chemical bonding and molecular structure

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure The smallest particle of element is atom and the smallest particle in a compound is molecule. The force or the binding that keeps the atoms in the molecule combined during the formation of molecule is called chemical bonding. The concepts like that of Kossel-Lewis, VSEPR principle, valence bond theory, molecular … Read more

Role of polar stratospheric clouds in ozone depletion

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) Ozone layer Ozone depletion Montreal Protocol Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are clouds that form in the stratosphere, the layer of Earth’s atmosphere above the troposphere. PSCs are made up of ice crystals and other particles. They are important because they can help to catalyze the reactions that destroy ozone. … Read more
