaseous state at a temp of 100º ,29º,50º etc. 

 6-Condensation-Condensation is a process in which a gas can be converted into liquid .
or we can say conversion of matter from its gaseous state to liquid state is called Condensation.

 7-Sublimation- Sublimation is an event in which any solid is changed into its vapour form without changing into liquid on heating and vice-versa on coolong. eg camphor and Ammonium chloride(NHկCl).
8-Latent heat-The heat energy which has to be supplied to change the state of substance is called is called Latent heat.
9-Latent heat of vapourization -It is the heat energy required to hange 1 kg. of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.
10-Latent heat of Fusion- It is the heat required to change 1 kg. of solid into liquid at its  melting point.

besides Solid, liquid, gas Scientists have discovered some more states of matter eg. Plasma and Bose Instein Condensate.
Plasma state consists of super energetic and super-excited particles.
Sun and star glow because of presence of plasma in them.

Apiculture

                                 Apiculture or Bee keeping                                             Rearing , care and management of honey bees for obtaining wax, honey and other useful substances is called Apiculture. Honey is used in eating and used as medicines also . This natural product is useful for different diseases like  dysentery , vomiting and  other stomachal problems or liver ailments. Honey should be taken in the morning when stomach is empty . one glass water with one tea spoon of honey. It improves our digestion and works as blood Purifier. It is also used for  removing the problems like cold sore, throat , ulcer of stomach and intestine etc.    Products obtained from honey bees By apiculture we can obtain the following useful produ...

Subatomic Particles

                                   SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES   Before studying about subatomic particle  we should know in brief  what is  atom?                        Atom-: Atom  is the smallest particle of any element.  In the old time, It is assumed that atom is indivisible  but with the help of new discoveries , this assumption thauut atom is indivisible is failed. Now all know that atom is divisible and it is formed of more small particles called subatomic particles.   Atom is divisible   further ,this can be considered with the study of static electricity and conduction of electricity in the conductor. Events which shows atom is divisible- Flowing of electricity in Conductor. Transfer of heat from one point to another. Attraction or Repulsion b/w charged species.  A...

Symbols of Chemical Elements

                            SYMBOLS OF CHEMICAL ELEMENTS Symbol- Abbreviation of elements in the form of one or two letters is called Symbol, eg. Hydrogen＝H, Helium＝H                      A diagramatic representation of Atom Note- Atom is the the smallest particle of any Element. Radius of atom is ten the power minus eight cm. ,While Nucleus is the centre of the atom and its radius is 10 the power minus 12 cm. History of  Symbol- In 1803, An English Chemist and Physicist, John Dalton  gave the Symbols first to represent the atoms of the elements, besides this Dalton was considered as the father of modern atomic theory. He told that  molecules and atoms may be represented in Symbolic form in place of writing their names but now a days Dalton's Symbols are not recognised. As we know the era is changed, In the same manner old Symb...
