  The indian peafowl or blue peafowl  
(scientific name - Pavo cristatus) is a large and brightly blue colour peacock  of the pheasant family native to south Asia, but in many other place of the earth , Linnaeus in 1758 first named the spisese  some people still using the same name (Pavo cristatus) . The male peacock is blue with a big crest with wire like feather and it is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper tail feathers  which gives a colourful and beautiful spots . These  elongated feathers rised like a fan and quivered like a beautiful display during courtship . The female peacock has a greenish neck and a brown plumage . The indian peafowl/ peacock are mostly found on the ground in open forest ,on land under cultivation or on river and lake side where they can eat berries grain , snakes , lizard , small rodents etc. In forest peacock indicate the presence of predators like Tiger , lion etc.. peacock are mostly avoid flight. They always try to escape on foot but through they can fly into the tall trees to escape . It is the national bird of India . The indian peacock /peafowl are listed by the international union for conservation of natuNa (Iucn) for concern.
                There were meny species  described and founded by Linnaeus in his work .

Siemens Ozoniser how Siemens Ozoniser work

Siemens Ozoniser:  This Ozoniser consist of two co-axial glass tubes fused together at one end. The outer side of the outer glass tube and the inner side of the inner glass tube are finally coated with tin foils as shown in the figure given below.  (Siemens Ozoniser)->2                                                     (Siemens Ozoniser)->1 These tin foil are connected  to the induction coil for supply of silent electric discharge. Pure and dry oxygen gas is passed into the apparatus through annular space. The gas is then subjected to the action of silent electric discharge where oxygen gets converted into ozone. The ozonised oxygen then comes out  of the apparatus through the outlet of the Ozoniser. (Siemens Ozoniser)->2

Rutile structure

-
Rutile structure: The radius radio is in the range 0.73 to 0.41. in rutile (TiO²) each Ti⁴+ ion is octahedrally surrounded by six O²- ions whereas each other O²- ion is surrounded by only three Ti⁴+ ions arranged at the tree corners of a plane triangle. The Co-ordination number of Ti⁴+ and O²+ ions are 6 and 3, respectively. It is not exactly a close packed structure. Ti⁴+ ions in rutile may however, be considered as forming a sufficiently distorted body centred cubic lattice.           Example  compounds  having radius ratio below 0.41 are SiO² and BeF² but these are only a few. The Co-ordination number of Si⁴+ and Be²+ is four and that of O²- is two. However, these are appreciably co-valent.

What are F - Block Elements - F - block elements are consist of Lanthanides and Actinides. In Lanthanides, they are 14 element immediately following Lanthanum (57) from cerium (58) to lutecium (71) . These 14 element are called Lanthanides . These Lanthanides belong to first inner transition series .           In Actinides , these are also 14 elements immediately following Actinium (89) starting from Thorium (90) to lawrencium (103) . The element from Th (90) to Lr (103) are called Actinides . They belong to second inner transition series.
