Planets of our Solar System The Earth: The earth is the fifth largest planet of the solar system. The life is possible on the earth because its gravity is sufficient to hold atmosphere and best conditions for sustaining life. It contains a large amount of water in the form of oceans. 71% parts of the total area is covered with water and the remaining 29% is covered with land. The temperature of the centre of the earth is 2000° C. The circumference of the earth is 40‚000 km. The earth completes

A nuclear weapon is commonly defined as a device‚ which uses a nuclear reaction for destructive means. There are six different types of nuclear bombs. The two main types of nuclear weapons: atom bombs and hydrogen bombs. The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful‚ destructive bomb of all. In this essay I’m going to give a brief history of the hydrogen bomb‚ the chemistry behind the bomb‚ and how much destruction the hydrogen bomb can do. After the Soviet Union’s atomic bomb success during the cold war

electrons is closer to one or seven the higher the elements reactivity. Alkali metals contain a single electron in their outer shell which makes them highly reactive and halogens contain only seven electrons in their outer shell. Noble gases‚ such as helium‚ are not reactive because they are chemically stable and will not combine with other elements. H₂S and H₂O are molecules formed from atoms that share similar properties. While the molecular structure of these compounds looks similar they are actually
