"Qurbat bhi nahi dil se otar bhi nahi jata" by" Ahmed Faraz"

2020-05-09T21:14:00.000+05:00

قربت بھی نہیں دل سے اتر بھی ‬نہیں جاتا

Qurbat bhi nahi dil se otar bhi nahi jata
wo shaksh koi fesla kar bhi nahi jata

قربت بھی نہیں دل سے اتر بھی نہیں جاتا

وہ شخص کوئی فیصلہ کر بھی نہیں جاتا

Ankhain hain k khali nahi rehti lahoo se
Or zakhm judai hai k bhar bhi nahi jata

آنکھیں ہیں کہ خالی نہیں رہتی ہیں لہو سے

اور زخم جدائی ہے کہ بھر بھی نہیں جاتا

Wo rahat-e-jaan hai magar es darbadari me
esa hai k ab dehan odher bhi nahi jata

وہ راحت جاں ہے مگر اس در بدری میں

ایسا ہے کہ اب دھیان ادھر بھی نہیں جاتا

Hum dohari aaziat k griftaa musaafir
paon bhi shall shoaq-e-safar bhi nahi jata

ہم دوہری اذیت کے گرفتار مسافر

پاؤں بھی ہیں شل شوق سفر بھی نہیں جاتا

Dil ko teri chahat pe bhrosa bhi bohat hai
or tujh se bichar jane ka dar bhi nahi jata

دل کو تری چاہت پہ بھروسہ بھی بہت ہے

اور تجھ سے بچھڑ جانے کا ڈر بھی نہیں جاتا

Pagal hue jate ho Faraz os se mile kiaa
itni si khushi se koi mar bhi nahi jata

~~پاگل ہوئے جاتے ہو فرازؔ اس سے ملے کیا~~

~~اتنی سی خوشی سے کوئی مر بھی نہیں جاتا~~

Branches of Chemistry: Physical, Analytical, Organic, Inorganic and Bio-Chemistry

2020-05-06T22:45:00.002+05:00

Branches of Chemistry

Chemistry is a branch of science which deals with the study of matter composed of atoms and molecules, investigation of their properties, composition, structure, behavior and interactions among the constituents of matter.

In last topic we have learned about the basics of chemistry that how chemistry is involved in every field of life. We also learned that how chemistry is interdisciplinary i.e. its relation to other sciences.

Chemistry involve in daily life

Chemistry is involved in our daily life practice in many aspects; production of food from farms to cooking them in a kitchen, from mobile to laptop, from bicycle to space rocket.

Iron and steel is used in the construction of our homes and other buildings, polymer is used in Plastic bags, Plastic bottles, Hydrocarbons (fuel), In mobile phone, Rechargeable batteries and Hybrid cars, Cosmetics, LED’s, capacitors, Nano tubes and sheets, Microwaves, Detergents, Photosynthesis, Clothes, Dyes and Paints etc. are some examples from our daily life where chemistry is applied.

Chemistry helps us to understand not only the planet earth but to the whole universe. In this topic we will learned about the Branches of Chemistry.

Branches of Chemistry

Chemistry has become very diverse subject with large number of branches. There are two main categories of chemistry, first one is Organic chemistry and Inorganic chemistry while second category is physical chemistry and Analytical chemistry.

There are large number of branches, but I will discuss five major branches of chemistry in this article.

Major branches of Chemistry

The five main branches of chemistry are Inorganic chemistry, Organic chemistry, Physical chemistry, Analytical chemistry and Biochemistry.

Physical Chemistry

Physical chemistry is the study of how matter behaves at atomic and molecular level and how chemical reactions occur. As the name indicates that Physical Chemistry is the combination of Physics and Chemistry.

It is a sub-branch of science which investigate macroscopic features such as Pressure, Volume, Density, Viscosity etc. atomic properties like electro-negativity, valency, Ionization energy and atomic radius. It also deals with the structure of matter and energy

unlike, other branches it deals with the principles of physics underlying all chemical interactions, seeking to measure, correlate and explain the quantitative aspects of reactions.

Some of the main areas or sub disciplines of physical chemistry are mentioned below:

1. Chemical Kinetics: It is the study of rate of chemical reactions.

2. Thermochemistry: It deals with the heat change during chemical reaction.

3. Surface chemistry: It deals with the chemical processes occurring at inter-phase of two surfaces, particularly between liquid and gas phase is known as surface chemistry.

Surfaces play an active role in catalysis, colloid formation, electrode reactions, chromatography etc.

4. Photo chemistry: It is study of chemical reactions which take place in the presence of light.

5. Spectroscopy: It concerns with electromagnetic radiations and how they interact with atoms and molecules.

6. Quantum Chemistry: It is an application of Quantum Mechanics to the chemical system.

7. Electrochemistry: It is a branch of physical chemistry which deals with chemical changes involving the movement of electrons between the electrodes.

8. Femtochemistry: It is the study of chemical reactions in femto-scale (10⁻¹⁵seconds). It helps to understand the movement of molecules.

Analytical Chemistry

It is a branch of Chemistry that deals with separation, identification and quantification of chemical compound. Basically, it deals with analysis of chemicals. It has numerous applications in chemical industries to maintain the quality of final product.

In separation, we separate the constituents from the mixture. After isolating the constituents of desired sample are identified by qualitative analysis. And finally, the concentration of analyte is estimated by quantitative analysis.

There are two types of Chemical analyses qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis.

Qualitative analysis: is used for the identification of chemical component in a sample.

Quantitative analysis: is used to determine the amount of certain component in a sample.

Some of the common analysis methods are as follows

1. Flame tests: The test involves subjecting a given sample to the flame (reducing or oxidizing) and then observing the color of the flame. The color of the flame gives us an idea of a constituent present in the sample.

2. Chemical tests: It is used to identify functional groups in a given sample by conducting a series of chemical reaction on the sample.

3. Titrations (or Volumetric analysis): A titration is a technique in which a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of unknown solution.

It involves the addition of a known titrant typically added from the burette to known quantity of analyte (known solution) until the equivalence point is reached and reaction is completed.

4. Gravimetry: Gravimetric analysis is a quantitative technique that is used to estimate the amount of analyte (the ion being analyzed) can be determined through the measurement of mass.

5. Chromatography: It is a separation technique that consists of mobile phase (a fluid carrying a given sample) which flows on the stationary phase.

Based on the affinity of the mobile phase ingredient towards the stationary phase, the retention of ingredients on the stationary phase takes place.

6. Spectroscopy: It is the study of how electromagnetic radiations interact with matter.

7. Electrochemical analysis: It is a method of analysis in which the analyte is studied by passing electricity and measuring voltage and current over time.

8. Electrophoresis: It is a separation method in which dispersed particles are separated under the influence of an electric field.

Inorganic Chemistry

It is a branch of Chemistry which deals with the study of inorganic compounds. Inorganic compounds are compounds which do not contain carbon-hydrogen bond.

Inorganic compounds largely found beneath the earth surface in rocks and minerals, and other are produced in chemical industries. Inorganic chemicals have applications in pigment, paint, coating, disinfectant, fertilizer, surfactant and solar power.

The largest inorganic chemicals produced in the world are sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen, ammonia, chlorine, nitrogen, phosphorus pentaoxide and sodium hydroxide.

Some of the major fields of Inorganic chemistry are as follows:

1. Coordination Chemistry: It involves in the study of coordination complexes. It is a study of compound having central atom surrounded by anions known as ligands.

The ligands are attached to central atom through dative bond, known as Coordinate bonds, in which both electrons in the bonds are supplied by the same atom on the ligand.

2. Organometallic Chemistry: It is the study of organometallic compounds which consist of compounds having a metal-carbon-hydrogen bond (organometallic bond). This field is included in both organic as well as inorganic chemistry.

3. Bioinorganic Chemistry: This covers the interaction of inorganic species like metals in cells and tissues.

4. Solid-State Chemistry (or Material Chemistry): It is the study of properties, structures of solid-state phase. It is a part of Solid-State Physics.

Organic Chemistry

It is a branch of Chemistry that deals with the study of organic compounds. organic compounds are compounds which contain carbon-hydrogen bond. Carbon is capable of forming long C-C chains (called catenation). Due to this property of carbon, it forms large number of compounds.

Other than carbon and hydrogen, the elements widely found in organic compounds are oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, and halogens (fluorine, chlorine and iodine). Organic compounds are used in agriculture, insecticide, food, medicine, polymer, fuel, textile, rubber, and pharmaceutical industries.

Some of the industrial important organic chemicals are methane, ethylene, propylene, 1,2-dichloroethylene, toluene, acetic-anhydride, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, butane, acetylene, urea, polystyrene, acetone, acetic acid, phenol, aniline, glycerol, glucose, fructose, starch etc.

Important areas in Organic Chemistry are mentioned below.

1. Polymer Chemistry: It deals with the synthesis and properties of polymers.

2. Organometallics Chemistry: It is the study of organometallic compounds which consist of compounds having a metal-carbon-hydrogen bond (organometallic bond). This field is included in both organic as well as inorganic chemistry.

3. Stereo-chemistry: It is a chemistry that studies stereo-isomers. It focuses on the spatial arrangement of atoms.

4. Medicinal Chemistry: It involves the application of chemistry for medicine and drug development.

5. Bio-organic Chemistry: It is the combination of Organic and Biochemistry.

Bio-Chemistry

Biochemistry is the field of science that emphases on the study of chemical processes inside the biological system. Biochemistry is a new field compare to the above branches of chemistry.

Biochemistry focuses on the uses of chemistry to better understand biological systems like respiration, digestion, cellular metabolism etc. Biochemists work on diseases like cancer to develop better treatment; they also study molecular genetics to improve genes.

The important areas of study in Biochemistry are as follows:

1. Molecular Genetic: It involves the studies of genes. It is closely related to genetic engineering.

2. Agricultural Biochemistry: It focuses on the implementation of biochemistry to improve agriculture production.

3. Molecular Biochemistry: It deals with the study of macro molecules like proteins, membranes, enzymes, nucleic acids, amino acids, viruses etc.

4. Immunochemistry: It is a branch of biochemistry that concerned with chemical reaction associated with the immune system.

"Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep" by Mary Elizabeth Frye

2020-05-03T21:30:00.001+05:00

"Do Not Stand at My Grave"

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, i do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the field of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the star shine of the night.
I am in the flower that bloom,
I am in the quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there. I do not die.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC: How corona virus attacks humans Heart, Brain,Veins as well as Kidneys and Lungs

2020-05-03T00:01:00.000+05:00

HOW CORONA VIRUS ATTACKS ON HUMAN BODY? HOW IT IS TREATED?

Corona virus is not a deadly disease said by most of the people. But due to this contiguous disease death rate reaches to the limit of 243,367 till to date 02 May,2020.

There are currently 3,459,006 confirmed cases in 212 countries and regions, death rates are still being assessed.

So, how it attacks human body? How and why more of people are killed and how it is treated? It can be cured by taking prevention measures.

How corona virus enters in your body?

Corona virus is officially called as SARS-CoV-2. Virus invade in your body when you breath it in or when you touch contaminated surface and then touch your mouth, nose or eyes or illness starts if droplets from infected person's sneeze, cough or breath enters in your body through airways i.e. nose, eyes, mouth.

It gives passage to mucous membrane present in your throat. Virus first infected the lining of throat, then goes down to the lungs and turns it into corona virus factories that eject more viruses to infect more body cells.

Within 2 to 14 days, immune system may respond and shows mild to severe symptoms including:

Body aches

Dry cough

Fever

Pain

Sore throat

chill, sometime with shaking

Loss of taste and smell

Fatigue

Diarrhea

How does your body get attacked by Corona virus?

virus turns the body infected by invading healthy cells. The invader makes copies of himself there and multiplies all over your body.

The new corona virus latches its spiky surface proteins on healthy cells to receptors, particularly the ones in your lungs.

The viral proteins specifically bust into cells through ACE2 receptors. The corona virus hijacks healthy cells once inside and takes charge. Eventually, some of the healthy cells get destroyed.

Nose and throat

Infection begins from nose or throat, it takes over upper nasal tract, by blocking out our sense of smell or taste before moving down into the throat.

Here the cells are abundant in an enzyme known as ACE2. They allow the "spike proteins" on the virus surface to latch on and replicate speedily.

patients are highly infectious here, but may not experience any symptoms yet, virus allows human to transmit it to others without letting them know that they are sick.

Lungs

If body's immune system does not suppress it at this early stage, the virus passes down the windpipe and into the lungs.

Virus become dreadful when enters inside the lungs because it inflamed millions of air sacs present inside lungs.

"This condition is called as pneumonitis – inflammation of the lung tissue – it prevents the proper intake of oxygen, makes the lungs wet and heavy," said Dr. Duncan Young, Professor of Intensive Care Medicine at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences.

This can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) for certain patients. A potentially fatal condition in which blood oxygen levels drop to a critically low level.

"You can stop them dying from lack of oxygen on ventilator" said by Dr. Young. But that not preventing the spread of infection it carries on. You keep them alive in the expectation that they can combat the virus by their own immune system.

Sadly, the immune system overreacts to the infection for many people – causing a "cytokine storm" whereby the body attacks ultimately by itself.

"A high heart rate is triggered by this inflammatory body-wide process. It makes blood vessels to leak fluid, a little like a blister.

It's what makes kidney failure happen to the 20 percent of people, and it's also what causes people to get heart attacks", "Dr. Young said.

So, most of the patient die in ICU, they first and most died due to this cytokine storm. They die of multiple organ failure because everything gives up.

Kidneys

COVID-19 can cause kidney damage in extreme cases – one preprint study of 85 hospitalized Wuhan patients showed that 27 percent patients had kidney failure.

It's ambiguous whether this is because the virus specifically targets the kidneys – there's an excess of ACE2 receptors within the organ – or it's the body's reaction to something else, like plummeting blood pressure.

Either way, demand for dialysis machines could be massively increased.

Brain

So far, doctors are uncertain about how the virus affects the brain, but studies have identified COVID-19 patients who have had strokes, seizures, confused and inflammation of the brain.

"A lot of patient becomes confused or puzzled when they come in hospital, which is essentially a indication that something isn't quite right in the brain," Dr Young said.

"Whether the virus affects the brain directly, or if it is a indication that the oxygen levels are just too low, we can't be sure yet."

But one case study in Japan documented signs of the virus in a COVID-19 patient's cerebrospinal fluid that had acquired meningitis and encephalitis. That suggests SARS-CoV-2 can penetrate the central nervous system.

Heart and veins

Experts believe that infection will contribute to cardiac coagulation, cardiac attacks and cardio-inflammation because the virus binds to ACE2 receptors on cell lining our blood vessels. The impact of virus on both heart and blood is unclear.

Professor Shah said: "There are signs of cardiac and vascular complications in hospitals with COVID-19. "We're seeing a large proportion of patients growing clots flowing into the heart through the arteries."

prof. Shah added: " one of the extreme feature of severe COVID-19 is the increased probability of clot formation in body including legs and lungs.

It can explain why patients with diabetes and heart disease are at risk for COVID-19 acute illness because their vascular systems are already under additional stress.

Intestine

New study reveals that corona virus SARS-CoV-2 infect intestine and multiply there. This is because intestinal cell has ACE2 receptors, the receptors through which COVID-19 causing SARS-CoV-2 virus can enter into host cells.

This could explain why one third of COVID-19 patient experiences gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, and the fact that the virus often detected in stool samples.

Treatment

No specific antiviral therapy is recommended for COVID-19 supporting treatment should be given to infected patients to help relieve symptoms.

In extreme cases the function of vital organs should be protected. No vaccine is available for SARS-CoV-2 currently.

Taking precautionary measures can protect you from this virus.

Keeping yourself isolated from populated area

Washing your hands frequently for 20 seconds

Wearing a mask and gloves when go outside

Self isolation if someone have symptoms

Eat healthy

"Aaj" (آج )

Ye "Aaj" jo "kal "me zinda tha

Wo "kal" jo "Aaj" me zinda hai

Wo "kal" jo "kal" k sath geya

Wo "kal" jo abhi ainda hai

Guzar chuke or ane wale, jitne "kal" hain, jitne kal thy-

En ka koi wajood na hota

Hum or tum be-ism hi rahte

"Aaj" agar mojood na hota

Mumkin hai "ainda" sirf ik khuwab ho,jis ki

Tabeero main jeene wali sari ankhen,doob chuki hon

(lekn wo khud bujh kar b rakhshanda ho)

Why chemistry is necessary for our life

Chemistry

Chemistry is vast subject which covers many fields of life. By listening the word chemistry all comes in our mind is colorful solutions,chemical reaction, boiling and melting points, changing color and different shapes of molecules. yes,of course on lighter note many of students may think about their chemistry teacher and may relate him or her with mad scientist once in their student life.

Chemistry is one of the sciences which really helps us to understand the complexity of our reality. most important thing in chemistry is Periodic Table which is backbone of chemistry and anybody who studied the chemistry cannot ignore it. Periodic table is a product of thousand of years of human beings trying to get an understanding all about the complexity of the world.

If we look around our world it doesn't even has our planet it could be the whole universe around us, you can see different substances like fire, water, rocks even in planets different meteorological patterns are present. In living things complexity is present and it looks like there is an infinite spectrum of differences out there of many substances such as in our brain where different electro-chemical reactions are involve. So, at the end of the day, things are made up of basic building blocks.

Everything which is shown up here, seems so different because of the different composition of elements like Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon. Even the elements are themselves made up of electrons, protons, neutrons that are combine together or rearrange themselves in different ways to give us these elements that have all of these different properties.

Relationship of chemistry with other sciences:

This is how chemistry looks like, but it is the essence that how we create models and understand models to describe the complexity of universe around us? If we put chemistry in context to other sciences many people say at purest level you would have mathematics. Because if we perceive differently or think differently Maths might be that common language. But on the top of the math, we have question about how is our reality actually structured? At most basic level what are the basic constituent of matter? What are the mathematical proportion that describe how they react together? and then how thy interact to one another? So, above that level we get our topic chemistry which is very closely related to physics. When we talk about chemical equations, we create that molecular interactions between these are quantum mechanical interactions which we do not understand at deepest level yet. But with chemistry we can start to make use of physics and math to understand that how all the building blocks interact to explain the all sort of different phenomenon.

In the equation we can see the phenomenon of combustion. In this hydrogen is combusting with oxygen to produce a lot of energy. on top of this we build biology. Biology means human being or any living organism it based on molecular interactions. Interaction between molecules or between the atoms which at the end of the day, is all about the Chemistry.

It is really hard to imagine number of the chemical reactions taking place in human body. Even now while i am writing, seeing , hearing all of these things are related to biology. It also deals with other fields like economics, psychology, environmental sciences, pharmacy etc. This is how chemistry deals with other sciences and it is interlinked field and none of these field is complete, we have very partial knowledge of all these fields. So, we have a lot more to learn about chemistry and all related fields to explore world.

Conclusion:

Chemistry is a science which deals with matter and its interactions. Each and everything is made up of tiny particles called an atom. Periodic table is a backbone of chemistry in which elements are arranged in table form according to their mass number and each element has different properties and composition. Chemistry is inter-linked field i.e. it deals with other sciences to get the answers of complex questions.
