ABOUT CORROSION

CORROSION




It is defined as the chemical or electrochemical attack of metals by the environment.

the effects of corrosion by these factors;


  • humidity
  • temperature
  • purity of  metal
  • the physical state of metal
  • nature of ions present in it
  • PH
  • position in electrochemical series
  • relative areas of anode and cathode

electrochemical theory of corrosion;


this theory depends on its electrode potential of metal(anode).if a high electrode metal comes in contact with the low electrode(cathode) potential metal causes the galvanic cell setup.

note: the large corrosion occurs at anodic metal.

the galvanic cells are three types:


composition cell;

in this, both the zinc and copper electrodes are dipped in the same electrolysis solution. 
here the zinc is act as anode and the copper is act as like cathode.the electrons are transferred from anode to cathode.here the anode gets corroded.

stress cell;

These types of cells formed by the drawing, rolling, welding, heat treatment of metals.
stressed areas at the metal act as like an anode causes corrosion.

concentration cell;

this type of cells formed the differential oxygen concentration.poor oxygenated parts act like anodes and causes the corrosion.

RUSTING OF IRON:


  • (Fe2O3xH2O)
  • corrosion of iron is called rusting.

prevention methods for avoiding:

  • using metal high purity
  • alloying
  • protective coating by the metallic or non-metallic or organic.

THE BLACK HOLE

  A region is an object with such powerful gravity that nothing can shake it, including light. The black hole's mass is concentrated during a point of just about infinite density. this is nothing but singularity. At the singularity, gravity is almost infinitely strong. it crushes normal space-time out of existence. As the distance from the singularity increases, its gravitational influence reduce. At a particular distance, which depends on the singularity's mass, the speed needed to flee from the region equals the speed of sunshine. This distance marks the black hole 'horizon', which is like its surface. Anything that passes through the surface is trapped inside the black hole. Black holes are available several varieties, counting on mass. black holes are formed due to the collapse of large stars at the end of their life cycle. Does OUR SUN BECOME A BLACK HOLE? no, why means read the following data carefully. Our Sun is really too small to finish up as a region. ...

THE HYBRIDISATION OF ORBITALS

HYBRIDISATION: it is a phenomenon, mixing up of two or more atomic orbitals of different energies and form an identical hybrid orbital. SP3 HYBRIDISATION: the shape of this molecule is tetrahydral shape. the bond angle is 109.28' this is formed by the combination of one S and 3P orbitals. four SP3 hybrid orbitals are formed. SP2 HYBRIDISATION: the shape of the molecule is planer triangular. the bond angle is 120°. this is formed by the combination of one S and 2P orbitals. three SP2 hybrid orbitals are formed. SP HYBRIDISATION: the shape of the molecule is linear. the bond angle is 180°. this is formed by the combination of S and P orbitals. two SP hybrid orbitals are formed.
