Introduction to Corrosion Corrosion Overview Definition of corrosion: Corrosion is the natural process where metals degrade into more stable forms like oxides or sulfides. Definition of corrosion: Corrosion is a slow, natural process where metals, which are usually shiny and strong, are gradually worn down and changed into more stable forms such as metal oxides, … Read more
Organic Compounds Definition: Organic compounds are those that contain carbon as a central element. Definition: Organic compounds are special types of substances that always contain carbon as one of their main building blocks. These compounds are very important because carbon can form many different shapes and bonds, which makes it easy to create a huge … Read more
Chemical Cells Overview Definition of chemical cells: Devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy using spontaneous redox reactions. Definition of chemical cells: Chemical cells are special types of devices that can take the chemical energy stored inside substances and turn it into electrical energy that we can use to power things. They achieve this … Read more
Electrolytic Cells Overview Definition of electrolytic cells: Electrolytic cells use electrical energy to drive non-spontaneous chemical reactions. Definition of electrolytic cells: Electrolytic cells are special types of devices that take in electrical energy, like the kind from a battery, and use it to make chemical reactions happen. These chemical reactions would not happen on their … Read more
Introduction to Metal Extraction Metal Extraction Overview Occurrence of metals: Metals are usually found in nature as compounds within ores. Occurrence of metals: Metals are not usually found in their pure form in nature. Instead, they are combined with other elements to form compounds, and these compounds are found in rocks called ores. To get … Read more
Definition What are composites?: Composite materials are formed by combining two or more different materials to enhance their properties. What are composites?: Composite materials are specially designed materials made by combining two or more different substances, such as metals, plastics, or ceramics. These different materials work together as a team to create a final material … Read more
Redox Reactions Definition of redox: Redox reactions involve simultaneous oxidation and reduction processes. Definition of redox: Redox reactions are types of chemical reactions where two very important things happen at the same time: oxidation, where a substance loses electrons, and reduction, where a different substance gains those electrons. Electron transfer: These reactions feature the transfer … Read more
Electrode Potential Definition of E: Electrode potential measures a species’ tendency to lose or gain electrons in a solution. Definition of E: Electrode potential is a way to measure how much a chemical species, such as a metal atom or an ion, wants to lose or gain electrons when placed into a solution. It helps … Read more
Main Component Primary material: Glass mainly consists of silica (silicon dioxide, SiO₂), typically obtained from sand. Primary material: The main ingredient used to make glass is silica, which is also called silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Silica is most commonly found in sand, and it forms the base structure of glass, giving it strength and clarity. Atomic … Read more
Definition What are ceramics?: Ceramics are materials made from inorganic, non-metallic substances. What are ceramics?: Ceramics are special types of materials that are made from substances that do not come from living things and do not contain metal. These materials are often formed by heating them to very high temperatures, causing them to harden into … Read more
