SUPERMOOOOONA supermoon, is the coincidence of a full moon(or a new moon) with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, or perigee, leading to the technical name for a supermoon of the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. However, the evidence of such a link is widely held to be unconvincing

Friends, here's a nice maths trick usually called ANGEL NUMBER 421( the smallest prime formed by two powers in logical order from right to left ). In this trick, while doing calculations we'll get 4 2 1 at the last and will continue to get that only.For that, follow rules:1) Select any whole number.2) If it is an even number, divide it by 2 ; if it is odd number, multiply it by 3 and then add 1.3) Repeat the steps followed in step 2 until you get the loop value 4,2,1 in repitition.For an instance, let's take the whole number 20Since 20 is an even number, so 20/2 = 10 10 is an even number, so 10/2 = 5 &

Friedlaender Synthesis: The starting materials for this quinoline synthesis are o-aminoaryl aldehydes or ketones and a ketone possessing an α-methylene group. After an initial amino-ketone condensation, the intermediate undergoes base- or acid-catalyzed cyclocondensation to produce a quinoline derivative. Mechanism of the Friedlaender Synthesis:

Have you thought about the fire that you light? Is it you who make the trees that fuel it grow or are We the Grower? We have made it to be a reminder and a comfort for travellers in the wild. So glorify the name of your Lord, the Magnificent!One of the chemical substances mainly responsible for the structure of wood is “lignocellulose.” This substance is a compound of the materials known as “lignin” and “cellulose” that give wood its hardness. In terms of chemicalstructure, wood is made up of 50% cellulose, 25% hemicelluloses and 25% lignin. An analysis of these substances’ chemical formulae reveals three vit

The Manhattan ProjectAt Princeton, the physicist Robert R. Wilson encouraged Feynman to participate in the Manhattan Project—the wartime U.S. Army project at Los Alamos developing the atomic bomb. Feynman said he was persuaded to join this effort to build it before Nazi Germany developed their own bomb.He was assigned to Hans Bethe’s theoretical division, and impressed Bethe enough to be made a group leader. He and Bethe developed the Bethe–Feynman formula for calculating the yield of a fission bomb, which built upon previous work by Robert Serber.He immersed himself in work on the project, and was present at the Trinity bomb test. Feynman claimed

As always, VEDIC MATHS TRICKS are always the best. This VEDIC MATHS TRICK will let you do calculations within a few seconds. This is the trick exclusively applicable to the multiplications of TWO numbers, whose digits at units place add up to 10 as well as whose digit at tenth's place is same. ( Both these conditions must be satisfied.)For an example, let's take two numbers 83 and 87 ( note that both the above conditions are satisfied, that is, digit at tenth's place is same and at the units place add upto 10 )Now, follow the steps.........1) Firstly, find the product of digits at unit's place, that is, 3*7 = 212) Secondly, multiply tenth&

Numerical Approximations – The good, bad and the ugly – In this article, I will discuss about the application of Numerical Approximations as in XIth and XIIth class Standard level. I will discuss what a numerical approximation is, how it should be applied and how its application may come out to be good, bad or ugly. Please note that the below definitions/applications are not standards and I have tried to express the same based on my perception and experience. I will try to pull some examples from Chemistry where the concept can be applied. So, here we go –What is a Numerical Approximation ?It is a way to solve a numerical equation easily
