This is a topic which I studied extensively in my master`s project. I am including this in my profile because I think it is a very important area of research and hope that it is convi...

BASES AND ALKALIS A base is a substance which will neutralize an acid to yield a salt and water only. Most oxide and hydroxide of metals are bases e.g. Na2O, K2O, MgO, NaOH, KOH e.t....

Many students find this course really challenging.Not only do we have a lot of content, the examiners can give you unusual examples in the guise of applying your knowledge to un...

Physical Trends Down Group 2:1. Atomic radius increases2. First ionisation energy decreases3. Melting point decreases - size of atom/ion increases so delocalised electrons are ...

BasicsIonic bonding is the transfer of electrons between metals and non-metalsMetals GIVE electronsNon-metals ACCEPT electronsMetals lose electrons to obtain a full outer shell (Noble...

Covalent BondingCovalent bonding is a formation of two atoms sharing a pair of electrons. This type of bonding happens in most non-metal elements as well as in compounds formed amon...

Ionic Compound Ionic compounds are comprised of charged particles, known as ions. They have a giant lattice structure along with great electrostatic forces of attraction. An ion is...

Atoms are made up of a nucleus comprising protons and neutrons, encircled by electrons in shells. The number of subatomic particles in an atom can be determined from the atom`s atom...

Background Protein therapeutics which occupy about 13.8% of the global market are biological drugs that can be used for treating cancer and other infectious diseases. Monoclonal an...

BackgroundA significant number of the newly discovered drugs are poorly water soluble. Currently, about 40% of the drugs have poor water solubility and also 60% of the newly synthes...
