General Knowledge Questions

A Focus of an earthquake is the location where the earthquake begins. The ground ruptures at this spot, then seismic waves radiate outward in all directions.

At this focus point, the release of energy due to faulting actually occurs during an earthquake. The point directly above the focus on the surface is called Epicenter.

The focus is also called as Hypocenter as it is the synonym of the focus.

Atoms are composed of three main particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. We know that, the electrons are negatively charged particles whereas protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge.

Hence, as the number of electrons and protons are equal and they are oppositely charged, the atom will have no charge as their charges cancel each other.

The first attempt in printing was made in England by William Caxton.

William Caxton was an English merchant, diplomat, and writer. He is thought to be the first person to introduce a printing press into England, in 1476, and as a printer was the first English retailer of printed books.

An ionic bond is formed in between the two atoms with the transfer of electrons from an atom to the other to become stable after pairing.

The atom which has low ionization energy will give some of its electrons to get stable electronic configuration .
