AN OVERVIEW OF COMPUTATIONAL MODELLING     INTRODUCTION: Computational modelling is a powerful tool that uses mathematical and computational methods to simulate and study complex systems. It allows researchers to test hypotheses, make predictions and gain insights into the behavior of systems that are difficult or impossible to study experimentally. This report […]

CYCLOTRON Principle Charge particle can be accelerated to large kinetic energy by making it pass through a high frequency electric field and again by using strong magnetic field Construction and working Let a charge particle placed in between 2 dees subjected to electric field and magnetic field simultaneously. If the dee D1, that -ve potential […]

Vanderwaal’s force of attraction:- Van der Waals forces are weak electrostatic forces that attract neutral molecules to one another. Particles in liquid or air vibrate and move constantly. Thus, they collide with other particles, including the media’s particles such as water molecules—the process known as Brownian motion. When these neutral particles reach within a threshold distance, […]

Rutherford Atomic Model The plum pudding model given by J. J. Thomson failed to explain certain experimental results associated with the atomic structure of elements. Ernest Rutherford, a British scientist conducted an experiment and based on the observations of this experiment, he explained the atomic structure of elements and proposed Rutherford’s Atomic Model. Rutherford’s Alpha […]

Menstrual Cycle Introduction:- • Menstrual cycle is a periodic discharge of blood, mucus and cellular debris from the uterine walls as well as ovum during reproductive life of a woman. • The cycle lasts for about 28 days . • Menstruation starts at the age of 12-13 years and lasts up to 40-45 years when […]

Beta Oxidation Definition Beta oxidation is a metabolic process involving multiple steps by which fatty acid molecules are broken down to produce energy. More specifically, beta oxidation consists in breaking down long fatty  acids that have been converted to acyl-CoA chains into progressively smaller fatty acyl-CoA chains. This reaction releases acetyl-CoA, FADH2 and NADH, the three of which […]

Wave Function In quantum physics, a wave function is a mathematical description of a quantum state of a particle as a function of momentum, time, position, and spin. The symbol used for a wave function is a Greek letter called psi, 𝚿. By using a wave function, the probability of finding an electron within the […]

Heterogeneous Catalysts Heterogeneous catalysts are chemical catalysts whose physical phase is different from the physical phase of the reactants and/or products that take part in the catalyzed chemical reaction. Typically, solid phase heterogeneous catalysts are employed in order to facilitate the chemical reaction between two gaseous reactants. In such reactions, the catalysis takes place over […]
