           CHEMICAL REACTIONS & EQUATIONS

Chemical reactions
1. Chemical reaction-
     Chemical reactions are the processes in which new substances are      formed.
Example-
Magnesium + oxygen----> Magnesium oxide
The burning of magnesium in air to form magnesium oxide is an example of chemical reaction.
Types of chemical reactions-
1.    Combination reactions
2.    Decomposition reactions
3.    Displacement reactions
4.    Double displacement reactions
5.    Oxidation and reduction reactions
Components of chemical reaction are-
1.    Reactant
2.    Product

Characteristics of chemical reaction-
1.    Evolution of gas
2.    Formation of a precipitate (ppt)
3.    Change in colour
4.    Change in temperature
5.    Change in state                                                                                                                   
                      Chemical equations
Chemical equation-
The method of representing a chemical reaction with the help of symbols and formulae of the substances involved in it is known as a chemical equation.
Example-
Mg3N2 + 3H2O ----> 3MgO + 2NH3

Some chemical equations are given below-
1) 2Fe2O3 +3C----> 4Fe+3CO2
2)H2SO4+CaCO3----> CaSO4+H2CO3
3) 2H2+02----> 2H2O
4) CH3COOH+C2H5OH---->  CH3COOC2H5+H2O
5) 1 AgNO3 + 1 LiOH ----> 1 AgOH + 1 LiNO3
6) CH4+2O2----> CO2+2H2O.
7) Sn+2H2SO4----> SnSO4+2H2O+SO2
8) CuO+H2SO4----> CuSO4+H2
9) Mg3N2 + 3H2O ---->  3MgO + 2NH3
10) N2 + O2---->  2 NO

Periodic table

                                   Periodic table ELEMENTS- Elements are pure from of matter that are made up of one type of atom. ·        DOBEREINER- Grouped all elements in three (triads). ·        NEWLAND- Observed that when elements are arranging in increasing order of their atomic mass. Every eighteen element beginning from any element resemble the first element in its physical and chemical properties. ·        DMITRI MENDLEVE- He is a Russian chemist gave the first periodic table of elements based on his law which states that “The properties of elements are the periodic functions of their atomic mass.”   ·        Modern periodic table was given by HENERY MOSELEY.

Robots

                                                    Robots A  robot is a machine—especially one programmable by a computer— capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. Robots can be guided by an external control device or the control may be embedded within. Robots may be constructed on the lines of human form, but most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to their aesthetics. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) and TOSY's TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, medical operating robots, patient assist robots, dog therapy robots, collectively programmed swarm robots, UAV drones...
