How fast is biodiversity being lost? These experts calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species will become extinct each year. If the low estimate of the number of species out there is true – i.e. that there are around 2 million different species on our planet** – then that means between 200 and […]

Is burning of candle a reversible change?
Is burning of candle a reversible change? When a candle is burned, chemical reactions take place between the wax and oxygen. These chemical reactions release energy in the form of heat and light. These chemical reactions can’t be reversed back. What ways to change the materials? What are some ways of changing solid materials? Physical […]
What is negative resonance?
What is negative resonance? Negative Resonance Effect- Negative resonance effect occurs when the groups withdraw the electrons from other molecules by the process of delocalization. The groups are usually denoted by -R or -M. In this process, the molecular electron density is said to decrease. For example- -NO2, C=O, -COOH, -C≡N. What is difference between […]
What is the maximum potential energy of the spring?
What is the maximum potential energy of the spring? When the kinetic energy is maximum, the potential energy is zero. This occurs when the velocity is maximum and the mass is at the equilibrium position. The potential energy is maximum when the speed is zero. What is the potential energy of a spring derive it? […]

What element has 2 protons 2 neutrons? Helium What did Chadwick prove? In 1932, Chadwick made a fundamental discovery in the domain of nuclear science: he proved the existence of neutrons – elementary particles devoid of any electrical charge. For this epoch-making discovery he was awarded the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society in 1932, […]
What are the two main functions of cell wall?
What are the two main functions of cell wall? The main function of the cell wall is to provide structural strength and support, and also provide a semi-permeable surface for molecules to pass in and out of the cell. Where are cell walls found? A cell wall is a fairly rigid layer surrounding a cell […]

How do you explain observations?
How do you explain observations? Observation is the active acquisition of information from a primary source. In living beings, observation employs the senses. In science, observation can also involve the perception and recording of data via the use of scientific instruments. The term may also refer to any data collected during the scientific activity.
