INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION(ISS) PC - NASA Five space agencies including NASA, JAXA, ROSCOSMOS, CSA, ESA have contributed to the space station assembly. The International Space Station is larger than a six-bedroom house with six sleeping quarters, two bathrooms, a gym, and a 360-degree view bay window. In 24 hours, the space station makes 16 orbits of Earth, traveling through 16 sunrises and sunsets. Peggy Whitson set the U.S. record for spending the most total time living and working in space at 665 days on Sept. 2, 2017. To mitigate the loss of muscle and bone mass in the human body in microgravity, the astronauts work out at least two hours a day. The solar array wingspan (356 feet, 109 meters) is longer than the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380 (262 feet, 80 meters). pc-NASA The space station is 356 feet (109 meters) end-to-end, one yard shy of the full length of an American football field including the end zones. A spacecraft can arrive at the s...

Class 11th "CHEMICAL BONDINGS AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE"
• General Characteristics of ionic Compounds : (i) Physical State: They generally exist as crystalline solids, known as crystal lattice. Ionic compounds do not exist as single molecules like other gaseous molecules e.g., H 2 , N 2 , 0 2 , Cl 2 etc. (ii) Melting and boiling points: Since ionic compounds contain high interionic force between them, they generally have high melting and boiling points. (iii) Solubility: They are soluble in polar solvents such as water but do not dissolve in organic solvents like benzene, CCl4etc. (iv) Electrical conductivity: In solid state they are poor conductors of electricity but in molten state or when dissolved in water, they conduct electricity. (v) Ionic reactions: Ionic compounds produce ions in the solution which gives very fast reaction with oppositely charged ions. For example, • Covalent Bond—Lewis-Langmuir Concept : When the bond is formed between two or more atoms by mutual contribution and shar...
