Welcome to the chemistry thread created mainly to assist and prepare the students of chemistry for their upcoming jamb exam.

The syllabus which comprises the topics students will be tested on during the exam will be posted here.
This syllabus will be sequentially adhered to by the students and the tutors.

HOW THE CLASS WILL FUNCTION

tutors are to inform students before-hand about the particular topic that will be taught on a particular day.
So students read up on that topic before lecture, gathering all the problems they encounter while studying the topic.

So basically, when it's time for lecture, the tutor does a quick summary of the topic, touching key areas.(as brief as possible).
Then if the problems gathered by any student while studying was not solved by the tutor's summary of the whole thing, the problems and questions should then be tendered to the tutor. (as many as possible questions)

I have a question ooo, what is ISOTOPY?

boss, isotopy is the natural phenomenon whereby atoms of an element have the same atomic number but different mass number.
The difference in mass number is because of the different number of neutrons in the neucleus of the atoms.

E.g Chlorine, cl, has two sets of isotopes. I.e two sets of atoms with different mass numbers.

Chlorine isotopes are
Cl₁₇³⁵ and Cl₁₇³⁷

the different in mass numbers can be seen in the superscripts.

thanks for doing justice to my question...

What are the isotopes of hydrogen?

Name them..

Name them..

protium, deuterium and tritium.


Protium = 0 neutron + 1 proton

deuterium = 1 neutron + 1 proton

tritium = 2 neutron + 1 proton

Geofavor:
protium, deuterium and tritium.

lol. I know you were just testing me.
I'm gonna create a physics thread, pls can you handle it?

Stay tuned. It will be taught when it's time.

Following and I'll like to be part of d tutors

Following . But pls dont abandon the thread

Lol. Like the previous one, right?

Don't worry, i'll put in efforts to make sure this one thrives till the end.

lol. So why were you catwalking?

Geofavor:

lol. So why were you catwalking?

The point that i 'catwalked' is none of your biz. I may decide to "dogwalk", 'sheepwalk','horsewalk' even lionwalk. Do you have a problem with That....huhh!
