CONVERGING AND DIVERGING THINKING AND THE CONCEPT OF CRITICAL READING

 CONVERGING THINKING AND DIVERGING THINKING 

  • Convergent thinking focuses on finding one well-defined solution to a problem.
  • Divergent thinking is the opposite of convergent thinking and involves more creativity

CONVERGING THINKING

This type of thinking is best suited for tasks that involve logic as opposed to creativity, such as answering multiple-choice tests or solving a problem where you know there are no other possible solutions. 

DIVERGING THINKING

Divergent thinking is the opposite of convergent thinking and involves more creativity. With this type of thinking, you can generate ideas and develop multiple solutions to a problem. While divergent thinking often involves brainstorming for many possible answers to a question, the goal is the same as convergent thinking—to arrive at the best solution. 

BENEFITS IN CONVERGING THINKING

  • A quicker way to arrive at a solution

  • Leaves no room for ambiguity

  • Encourages organization and linear processes

BENEFITS IN DIVERGING THINKING

  • Identify new opportunities

  • Find creative ways to solve problems 

  • Assess ideas from multiple perspectives

  • Understand and learn from others

CRITICAL READING

Critical reading means that a reader applies certain processes, models, questions, and theories that result in enhanced clarity and comprehension. There is more involvement, both in effort and understanding, A critical reading gets at "deep structure", that is, logical consistency, tone, organization, and a number of other very important sounding terms.

GLASS ELECTRODE

 GLASS ELECTRODE It is a secondary reference electrode that produces a constant and reproducible electrode potential. It is an ion-selective electrode used with other reference electrodes to generate a potential difference. Construction It is made up of a special glass of relatively low melting point and high electrical conductivity, in the form of a sealed glass tube filled with 0.1M HCl, a platinum wire is inserted into it, to make electrical contact. The glass electrode is represented as Pt| 0.1M HCl | Glass | H+    The H+ ion concentration inside the electrode is constant. When the electrode is immersed into a solution of unknown H+, it becomes sensitive to the outside concentration in the solution. Such a sensitivity arises because of the difference between the H+ ion concentration inside and outside.       The electrode potential of the glass rod is : EG = EG0 + 0.0591 log [ H+ ]     EG = EG0 - 0.0591 pH  The glass electrode is used as the internal reference electrode for th

CHROMATOGRAPHY

CHROMATOGRAPHY  It is a method used for the separation, purification, and identification of a mixture of substances. It is useful when components of a mixture have similar physical and chemical properties and hence cannot be separated by other methods. Principle: It is based on the distribution of the components in a mixture between a stationary and a mobile phase. The stationary phase may be a column of adsorbent, a paper, a thin layer of adsorbent through which the mobile phase moves on. The mobile phase may be a liquid or gas. The principle of chromatographic separation is always adsorption (absorption of a constituent on the surface of the solid stationary phase) or partition (distribution of a constituent in between two liquid stationary phases). THEORY OF CHROMATOGRAPHY The separation takes place due to the differential migration of components which depends on the relative affinity towards the stationary and mobile phases.  The component which is less strongly held by the station

 ISRAEL'S LASER AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM NIGHTMARE OF IRANIAN DRONES  Israel's defense ministry plan to surround Israel with a laser wall. Israel spent $150 million on laser defense. Israel's Game-Chaninging defense system is the first of its kind in the world with this cutting-edge system Israel's ministry plans to surround itself with this technology. The laser shall supplement the short-range air defense provided by Israel's iron dome. 90% success rate, The iron dome detects and intercepts incoming missiles and drones.  The weapon will take time to be operational and is expected to be partly funded by the U.S. Israel keeping a tab on the growing threat posed by the Iranian armed drones, as the Iranian-made rockets in the hands of Lebanon's Hezbollah group are also a worry.
