Electron transport chain

are so small that it can’t be found under the finest microscopes. A tiny spec of dust contains millions of billions of atoms! Even though atoms are tiny, but it actually consist of three different particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. In every atom, electrons move around the nucleus, the combination of protons and neutrons. The idea of an atom was first discovered by the ancient Greeks, they used the word “atomos” to describe something that is uncuttable. This idea was not found by…

is 40.078 u. Family. The periodic table is classified into groups and every group(row) has its own properties. Calcium is in group 2 ,and this is the second most reactive group of the periodic table. Each of the elements in group 2 has two electrons in their outer shell. “This group is called Alkaline Earth metals, they are called this because when they are mixed in solutions, they are likely to form solutions with a Ph greater than 7.” Metal, nonmetal or metalloid?…

occur, known as plastic deformation. The hardening of materials through the use of deformation in a material stems from the atomic structure of a metallic material. Metals are held together by metallic bonding where electrons are shared amongst atoms so that a "sea" of electrons is created. This type of bonding is not only strong enough to keep the atom together, but because of a lack of bond directionality, dislocations are able to be created and moved without the entire molecule falling…

Chromium Chromium was discovered in France in 1797. A man named Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin discovered chromium while experimenting with a material known as Siberian red lead. The name Chromium comes from the Greek word "chroma" meaning "color." Chromium got this name because of the many different colors in the element. This element is hard, metallic and shiny. Chromium doesn't tarnish. Chromium is a metal element. Chromium's symbol is "Cr" and has an atomic number of 24. This metal is the…

The purpose of this lab was to analyze and examine periodic trends of the first 36 elements that are on the periodic table. Trends that were analyzed and examined are the atomic radius (AR) and the first ionization energy (IE) of the 36 elements. The hypothesis for this lab was that the elements that are in the groups that had the highest atomic radius would be in the same groups as those who have the the highest first ionization energy and the groups who have the lowest atomic radius would be…

Albert Einstein's influence on astronomy. Albert had a big influence on Astronomy. He started to study mathematics, he was lured toward calculus around 1891. Albert originally wanted to be a electrical engineer. But he failed to do pass an examination which would have allowed him to study for a diploma at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zurich. He made a plan of graduating as a teacher in mathematics and physics. He got his PHD in 1905. He also created the theory of relativity. A…

of two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings attached to opposite sides of iron. The “η5” hapticity indicates that five atoms from the Cp ligand are coordinating to the iron ion. The iron contributes six electrons with it’s oxidation state of 2+, and the Cp rings each contribute six electrons. Thus, the total electron count of…

Early Atomic Experiments Joseph John Thomson conducted an experiment that is known today as the CRT Experiment. The outcome of this experiment was JJ’s discovery of the electron. CRT is an acronym for Cathode Ray Tube, this gives a broad concept of what the experiment is about. The basic components of the experiment include, a glass cylindrical tube with most of the air inside vacuumed out of it, and inside the tube is Electrode for each side. One of the Electrodes is negative and entitled the…

The objective: Through a scientific invention the student will create a model that transmits electrical current and demonstrate that electricity travels in a closed path. Materials: (6) light bulb, (6) battery, (6) 6 in. insolated copper wires, (6) wire stripper, (6) switches, (21) safety goggles, (21) aprons, and boxes of gloves. Vocabulary: Circuit, closed circuit, open circuit, electrical circuit, electromagnetic, and parallel circuit Engaged: We are going to do a KWL chart to find out, what…

Electrons can be core or valence. The core electrons are like nobel gases and the valance are the rest. Like noble gases, core electrons do not react, but valence electrons do. Imagine, if you will, a reaction of sodium with chlorine gas. The sodium gives up a valence electron and chlorine gains one. The compound made is 1:1 Na:Cl. A similar thing happens with potassium and bromine, you get KBr. The electron configuration of sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1. The part up to 2p is just like the nobel…
