Normally I do not have trouble with this chapter but a classification question in our last test has made me doubt myself. The question was: 'Which of the following is a homogeneous mixture?' with options air, brass, suga
Playing football in the evening and thinking about s-block in the shower is not a great combo but here I am. Something doesn't add up for me in alkali metal trends. Ionisation enthalpy goes down the group: Li 520, Na 496
I'm making my third checklist for Cell: The Unit of Life and the opening pages are all names and numbers, which is just the kind of thing I fear forgetting. Cell theory: Schleiden botanist and Schwann zoologist said all
Football match tomorrow so I'm revising in the break and trying to keep it simple. Body Fluids and Circulation, the middle topics: 1. NCERT says that as blood passes through capillaries, some water and small water-solubl
Between football practice and guitar I got through the intermolecular forces section of States of Matter and there are two things I can't settle. First, boiling points of noble gases go up as we go down the group, helium
I'm in class 11 and day 2 of The Living World already has me frowning. Football practice taught me that a thing that is alive grows and plays, so I'm not buying some of this. NCERT lists the features of living organisms

Three doubts from the same chapter and my notes are inconsistent. 1. A body at 27°C is heated to 327°C. By what factor does the power it radiates Stefan's law increase? I did 327/27 ^4 \approx 21{,}000 and it's nowhere i
I colour coded the secondary growth section blue for xylem, pink for phloem, green for cambium and now I realised the colour code is useless because I'm not sure what some of the terms even mean. 1. Periderm = cork cambi
ok so I'm making a checklist for the Organic Basic Principles chapter and I got stuck on page one, which is embarrassing. Carbon's ground state is 1s^2\,2s^2\,2p^2 , so only two unpaired electrons. Then why is it tetrava
I made a colour-coded table for enzyme inhibition green for competitive, orange for the other one and I still get the Km/Vmax part wrong every single time. What I understood from NCERT: the enzyme has an active site, the
Started the Units and Measurements chapter and, being me, I made a checklist. NCERT says there are 7 base quantities in SI: length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance and luminou
