What is octet rule in short? The octet rule states that atoms tend to form compounds in ways that give them eight valence electrons and thus the electron configuration of a noble gas.

How do you find the distance between two parallel lines in linear algebra? In order to find the distance between two parallel lines, first we find a point on one of the lines and then we find its distance from the other line. Let (x1,y1) be a point on line (i); then its distance from […]

Is period of pendulum proportional to length? Thus, T=2π√Lg T = 2 π L g for the period of a simple pendulum. This result is interesting because of its simplicity. The only things that affect the period of a simple pendulum are its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The period is completely independent […]
