I googled it, and the answer it gave was: Stereoisomers?

Aditi we have not done polyatomic ions yet so you are confused about it.
Answer is NH4+ and as you know we are starting polyatomic ions in the next class and you will understand it better there.

YBTC chemistry for young children / Re: Solar Flares
Last post by uma - May 10, 2024, 04:32:07 AM
Solar flares is sudden outburst of energy in the outermost atmosphere of the sun  due to interaction in magnetic and electric fields in the sun.
The Sun's surface has a complex and dynamic magnetic field. These magnetic fields are  twisted and tangled in some part due to the Sun's motion.
 When the magnetic field lines become highly twisted, they can suddenly try to rearrange themselves and in this  process  a tremendous amount of stored magnetic energy is released.
The magnetic energy interacts with charged particles, such as electrons and proton and increases their speeds. These accelerated particles collides with surrounding plasma (a hot, ionized gas) in the Sun's atmosphere, raising its temperatures by millions of degrees Celsius. So heated plasma  heated plasma emits more electromagnetic radiation like  X-rays and ultraviolet (UV) light to visible light and radio waves. This sudden emission is called as a solar flare.
Solar flares can impact significantly earth's space atmosphere and can shut down satellites communication system, electric power grids and internet connectivity.

Quote from: Avni on May 09, 2024, 02:22:45 PMBut what starts the process of the clone coming to life? When you clone the organism, is it like creating a whole new organism, like starting with meiosis and continuing with mitosis?
The way life starts in any bio organism and like a new born baby.

YBTC chemistry for young children / Re: Semiconductors
Last post by uma - May 10, 2024, 04:11:57 AM
Semiconductors have an electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (like copper or aluminum) and an insulator (like rubber or glass). This unique nature between conducting and non conducting makes them to work as per desire in electronic gadgets. Engineers can control these conducting and non conducting tendency through the application of voltages or other external factors and can design circuits that perform specific functions reliably.
There is always a risk of semiconductor failure and modern manufacturing techniques and modern materials are refining and extending the life of electronic devices working on semiconductors.

These definitions are developed over a period of time.
Like Arrhenius acid -base can be used only when substance give  H3+O or OH - in water.
Bronsted -Lowery based definition is more broader explain the acid base reactions in water.
Lewis acid-base is ultimate definition and is not limited in water only or with H+ or OH-.
Like BF3 is a Lewis acid  which can be explained by using other definitions.

YBTC chemistry for young children / Re: Magnets size and strength
Last post by uma - May 10, 2024, 03:56:47 AM
Yes when you break a magnet you will get two new magnets with the North and south pole.
However, as size reduces the strength of the magnet decreases.
A larger magnet will have a stronger magnetic field than a smaller magnet.

Quote from: Avni on May 09, 2024, 02:53:36 PMSo does that mean for some substances it is impossible to reach liquid state? And can things like wood and meat reach the gas state?
Yes there are many things which can undergo decomposition before melting or boiling.

Quote from: Avni on May 09, 2024, 03:02:24 PMAnd if fatty foods (for example chicken) are more stable --> less likely to spoil --> so then why does chicken spoil faster than things like oils which are less stable than chicken? (unless fats defy the rule of nature liking stability)
Chicken is a mixture of many form of matter and it is not pure oil .There are many things in chicken which have higher rate of spoiling then pure oil.
