What is the origin of tooth enamel?
Verify mobile number to view the solution
Enamel is formed by epithelial cells called ameloblasts. Just before a tooth erupts from the gums, the ameloblasts are broken down, removing enamel's ability to regenerate or repair itself.
Which of the following is responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer in the upper strata of the atmosphere?
Fluorocarbons such as freon-1 (CFCl3) and freon-12 (CF2Cl2) emitted as propellants in aerosol spray cans, refrigerators, fire fighting reagents, etc. are stable compounds and chemically inert. They do not react with any substance with which they come in contact and thus float through the atmosphere unchanged and eventually enter the stratosphere. There they absorb UV radiations and break down liberating free atomic chlorine which causes decomposition of ozone. This results in the depletion of the ozone layer.
The oxidation number of oxygen is positive in
Fluorine is the most electronegative element (electronegativity of on Pauling scale) will in any case (except in fluorine gas) have an oxidation state of -1. So that's the reason why oxygen has a +2 oxidation state in OF2.
When two ice cubes are pressed over each other, they unite to form one cube. Which of the following forces is responsible to hold them together?
When two ice cubes are pressed over each other, they unite to form one cube, Hydrogen bonding is responsible for it.
A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force (IMF) that forms a special type of dipole-dipole attraction when a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom exists in the vicinity of another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons. Intermolecular forces (IMFs) occur between molecules. Other examples include ordinary dipole-dipole interactions and dispersion forces. Hydrogen bonds are generally stronger than ordinary dipole-dipole and dispersion forces, but weaker than true covalent and ionic bonds.
A rectangular coil of one turn and size 1 m × 0.5 m is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field of 1 T. If the field drops to 0.5 T, find the change in magnetic flux generated in the rectangular coil.
A weightless bag is filled with 5 kg of water and then weighed in water. The reading of spring balance is:
Since the weight of the bag with water is equal to the weight of the water displaced, the spring balance reading is zero.
The spring balance is a type of balance (scales). It consists of a spring, one end of which is fixed and the other end is hung by a hook, whose weight is to be determined. It works on Hooke's law.
A pure inductor of 25.0mH is connected to a source of 220 V. Find the inductive reactance and rms current in the circuit if the frequency of the source is 50Hz.
In the following reaction
Which two substances are Bronsted base?
.
In an ammeter 10% of the main current is passing through the Galvanometer. If the resistance of the Galvanometer is G, then the shunt resistance, in ohms, is
Name the outermost boundary of the cell?
Plasma Membrane is the outermost boundary of the cell. It is also known as the cell membrane. It is the membrane found in all cells that separate the interior of the cell from the outside environment. A cell wall is attached to the plasma membrane on its outside surface in bacterial and plant cells.
