PERCEPTIONS OF THE WORLD: THE ROLE OF SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION IN SCIENCE EDUCATION FOR FORMING THE WORLDVIEW OF STUDENTS
Everyone has his/her own view of the surrounding world. The school has a significant role in shaping these views. Therefore, targeted actions are needed in the classroom to build an adequate scientific insight and understanding of the relations: human – nat...

SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF IBUPROFEN AND RANITIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE USING UV SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD
A new method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of ibuprofen and ranitidine HCl using UV spectroscopy. The calibration graphs were linear in the ranges of \(2-12 \mu \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{ml}\) for ibuprofen (\(\mathrm{r}^{2}=0.9994\) ) and \(5...

DEPENDENCE BETWEEN STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF COMPOUNDS OF P-ELEMENTS
In this paper, some examples of tetrahedral and octahedral structures are given as one of the kinetic factors that affect the stability of compounds of p-elements. The tetrahedral structure is typical for second period elements whose atoms have four valence o...
