HISTORY

The ISL was founded by the Reliance Foundation in 2013. The first season of Hero ISL was held in 2014. A total of eight teams participated in this competition. Atletico De Kolkata won the title by defeating Kerala Blasters led by David James in this season. In the next season Chennaiyin FC won a late goalscoring thriller in the final by defeating Zico's FC Goa. A rejuvenated Atletico De Kolkata won for the second time by edging out Kerala Blasters on penalties in 2016.

IMPORTANT STATISTICS

Iain Hume remains the all time top scorer with 23 goals in the three seasons. He also played the most number of games in this tournament till date. Iain Hume was also the Hero of the League in 2014. Stiven Mendoza of Chennaiyin FC's star-studded champions was named the Hero of the League in 2015. On the other hand, former Chelsea player Florent Malouda remains as the tournaments all time most assists. He was the Hero of the League in 2016. Atletico De Kolkata versus Chennaiyin FC recorded the highest ever attendance of 68,340 at the Salt Lake Stadium in 2015.

Cathode Ray Experiment

This experiment was conducted by J.J. Thomson (Sir Joseph John Thomson) in the year 1897. This experiment proved that atom is made up of fundamental particles which are much smaller than the smallest atom 'hydrogen' This experiment helped to discover electron. According to J.J. Thomson, the cathode rays consisted of very light, small and negatively charged particles. He named the particles "corpuscles" which were later known as electrons

Animal and Plant Cells

Cells Cells are the basic functional, biological and structural unit of life. The word cell is a Latin word meaning ‘small room’. Cells are also known as building blocks of life. The branch of science that deals with the form, structure, and composition of a cell is known as Cytology. All organisms around us are made up of cells. Bacteria, ameba, paramecium, algae, fungi, plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells together form tissues. And tissue together makes an organ. History Of Cell The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He assembled a simple microscope and observed a very thin slice of cork under his primitive microscope. The cork was obtained from the outer covering of a tree called bark. Robert Hooke observed many little-partitioned boxes or compartments in the cork slice. These boxes appeared like a honey-comb. He termed these boxes as the cell. He also noticed that one box was separated from another by a wa...

High School Pedia

It is an initiative by some students to spread the light of knowledge to everyone and everywhere. It was started in the year 2015 and has grown rapidly in the past few months. By the means of this website, we try to provide information on every topic that we can reach up to. You can find different articles on this website. All these articles are written in simple language so that everyone can understand it and learn from it. We at High School Pedia believe in creative learning and this is the reason why we add our own edited graphical representations in every article. Once a very learned man said, “Knowledge increases by not keeping it to yourself but by sharing it with others”. And we follow the same motto “Share to Learn”. The team of High School Pedia tries its best to provide you with the best and original content. Unlike many other websites, High School Pedia is famous for its original and inspiring content.

Important Mathematical Constants!

Important Mathematical Constants Mathematical constants are those numbers that are special and interesting because they come up in the various fields of mathematics like geometry, calculus etc. These mathematical constants are usually named after the person who discovered it and they are represented by a symbol that is usually picked up from the Greek alphabet. Mathematical constants are by definition very important. In this article we will take a look at certain mathematical constants that are more commonplace than others. 1. π (pi) or Archimedes constant (~3.14159): π is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. This is probably the most popular mathematical constant. So π is the circumference of the circle whose diameter is 1 unit. You might have seen it popping up when calculating the area of a circle (πr 2 ) or the circumference of a circle (2πr). It has many uses throughout mathematics from calcula...

Catalysts

Catalysts When we hear the word catalyst, the first thing that comes to mind is the game “Mirror’s Edge Catalyst”. But actually, catalysts are chemical substances that speed up the process of a chemical reaction but do not used up in the process of speeding up. The process of using catalysts to speed up chemical processes is called catalysis. Some examples are: Ø Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form water and oxygen. 2H2O2 à 2H2O + O2 But in the presence of manganese dioxide (MnO2) the process is sped up and happens a lot faster. Ø Cars use a catalytic converter to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. These contain Platinum to speed up the process and keep the car’s system getting backed up. Ø Ammonia synthesis also uses Iron as a catalyst Catalysts work by reacting with a reactant. This is called a catalytic action. The product of the catalytic action is a chemical intermediate, which can react with the other reactant at a faster pace and give...

Anode Ray Experiment

→Anode ray experiment was conducted by E Goldstein. →These rays are also known as canal rays. →This experiment helped in the discovery of the proton. Apparatus Used A discharge tube was taken in which there were 2 electrodes i.e. Anode(+ve) and the cathode (-ve). The tube was filled with an inert gas. A perforated or porous cathode was used. A layer of zinc sulphide was placed at the back of the cathode. There was a vacuum pump in the tube. High voltage (5000v-10000v) was allowed to flow through the system. It was observed that when the gas was at 1atm(atmospheric pressure ) no change was seen in the tube. When the pressure was decreased inside the tube, a glow could be seen at the back side of the cathode.

Rutherford Alpha Ray Scattering Experiment

Rutherford Alpha Ray Scattering Experiment Hey, Guys, most of you might have heard about the alpha ray scattering experiment and if you want to know in detail about Rutherford's model and the experiment he conducted, this is the right place for you... But first: Things You Must Know Some basic information that will help you understand rutherford experiment properly: Proton is a sub-atomic particle which is positively charged and has a mass of 1u. Alpha particles are helium atom with a charge of +2 as they have lost 2 electrons. Alpha particles have an atomic mass of 4u. Gold is highly malleable and can be beaten into very thin sheets. Experiment Rutherford conducted his experiment in the following way: Rutherford took a very thin gold foil and bombarded it with high energy alpha particles. He placed a layer of zinc sulphide on the walls where the experiment was taking place because when alpha particles ...
