FIRST FIVE ELEMENTS We all are aware or might have heard about the names of 118 elements and the periodic table. We might know the positions of the elements in the periodic table but do we know some of the properties of these elements. Here I have tried to give you some of the properties of first five elements of the periodic table. They are as follows- 1) HYDROGEN LATIN NUMBER- HYDROGENIUM ENGLISH NAME- HYDROGEN YEAR DISCOVERED- 1766 DISCOVERED BY- HENRY CAVENDISH NUMBER OF ELECTRON- 1 NUMBER OF PROTONS- 1 NUMBER OF ELECTRON S- 0 Hydrogen is a chemical element of symbol- 'H' and has atomic number of 1. The atomic weight of hydrogen is 1.00794u, Hydrogen is the lightest element of the periodic table. It is the most abundant element in the universe. It is a monoatomic element. 2) HELIUM LATIN NUMBER-  HELIUM ENGLISH NAME-  HELIUM YEAR DISCOVERED-  1895 DISCOVERED BY-  Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen, Joseph Norman Lockyer NUMBER OF ELECTRON-  2 NUMBER OF PROTONS-...

RELATION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND PLUTO!!

Image
We all know the country RUSSIA. It is located in eastern Europe and Asia. It covers 17,075,200 sq. km which is equivalent to one-eighth of the Earth's surface. It is the largest country by area and is a home to 145 million people. But do you know the relation between Russia and our planet's friend PLUTO?          As you all know, Pluto is a dwarf planet in our solar system and occupies and occupies ninth position. It is an icy planet which was discovered in the year 1930. It is the largest dwarf planet known. NOW HERE COMES THE INTERESTING THING- As already specified above the surface area of Russia is- 17.10 million sq.km and therefore the largest country beating Canada with surface area of 9.985 million sq.km. the surface area of Russia is way more larger than the surface area of Pluto. The surface area of Pluto is only  16.65 million sq.km. as compared to Russia(17.10 million sq.km.). SEE ALSO- ASIAN COUNTRIES AND THEIR FLAGS, CURRENCIES AND CAPITALS-...

EIFFEL TOWER- POWER OF TRIANGLES

Image
 In this blog, you can learn how architects use mathematics, geometry, other math principles like surface area(might be your favourite), volume, ratios. GEOMETRY is used everywhere in the world. It can be found from artworks to mobiles, laptops and to the large structures, monuments and buildings. Shapes are the building blocks in architecture. Below are some examples of Mathematics being used in constructing the world!!   LETS START- EIFFEL TOWER(The Triangular Structure) PARIS, FRANCE TRIANGLES are the strongest shapes when it comes to building large structures. The triangles are the strongest shapes because of their ability to hold large strength without snapping. If all the three sides of triangle are made equal, then it will be able to distribute the whole weight equally in a large structure.   The tower is 1063 feet(30,000cm) tall and its construction cost 7,799,401 French Gold Francs(10 crores) in 1889.  We know the history of the tower that EIFFEL TOWE...

Our eye is the most important organ gifted to us by god. Eye is a delicate organ which once destroyed cannot be cured. It helps us to see the beautiful and bright world around us. But ever wondered how the eye works? What are the tissues and cells that makes up an eye? The first thing to know is that, the main parts of eyes are- Cornea, Iris, Ciliary Muscles, Eye lens, Retina and Optic Nerve. It is spherical in shape with a diameter of 2.3cm CONSTRUCTION OF EYES The front part of the eye is called cornea . It is made up of a transparent substance and it bulges outwards. The light coming from the objects enters the eyes through cornea. Behind the cornea is the iris . Iris is a flat, coloured, ring-shaped membrane behind the cornea of the eye. There is a hole in the middle of the iris which is called Pupil of the eye. Thus, we can say thet pupil is a hole in the middle of the iris. The pupil appears BLACK  because no light is reflected from it. Then comes the eye lens. It is a convex...
