How do we calculate the empirical formula from percentage composition?
If a compound has 40% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen, and 53.3% oxygen, how do we find its formula?
Why does 1 mole of gases occupy 22.4 L at STP?
Ever wondered why chemists always remember this magic number?
Common mistakes in balancing equations
Why do students often get confused when balancing equations like Fe+HCl→FeCl2+H2\mathrm{Fe + HCl → FeCl₂ + H₂}?
Why is significant figures important in chemistry?
Does it really matter if we write 2.0 g or 2 g?
Real-life analogy for the mole
Can you relate the mole to something we see daily?
Why did Rutherford's model fail?
Rutherford discovered the nucleus, but his model couldn't explain something important. What was it?
How does Bohr's model explain atomic spectra?
Why do hydrogen atoms give specific colored lines instead of a continuous spectrum?
Why do electrons not crash into the nucleus?
What keeps them from falling in, despite the attraction?
What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
Why can't we know both position and momentum of an electron exactly?
Difference between orbit and orbital
Are they the same thing?
Quantum numbers made simple
What do nn, ll, mm, and ss really mean?
Why does the 4s orbital fill before 3d?
Isn't 3d supposed to come first?
Why do we need a mole concept?
Students often confuse mole with just a number. Explain its real significance in chemistry.
How to calculate the number of atoms in a sample?
Given 24 g of carbon, calculate the total number of carbon atoms.
What's the difference between molarity and molality?
Students mix these up due to similar names. Explain clearly with examples.
