Dextrorotatory and dextrorotation are terms used in chemistry to describe the direction in which a substance rotates plane-polarized light. When a substance is said to be dextrorotatory, it means that it rotates plane-polarized light to the right or clockwise direction, whereas when it is levorotatory, it rotates plane-polarized light to the left or counterclockwise direction.
The terms "dextrorotatory" and "levorotatory" come from the Latin words "dexter" meaning "right" and "lævus" meaning...

According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, it is impossible to determine the exact spin of an electron at any given moment. The Uncertainty Principle states that the more precisely we know the position of a particle, the less precisely we can know its momentum, and vice versa. Spin is a form of intrinsic angular momentum, which means it does not correspond to any specific position in space, and therefore cannot be measured precisely at the same time as its position.
However, while we...
The order of magnitude of a physical quantity is its magnitude in powers of ten when the physical quantity is expressed in powers of ten with one digit to the left of the decimal.
Orders of magnitude are generally used to make very approximate comparisons and reflect very large differences.
