An Overview of Ammonia Properties and Uses
Physical and Chemical Properties As a gas, ammonia is lighter than air and has a molar mass of 17.031 g/mol. It is highly soluble in water and can dissolve to form an ammonium hydroxide solution. Ammonia molecules exist as NH3 units, having a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry. Each nitrogen atom is bonded to three hydrogen atoms. The N-H bonds have partial double bond character due to nitrogen's 3s and 3p orbitals overlapping with the 1s hydrogen orbital. This gives ammonia a relatively high boiling point of −33 °C compared to other gases of similar molar mass.

How to Protect Yourself from Radiation Exposure
Radiation Exposure: Sources and Risks Radiation comes from both natural and man-made sources. Naturally occurring radiation comes from radionuclides in the earth and cosmic radiation from outer space. Common natural sources include radon gas, radium in building materials, and potassium-40 in our bodies. Man-made sources include medical imaging like X-rays and CT scans, nuclear power plants, consumer products containing radioactive materials, and residual radiation from nuclear weapons testing and accidents.

Understanding Surge Protection Devices for Home and Business
What are Surge Protection Devices? Surge protection devices (SPDs) are electrical devices that are installed to protect electrical equipment from voltage surges induced by lightning strikes, power outages or downed lines. They work by diverting excess voltage to ground before it can damage sensitive electronic devices.

How Blockchain Is Revolutionizing Finances and Beyond
Blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that records transactions across many computers so that the record cannot be altered retroactively. The technology uses cryptography to allow each participant on the network to verify the integrity and the chronological order of transactions. New transactions are recorded in 'blocks' that are then added to the 'chain' in a linear, chronological order. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without altering all subsequent blocks.

Plant Tissue Culture: Advancing Agricultural Science and Biotechnology
Micro Propagation through Plant Tissue Culture Micro Propagation involves the multiplication of plantlets from small pieces of plants such as seeds, leaves, buds, roots or other plant parts under aseptic conditions. Ideal explants like shoot tips or axillary buds are cultured on nutrient media under controlled temperature and light conditions to induce multiple bud break.
