Mica is a good conductor of heat but a bad conductor of electricity. The mica group of sheet silicate minerals includes several closely related materials having highly perfect basal cleavage. The highly perfect cleavage, which is the most prominent characteristic of mica is explained by the hexagonal... readmore

Platinum is joined well with the glass. Platinum is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Pt and an atomic number of 78. Its name is derived from the Spanish term platina del Pinto, which is literally translated into “little silver of the Pinto River.” Platinum is used in catalytic... readmore

Amphoteric substance has both acid and base qualities. Ampholytes are amphoteric molecules that contain both acidic and basic groups and will exist mostly as zwitterions in a certain range of pH. The pH at which the average charge is zero is known as the molecule’s isoelectric point. Ampholytes... readmore
