Nomenclature of Inorganic ChemistryIUPAC Recommendations 2005


This new edition of the 'Red Book' clarifies and updates recommendations concerning the names and formulae of inorganic compounds and reflects major recent developments in inorganic chemistry. Moreover, it presents recommendations fully consistent with the principles of the nomenclature of organic chemistry. In order to choose the most appropriate of the various nomenclature systems described, a flowchart is provided to guide the reader to a section or chapter where rules can be found for a particular type of compound or species. Copious examples are supplemented by an extensive subject index.

An Introduction to Spectroscopy Techniques and Their Applications in Analysis

 Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. It is a technique used to analyze the composition and structure of matter by examining how light or other electromagnetic radiation is absorbed, emitted, or scattered by that matter. A spectrometer is an instrument used to measure spectra. It can split light into its constituent wavelengths and measure the intensity at each wavelength.  A spectrophotometer is a specific type of spectrometer that measures the intensity of light as a function of wavelength. It can be used to measure the absorption, transmission, or reflection of light. A spectroscope is a simple spectrometer used to observe spectral lines and bands. It usually consists of a prism or diffraction grating to disperse light and view a spectrum. A spectrograph is a spectroscope that can record the spectrum onto a photographic plate or detector. It produces a spectral graph or spectrogram. Spectra refers to the characteristi...

Exploring the Wonders of Chemistry in Space

Introduction: Chemistry is the fundamental science that bridges the gap between the basic building blocks of matter and the vast complexities of the universe. When we look beyond our planet and into the intriguing realm of space, we discover a whole new dimension where chemistry plays a crucial role in shaping and understanding the cosmos. From the composition of stars and planets to the formation of complex molecules in interstellar space, the study of chemistry in space unveils a myriad of fascinating phenomena that continue to capture the curiosity of scientists and space enthusiasts alike. Chemistry of the Cosmos: One of the most captivating aspects of chemistry in space is the composition of celestial bodies. Stars, for example, are gigantic fusion reactors where hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing tremendous amounts of energy in the process. This nuclear fusion process not only powers the star but also gives rise to heavier elements through nuclear reactions, u...
