Electron transport chain

In our time and age, many inventions depend on the use of static electricity such as printers, photocopiers , pollutant removers and even spray painting. Now imagine how our world would differ if we did not have the implementation of static electricity in inventions such as photo copiers or printers. These simple inventions solve big problems. What is static electricity? How do printers work? Why do we need Printers? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the use of printers? These factors…

number of 11. This element has 11 protons, 11 protons, and about 11 neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutron have a neutral charge. Electron shells are the outer parts of an atom containing the electrons. Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell. Valence electrons tell us whether an atom shares, transfers or receives electrons to become stable 3. Nucleic acids are organic molecule composed of nucleotides. The role of nucleic acids are…

stable one, while tritium has a half-life of roughly twelve years, making it slightly radioactive (Unterweger et al.; Wanjek). However, tritium has a higher binding energy than deuterium making it a more efficient fuel (Watkins). The deuterium-tritium reaction has a yield of roughly 17.6 MeV whereas the deuterium-deuterium reaction only has a yield of about 3.65 MeV. Still, the DT reaction has its disadvantages. For one, in the DT reaction about 80% of the energy is stored in a high-energy…

purpose of the experiment, “Charge to Mass Ratio for an Electron”, was to measure the charge-to-mass ratio (e/m) for an electron. This lab was performed to help students further understand the characteristics of an electron in regards to various things such as its magnetic field strength and velocity. By using a Daedalon (e/m) Apparatus paired with Helmholtz coils and a glass bulb filled with helium gas, students were able to observe electrons travelling in a circular path. This is due to the…

Pure metals are of very less application in engineering as of the need of conflicting property requirement. For e.g. an application may need a material that is both hard and ductile, there is no any such kind of substance existing in nature. For this present problem, combination (in liquid state) of one material with other material is used. This mixing of materials in the molten liquid state is termed alloying ,that provides a property that is not similar to the original materials. Bronze…

determined by the electrons in a compound.1 As electrons move around, they can absorb energy and become excited. The energy, and thus the wavelength of light, the electrons absorb is determined by the type of atoms found in the compound and how those atoms are bound together. Different environments for electrons will also determine how much of a particular wavelength of light can be absorbed, a parameter which is reflected…

the elements of sample. When electron beam attack the sample, incident electron will be diffracted and change the direction or even loose some energy. During this process, accumulating scattered angle of some incident electron is more than 90 degrees, they will re-emit from the surface of the sample. The characteristic of backscattered is high energy and close to the energy of incident electron, the resolution is low. On the contrary, the energy of secondary electrons is very small and less…

His major discoveries came by doing experiments with cathode ray tubes which have electrons that emitted light when negative voltage and metal plates were added, this was the discovery of the electron or corpuscle as he named it (Unknown author, 1997). A cathode tube works by creating gaseous discharge, which "occurs in a gas at low pressure when subjected to an electrical potential difference…

Source 1:http://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=13451 Some kinds of metals (like steel that the needles are made of) are made up of billions and billions of individual atoms that each have the properties of a microscopic magnet. The atoms in steel naturally tend to get together in tiny little groups called domains, and within each domain the atoms tend to point in the same direction, which makes the domains behave like a tiny little bar magnets just like the kind you have…

The problem with synthesizing this molecule is that it contains unpaired electrons in two of its outer carbons. These free electrons cause the molecule to oxidize almost instantly as these electrons react to try to find stability. The researcher team form IBM has found a way to overcome this obstacle. By starting with the molecule dihydrotriangulene, triangulene with a hydrogen attached to each of the unpaired electrons. The researchers were able…
