Base (Chemistry) Equals Hydrodynamics

Base (Chemistry) Equals HydrodynamicsEveryone is familiar with the popular saying 'base (chemistry) equals hydrodynamics.' But few of us have thought about what it means. Base is also known as alkali, base or alkaline, and it is a basic element, a constituent in many chemical reactions.Some bass are more soluble than others, and most are found in nature, not usually in very large amounts. Although a few substances like sodium are naturally found in trace amounts, they don't usually cause problems. One exception is mercury, which has a very different chemical makeup than most other metals.Base can also be corrosive, and some commonly used chemicals are not as stable as they appear. You can find some bases that are soluble in water and may add a little bit of clarity to our lives, but there are also bases that will dissolve in water completely. We shouldn't underestimate the corrosiveness of many commercial products.But what does base actually do? To answer this question we need to kno w about what the word 'base' actually means. Atoms can exist as both ionic and covalent forms, so they may take the same electron to make both ions and electrons in various reactions.In a covalent form, an atom's electron is attached to both an additional electron and an ion. An ion is a charge-free positively charged molecule, with one or more electrons. This gives a molecule 'an electrical charge' that is measurable, and that makes them useful for certain applications. One of these applications is as a signaling chemical, because of its use as a radio signaler.The more stable in a covalent state, the more stable an atom is when in the same chemical equilibrium as the other elements in the periodic table.A covalent is always going to be slightly less volatile than the other elements, because it cannot participate in the reaction itself. The difference between ionic and covalent forms of an atom is called the Lewis number, and it's used in calculating the reactivity of a system.In a n ionic form, there is no interaction between the atoms, so the reactivity is calculated differently. A balanced system is more reactive with a covalent atom compared to an ionic one, because an ionic system is somewhat more inert and does not participate in the chemical reactions.
