Captain Atom

Everything is made of atoms, which are the smallest representative parts of each of the ninety-two elements that occur in nature. Elements are either metals, such as iron, copper or calcium or non-metals such as carbon, oxygen or nitrogen. Chemistry is concerned with the way atoms link together to form molecules, which are the natural chemical units of matter. Molecules represent the smallest particle of a chemical compound which retains the characteristics and chemical properties of the…

can be proven through experiments. John Dalton pointed out some major details about the atomic theory; All matter is composed of very small particles called atoms, atoms of a given element are identical, atoms can’t be created nor destroyed, atoms can combine or separate from each other, and atoms combine in whole number ratios. The atoms in the atomic theory are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Electrons inhabit regions of space called orbitals. Orbitals…

Atoms are what make up what we call “matter.” They are the smallest units of a chemical element, and they consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These components form an atom’s subatomic particles. Before discussing the copper atom at length, we must first be able to understand the components that comprise an atom. The first of these components that make up an atom is the proton. The proton is a very important part of an atom, because the atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the…

consciousness is not a priority on Earth, and very few are trying to achieve it. According to astrophysics, all the matter existing in the universe today came from a single infinitesimally dense point that expanded after the Big Bang explosion. Although the atoms that make up all matter, including life, are continually being flung further apart in an ever-expanding universe, they were a…

understanding of the structure of the atom, scientist were able to isolate system of electrons and atomic nucleus. The atomic part of physics is primarily concerned with the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus and the processes by which the arrangements was changed. Atomic theory has affected the field of physics in a way that has given scientist knowledge on how to produce an atomic bomb. Scientists has differentiated between atomic physics that deals with the atom as a system involving…

An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element. An atom consists of particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. The protons and neutrons of the atom make up its center, called the nucleus, and its electrons surround the nucleus from a certain distance.…

Atomic Theory The atom is the smallest unit of an element. It is composed of two main parts. The nucleus is the central point of an atom. Compacted in that small space are neutrons and protons that constantly jiggle. Neutrons are uncharged particles that add mass to the nucleus without adding a charge. The protons are positively charged particles that are also located in the nucleus and symbolized as p+. The second part of an atom is the electron cloud. The electron cloud is a cloud…

I believe that “The Cosmological Argument” for God is still quite valid, my reasons for defending this argument have been produced after a great deal of reflection on the matter, I have concluded that the argument is still quite useful. To best describe the argument, it is the conclusion that “nothing comes from nothing” as was stated by St. Aquinas, in other words God must exist because if there was nothing then we needed something to “call it into existence” so to speak. This coincides…

scanning a sample with a focused beam of electrons. Samples can be observed in high vacuum, low vacuum, in wet conditions, or at elevated temperatures. The images in this paper were obtained by the detection of secondary electrons that were emitted by atoms excited by the primary electron beam. The primary beam scans in a raster fashion, making horizontal passes across the x-axis one at a time. This allows the detector to display the information into the image on pixel at a time in synchronized…

Experiment #6: Polarimetry Resolution of (∓)-Racemate: (∓)-ɑ-Phenylethylamine OBJECTIVE All chiral molecules have a mirror image of themselves. While they have the same physical properties, they interact with other chiral molecules completely different. Since there are many chiral molecules in organics, this can lead to the need to make optically pure products. If the chemist does not, it can lead to many problems including death. In this experiment, the separation of two enantiomers was…
