Chemistry is a familiar school subject
Everyone liked to observe the reaction of reagents. But few know interesting facts about chemistry, which we will discuss in this article.
Ground State
The lowest energy state or most stable state of an atom, molecule or ion.
Ioniztion
The breaking up of a compound into separate ions.
Nitric Acid
HNO3: A strong acid, it is toxic and can cause severe burns. Transparent colorless or yellowish, fuming, suffocating, caustic and corrosive liquid. Nitric acid boiling point is 83C. A 70 percent solution is used in the S.S.E. laboratory for junction depth measurements. Nitric acid is also present in the metal etch solution used for the Aluminum etch procedure.
Le Chatelier's Principle
States that a system at equilibrium, or striving to attain equilibrium, responds in such a way as to counteract any stress placed upon it.
If a stress (change of conditions) is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system shifts in the direction that reduces stress.
Metalloids
Elements with properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals: B, Al, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, and At.
