Is there something smaller than the subatomic particles we know ?

We all know that matter is made up of atoms which is made up of even more tiny particles called electron ,protons and neutrons. Are there anymore tiny particles than that ?? well lets see
There are particles inside the electron and the protons there are two types Lepton and Quarks
. Each have six different types of particles.
Leptons are present in electrons and have 3 generation of particles they are electronic leptons, muonic leptons and taunic leptons each have 2 types
  • Electronic leptons contain electron and electron nuetrino (They are called as nuetrino because they are lightly nuetral)
  • Muonic leptons contain muo and muo nuetrino
  • Tuanic leptons contain tua and tua nuetrino
Quarks are present in protons and nuetrons and they have 6 types :
  • Up quark and Down quark
  • Top quark and Bottom quark
  • Charm quark and strange quark
Up quark and Down quark are mostly usual in protons and neutron because they are most stable the others are only produced only when the Quarks are charged.

Vegetable Battery

Image
The energy for the battery comes from the chemical change in the zinc (or other metal) when it dissolves into the acid. The energy does not come from the lemon or potato. The zinc is oxidized inside the lemon, exchanging some of its electrons with the acid in order to reach a lower energy state, and the energy released provides the power. In current practice, zinc is produced by electrowinning of zinc sulfate reduction of zinc with carbon, which requires an energy input. The energy produced in the lemon battery comes from reversing this reaction, recovering some of the energy input during the zinc production.

Cell Cycle part 2

Image
Now the cell should have double the amount DNA after interphase. The next phase is m-phase. The m-phase consists of mitosis (separation of 1 cell nucleus to 2 nuclei) and cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division or whole cell division). There are 4 steps in mitosis. To help understand this concept, I will explain the structure of a chromosome. A chromosome is formed during mitosis to help in nuclear division. A chromosome has two sides, each side is a copy of the other(interphase), therefore, each side separates into its own nucleus so the new cell has an exact copy of the parent cell's DNA. The first phase is called prophase. During prophase, the chromosomes become visible from chromatin and the nucleolus disappears. The next phase is called metaphase. Here, the chromosomes line up in the center and fibers called spindle fiber attach to the chromosomes centromere from both sides. The next step, anaphase, the spindle fibers pull on the chromosomes where each copy is separated to either s

How does graphite conduct electricity ?

Image
Graphite can conduct electricity due to the vast electron delocalization ( delocalized electrons are electrons in a molecule, ion or solid metal that are not associated with a single atom or one covalent bond)  within the carbon layers (a phenomenon called aromaticity ). These valence electrons are free to move, so are able to conduct electricity. However, the electricity is primarily conducted within the plane of the layers. The conductive properties of powdered graphite allowed its use as a semiconductor substitute in early carbon microphones.
