In the atom bomb, isotopes of uranium are disintegrated with the release of a large amount of energy. Hence, the process is nuclear fission.
The stability of the ions is determined by the energy of the lone pairs. Carbon has the least effective nuclear charge (Zeff) and so the lone pair on the CH3? ion has the highest energy, making it the least stable ion and so the strongest base. The Zeff increases as we move across the period until we get to fluorine which has the greatest Zeff and so its lone pairs have the lowest energy, making F? the least basic ion.
In order of decreasing basicity they are ranked LiCH3 > LiNH2 > LiOH > LiF. We are dealing with the ions F?, OH?, NH2? and CH3? and so the factor which influences their basicity is the stability of the ion compared to its conjugate acid.
If air contained all oxygen and no nitrogen, everything would have burnt off
Water containing caustic soda cannot be used for drinking
The paste applied to the side of a match box is a mixture of phosphorus trisulphide, glass powder (or sand) to cause friction and glue (binding material)
Passivity of iron is due to formation of an extremely thin and impervious film of ferrosoferric oxide on the surface of iron. Chromic acid, being a powerful oxidising agent (like nitric acid ) renders iron passive.
