Explanation of Elasticity in the Light of Intermolecular Force Elasticity in the light of intermolecular force When force is applied on a crystalline body, atoms/molecules of the body are displaced from their equilibrium positions.…
Quantities which are Related to Elasticity Some quantities are especially related to elasticity which is discussed below: (a) Perfectly elastic body: A body that returns to its original shape and size…
Elasticity Definition We know, when a force is applied to a body its physical change occurs i.e., the body becomes deformed and when the force is withdrawn…
Metallic Bond Metallic Bond Generally metallic bond is observed in metals. Metal atom prefers to have maximum number of atoms around it. As distance between atoms is…
Vander Waals Bond Vander Waals Bond A universal weak attractive force acts between nearby atoms. The mutual interaction by which this force of attraction is created is called…
Intermolecular Force in State of Matter Intermolecular Force in State of Matter Before discussing elasticity we need to know the structure of matter and why elasticity is produced in matter. Normally…
Covalent Bond During chemical interaction, of two atoms of the same element or different elements, if transfer of outer-shell electrons is not possible, then by sharing of…
Ionic Bond or Electrovalent bond Ionic Bond While mixing a metal with a non-metal normally one or more electrons are donated by metal atom to non-metal atom. Consequently metal atom…
Inter Atomic Force in Gases Inter Atomic Force in Gases Interatomic distance in gases is very large and interatomic force is very small compared to solids and liquids. So, in…
Bonding of Matter Bonding of Matter Whatever we see around us, all of them are either elements or compounds. In materials there are innumerable numbers of molecules. Molecules…
