  Isobars and Isotopes

           The composition of any atom can be represented by using the normal element symbol (X) with super-script on the left hand side as the atomic mass number (A) and subscript (Z) on the left hand side as the atomic number .

            Isobars are the atoms with same mass number but different atomic number for example, ¹⁴6C  and ¹⁷7N. On the other hand, atoms

with identical atomic number but different atomic mass number are known as Isotopes. In other words, it is evident that difference between the isotopes is due to the presence of different number of neutrons present in the nucleus. For example, considering of hydrogen atom again, 99.985% of hydrogen atoms contain only one proton. This isotope is called protium (¹1H). Rest of the percentage of hydrogen atom contains two other isotopes, the one containing 1 proton and 1 neutron is called deuterium (²1D, 0.015%) and the other one possessing 1 proton and 2 neutrons is called tritium (³1T ). The latter isotope is found in trace amounts on the earth. Other examples of commonly occuring isotopes are: carbon atoms containing 6, 7 and 8 neutrons besides 6 protons (¹²6C, ¹³6C, ¹⁴6C ); chlorine atoms containing 18 and 20 neutrons besides 17 protons (³⁵17Cl,³⁷17Cl). 

            Lastly an important point to mention regarding isotopes is that chemical properties of atoms are controlled by the number of electrons, which are determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Number of neutrons present in the nucleus have very little effect on the chemical properties of an element. Therefore, all the isotopes of a given element show same chemical behaviour.

  MongoDB illegal instruction (core dumped) issue ! How to install  Mongodb v4.4  ?  What is core-dump ?  Today,             I'm gonna talk about what is core dump   and  how to solve MongoDB illegal instruction (core dumped) issue ,  For that watch this Video ( Language Hindi ) What is   illegal instruction core dumped ? = >  Accessing memory that "does not belong to you" causes a Core Dump/Segmentation fault. A core dump occurs when a piece of code attempts to read and write in a read-only memory location or a freed memory block. It's an error that means there's a problem with the memory. The following are examples of common segmentation errors: Changing the literal value of a string: Because the line *(str+1)= ‘n' tries to write a read-only memory, the following programme may crash (give a segmentation fault error).

Excange Regulations of Malaysia

-
  Excange Regulations of Malaysia            The Exchange rate policy is an important component in the Malaysian FDI promoting framework and in general economic policy. In recent years, Malaysia has substantially opened-up its foreign exchange regime and can now be considered fairly liberal. Bank Negara does not officially peg the Ringgit to certain currencies and the currency floats. However, the bank does intervene in the foreign exchange market in order to avoid rapid fluctuations in coherence with its policy to maintain a stable value of the Ringgit. This is achieved by comparing the market value to an unknown trade-weighted basket of currencies (Bureau Of Economic Analysis 1993: 2). Bank Negara has been accused of depreciating the value of the Ringgit in order to promote exports. For instance, in 1993, the bank bought large amounts of US dollars causing the Ringit to depreciate (Cooke 1994: 3). As a result, in 1993 alone, the national bank declare...

Parts Of A Computer  and their functions A computer system is made up of hardware and software. Hardware means the physical parts of the computer and software Shears the computer programs that are run on the computer.  The hardware of a computer is classified into three categories -- 1. Input Device  2. Processing Unit, and  3. Output Devices  INPUT DEVICES  : 1. KEYBOARD  The keyboard resembles a typewriter. But there are addmonal keys that handie control functions. The computer keyboard has three categories of keys—~  Alphanumeric keys  Special Keys  Function Keys The Alphanumeric Keys: The Alphanumeric Keys comprise alphabets (A-Z or a-z) ,Numbers (0-9) and other characters like space.  .  /  > < ' " ;  :  ~ @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + | \ { } [ ] .  The Special Keys : The Special Keys perform specific tasks.

Who discovered proton and neutron ? How to discovered proton and neutron ? What is canal ray? What is anode ray ? | Inorganic chemistry | chemistry.

-
              Inorganic Chemistry |Chemistry   Discovery of Protons and Neutrons           Electrical discharge carried out in the modified cathode ray tube led to the discovery of canal rays and anode rays carrying positively charged particles. The characteristics of these positively charged particles are listed below.      (i) Unlike cathode rays, mass of positively charged particles depends upon the nature of gas present in the cathode ray tube. These are simply the positively charged gaseous ions.       (ii) The charge to mass ratio of the particles depends on the gas from which these originate.       (iii) Some of the positively charged particles carry a multiple of the fundamental unit of electrical charge.      (iv) The behaviour of these particles in the magnetic or electrical field is opposite to that observed for electron or cathode rays. ...
