Aquifers can predominantly be slowly replenished excluding the occasions these resources are drained. In the instances where the aquifers are drained, they can collapse and cause many ground collapsing events. Brian Howard describes how the water table, level of ground water, has dramatically deteriorated from 500 feet to 1000 feet in Central Valley, and the rate for drilling the wells is at a costly rate of 300,000 dollars per well.(Dimick pg 4). At rates so high, drought has the potential to…
explores each of the elements on the periodic table. The Disappearing Spoon focusses on the history of the Periodic Table by telling stories that show how each element affected the scientists that discovered it. For each element, Kean supplies an extensive backstory for its foundation, the common (or uncommon) uses of the element and other useful factoids about the matter. The author begins the novel with a physical description of the Periodic Table as a whole; he discusses the names of the…
The name is derived from the Greek 'helios' meaning sun, as it was in the sun's corona. Helium is a gaseous chemical element,with a symbol of He. Its atomic number is 2 and atomic weight is 4.0026. Helium is one of the noble gases on the periodic table. It’s the second lightest element. Helium is a colourless, odourless, insipid and non-toxic gas. It’s less soluble in water than any other gas. It’s the less reactive element and doesn’t form chemical compounds. The density of helium vapour is…
The element that I choose for this project is called Strontium. Strontium is a chemical element with the symbol (Sr) and it has atomic number of 38. It is an alkaline earth metal, and is a soft white yellowish metallic element which has highly reactivity chemically. It’s properties are mostly intermediate between aand similar to those of its group neighbors calcium and barium. When it is exposed to air, the metal forms a dark oxide layer. Strontium has 38 protons, 50 neutrons, and 38 electrons.…
Joseph Priestley was a famous chemist. He was famous for inventing soda water, his writings about electricity, and his discovery of gases. Joseph was born on March 24, 1733, in Bristall. He died February 6, 1804 at the age of 70. Joseph is most known for his discovery of oxygen and for isolating it. Oxygen was not first discovered by Joseph, instead the famous Swedish chemist, Carl W. Scheele, in 1772. Joseph discovered Oxygen independently in 1774. Joseph published his findings in the…
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. Each element in group one has one electron in their outermost shell. Also, group one elements get more reactive as you…

In today’s day and age, plastic surgery is extremely popular, especially breast augmentations. About 4% of women in America get breast augmentation each year. One of the options for breast augmentation is silicon implants. That being said I wanted to learn more about silicon and what people are putting in their bodies. Silicon is an element a pure substance that can’t be broken down. Silicon was first discovered in 1824 by a Swedish chemist named Jons Jacob Berzelius. This element is the second…
Why There Are No Pure Elements From Group 1 & 7 Group 1 elements are alkali metals which are very soft and reacts with metals well. The elements reacts very strongly with water. As you down the elements of group one, the reactivity increases. However, group 7 are halogens which are reactive, but they are metal. They are also different from group one as their reactivity decreases as you go down. Also, the elements becomes darker as you go down the group. Chemical reactions of group 1: The…
1) A description of the assignments for ENGL 2311. This will be sent to your fellow students to introduce them to the class. The first situation should use the chronological organizational pattern. The sentence also said it is a description of the assignments. Also its purpose is to introduce students to the class for a professor’s job. 2) An evaluation of the three most important changes you would like to see occur with ENGL 2311. This will be sent to your instructor to improve the class.…
