Standard Reduction Potential
Standard hydrogen electrode A platinum electrode is inserted in a solution with a concentration of H+ of 1M, and hydrogen gas at 25℃ of 1 atm surrounding the platinum electrode is in equilibrium with H+. At … more
Seismometer and Inertia
Inertia When the bus starts suddenly, the body momentarily leans backward. On the other hand, when the bus stops, the body is leaned forward. This is due to the nature of the object to maintain its … more
Asexual Reproduction and Sexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction Some living things do not make reproductive cells. They make new offspring through cell division. This method of reproduction without male and female reproductive cells is called asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction Many of the … more
Principle of Satellite
How cannonball become an artificial satellite? a. Imagine that a cannonball falls in a parabolic curve. The trajectory the cannonball draws is actually part of an elliptical orbit centered around the Earth. The center of the … more
What if the water molecule have a straight structure?
The structure of the water molecule Water is a representative ‘polar molecule’. The hydrogen-oxygen-hydrogen bonds that make up the water molecule have an angle of 104.5˚ and appear curved. Because of this unbalanced water molecule structure, … more
Polar Molecule & Nonpolar Molecule
Polar molecule Polar molecules have polar covalent bonds between their constituent atoms, and the shape of the molecule is asymmetric. Therefore, the centers of positive and negative charges do not coincide. Just as there are poles … more
Path of Satellite
From the perspective of an observer on Earth, the orbits of satellites with an orbiting period of less than 24 hours appear to move westward little by little with each turn. This phenomenon occurs because of … more
Normal Distribution
There are 10 black stones and 10 white stones in your pocket. What is the distribution of the number of black stones when I take out 10 randomly? Binomial distribution When you take a stone out … more
Nuclear Chain Reaction
Caution This simulation is intended to understand the principle of fission, and the proportions of the model presented may not match the reality. The nucleus was exaggerated and drawed large. The electrons around the nucleus were … more
Molecular Weight Calculator
If you click on the elements in order, the molecular weight that is summed by adding the atomic weight is displayed. For example, if you want to know the molecular weight of water (H2O), click H … more
Lorenz’s Waterwheel
Lorenz’s waterwheel Let’s say you have a waterwheel with a bucket with a small hole in the floor. When water drips from the faucet above, the bucket runs down and spins. Then, let’s predict which direction … more
