Chemical reactions and equations- 10 th  CBSE- Physical science   The chapter on chemical reactions and equations seeks to familiarize students with the various chemical transformations that occur in the natural world. These reactions include diverse phenomena such as food digestion, photosynthesis, or the rusting of iron. Understanding these chemical processes occurring in their surroundings sparks curiosity about chemistry, prompting students to delve into the intricacies ( complexities) of balanced chemical equations that depict them. What is a chemical reaction? A chemical reaction refers to a transformation in which reactants combine under specific conditions of temperature and pressure, with or without the presence of catalysts, resulting in the creation of products. During a chemical reaction, the bonds between the reactant molecules are disrupted, leading to the formation of new bonds within the resulting product molecule. When a chemical reaction takes place,...

Bioinorganic Chemistry of Magnesium Magnesium is an indispensable element that plays a crucial role in various physiological and biochemical processes within living organisms. It is essential for vital cellular functions including intermediary metabolism, DNA replication and repair, RNA transcription and protein translation, as well as potassium and calcium ion transport, cell proliferation, and signal transduction. Magnesium is also involved in chlorophyll synthesis, photoassimilate production, transportation, and utilization, enzyme activation, and protein synthesis. The human body typically contains 21-28 grams of magnesium, which is vital for the proper functioning of all biological processes. Deficiency of magnesium can lead to various health disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal tract issues, DNA mutations, and diabetes mellitus. In our latest blog article, we delve into the bioinorganic chemistry of magnesium, offering a comprehensive exploration of the r...
