What four elements make up 96% of all living matter? _________________________________________ Concept 2.2 An element’s properties depend on the structure of its atoms 2. Below is a model of an atom of helium, correctly label the electrons, protons, neutrons, and atomic nucleus. 3. What is the atomic number of helium?…
One of the most important scientific discoveries is that of the atom. The Atom is the smallest unit of matter. “Atoms are mostly empty space” (OI/ https://www.thoughtco.com/interesting-facts-about-atoms-603817). It makes up all the four elements. “There are over 100 different kinds of atoms ”(OI/https://www.thoughtco.com/interesting-facts-about-atoms-603817).Over time the theories about the atom have changed a lot, moving from simple to complex.…
Chemical changes are everywhere from everyday things such as baking to scientific things such as changing one gas into another. Physical changes are changes that can be observed with senses and change a certain property or properties to a substance but it still remains chemically the same. This can include changes in the state of matter, size and shape. Chemical changes are when the substance is changed chemically with its properties changing with it. The substance with change from one substance to another.…
The Physics of PET Scans All elements are composed of atoms, which are composed of small particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. The nucleus of an atom is made of a tightly packed collection of protons and neutrons. You would think that with positively charged protons being packed so closely together the nucleus would fall apart, however this is not the case. There is an attractive force called the “nuclear force” which is able to overcome the repulsive force of the adjacent protons and holds the nucleus together.…
I think the decision to stop lithium was significant for the downward spiral of Evan's behavior, but you are right it was a matter of time for Evan to act as he did, however; if the family decided to keep the lithium as long term treatment until they found other option the out come could have been different for the family and especially for Evan…
Chlorine is an element that consists of 17 protons, an average of 18.5 neutrons and 17 electrons. It has an atomic number of 17, and an average nuclear charge of 35.5. There are 2 isotopes of chlorine that are 35Cl and 37Cl. 35Cl has an atomic mass of 35 and a natural abundance of 75%. 37Cl has an atomic mass of 37 and a natural abundance of 25%.…
Atoms relate to elements because elements consists of one specific kind of atom and the atoms are considered an element's base unit. 5. The components of an atom are very tiny particles called protons, neutrons…
Atoms are the tiny particles in the molecules that make up gases, liquids, and solids. Atoms themselves are made up of three particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. An atom has a nucleus (or core) containing protons and neutrons, which is surrounded by electrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge and electrons carry a negative electrical charge. Neutrons do not have an electrical charge.…
The elements David found are distinguished by the number of protons in their nuclei. Hydrogen has one proton. Therefore hydrogen’s atomic number is 1. The combined number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus is the atomic weight or mass.…
To keeping our bones strong and drying cements, Calcium can do it all. Calcium is an alkaline earth metal. Its atomic number is 20 and the average atomic mass is 40.078. It is very reactive and it is a silver grayish color.…
As with any other creation found on Earth, copper is made up of atoms. The outer part of the atom contain free-flowing electrons. There is only one valence electron in a copper atom, so the valence electron can be easily detached, which causes the electron on the copper atom next to it to detach as well. This chain reaction continues through the entire circuit. Copper's electrons move without resistance, making it a great…
Scientists believe that stars are made of mostly gas, and this gas is made up of many atoms. In the star, the atoms in the gas bang into each other and give off different light depending on the type of atoms. This light from stars enables scientists to figure out the type and amount of atoms they are made of. Knowing the composition of the stars, we can guess how they were formed. Therefore we can see that stars are just atoms (hydrogen) hitting each other producing light.…
What are group one elements? Group one elements are alkali metals. The physical properties of group one elements are that they are shiny and the alkali metals are very soft. Lithium is the hardest alkali metal and they become softer as you go down the group. The chemical properties of group one is that they’re very reactive when mixed with water or when in contact with the air.…
Originating from cosmic events such as supernovas, chemical elements are the foundation of all life. Billions of years ago, a violent explosion known as the Big Bang produced helium, hydrogen, and all of the matter and energy in the universe. Generated in the cores of stars, nuclei combined to form atoms which constitute the basic unit of all chemical elements. The extensive expansion of the universe induced the birth and demise of more stars and consequently the creation of more elements.…
An atom is a basic unit of an element. For thousands of years, people have been questioning about these tiny particles and have came up with many theories based around it. Though many people believe atomic theories started with John Dalton around the late 1700s or early 1800s. This is not true as the atomic theories started sometime during 300 or 400 B.C. with the philosopher, Democritus, being one of the first to come up with a theory about atoms. Democritus’ theory gave the basics of an atom; but his theory was rejected by many during his time as fellow philosophers, Aristotle and Plato, rejected his theory ("The History of the Atom").…
