chemicals are safe to have around or which chemicals are harmful and dangerous to our bodies. To answer the enduring question, how do we gain knowledge to understand a chemical system, particularly since we cannot see atoms or molecules? We gain knowledge on this by the reaction the atoms or molecules going through from testing different valuable like the reaction of the molecules; how fast or slow they are moving we can use three factors: concentration, temperature and a…

Atoms are very,very small. They couldn’t have been seen until 1981 with the invention of scanning tunneling microscopes. But the ideas go all the way back to ancient Greece. The beginning of the atom start around 450 B.C. with a Greek philosopher named Democritus. Democritus and a younger contemporary of Socrates. He was born in Abdera in 460 B.C. His teacher was Leucippus. Democritus was known as the laughing philosopher because he really understood cheerfulness. He stated that all things were…

Unit: Atoms, molecules and calculations Task 1: Fundamental features of atoms 1. (a) Use the symbols below to explain the nuclear model of the atom: 204Pb 206Pb 207Pb 208Pb 82 82 82 82 A atom is the basic unit of an element .it is a form of matter which cannot be broken down any further .an atom consist of sub atomic particles which are protons, neutrons and electrons .I will be looking at specifically the atom lead. Every…

An Isotope is an atom of an element which has a different number of neutrons and different mass number but the same proton number. The isotope that will be focused in the essay is carbon 14 isotope. Carbon is found in all living things and is the building block for organic material, there is carbon 12, 13 and 14 and they all have different properties. This isotope was discovered on February 27, 1940 by Martin Karmen and Sam Ruben and is the most radioactive out of all carbon isotopes. The…

A polymer is a large molecule which is formed by repeated linkage of small molecule called monomers. Conducting polymer have been the subjects for many decades as possible synthetic metals. Many of these polymer, especially those with a conjugated pi-bond system ,often yield higher conductivity once having undergone the doping process. Polymers are typically insulators due to their very high resistivity .Insulators have tightly bound electrons so that nearly no electron flow occurs ,and they…

AC 2.3: Explain the method of making titanium alloy and investigate how the composition and structure of metal alloys, polymers and poly-matrix composites influence the properties of the parent material. 1. Extraction process. 2. Melting process. 3. Storage process. Extraction of Titanium by Kroll process: First titanium ore Rutile (TiO2) is taken. Rutile is converted into titanium sponge by the following process: Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) – a colourless compound is obtained as a result…

Maxwell and Faraday- A Brief History of Electromagnetism The field of electromagnetism was established in 1819, twelve years before Maxwell was born. Hans Christian Oersted from Denmark was the first scientist who thought of the possibility that magnetism and electricity were related. He considered such a possibility because of the observations he made during an experiment. He Placed a wire above a compass and passed a current through the wire. He noticed that the needle of compass moved when…

The SEM produces a largely magnified image by using electrons instead of light to form an image. A beam of electrons is produced at the top of the microscope by an electron gun. It consists of an electron gun to produce high energy electron beam. A magnetic condensing lens is used to condense the electron beam and a scanning coil is arranged in-between magnetic condensing lens and the sample. The electron detector (Scintillator) is used to collect the secondary electrons and can be converted…

Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) is a tool to study thermal emission resulting from non-radiative relaxation followed by absorption of radiation. PAS was studied primarily by Alexander Graham Bell, John Tyndall, Wilhelm Rontgen and Lord Rayleigh in 1884. For the history of PAS, was not until 1975 that photoacoustic spectroscopy started to be used as a wide range of different applications. This technique provides the following main advantages over the known types of spectroscopy. The advantages…

Brønsted–Lowry Left hand side: Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted (1879 - 1947) Right hand side: Thomas Martin Lowry (1874 - 1936) THEORY An acid is a proton (H+) donor A base is a proton (H+) acceptor EXPLANATION OF THE THEORY: Acids are proton donors and bases are proton acceptors. A hydrogen ion is the same thing as a proton since hydrogen consists of a proton and an electron. When hydrogen loses an electron all that is left is a proton. According to the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and…
