The molecule Lactose has the biological function of being used as energy in the body, like a carbohydrate. When you consume it, you break it down into glucose then galactose. You use enzymes to break it into these two parts, which releases energy throughout the body. You can use other carbohydrates without an ill effect, therefore you don’t really need to use lactose. The common name is Lactose, the IUPAC name is β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose. Its formula is C12H22O11. The etymology of…

Ionic and Covalent bonds are the two different types of bonds that hold atoms together, each having their own characteristics. The distance and charge determines the type of bond the molecules have. These bonds occur because atoms strive to obtain the ideal valence of 8. Some atoms need to gain or lose electrons in order to achieve the ideal valence. In a covalent bond, the electrons are being pulled by two atoms that are both nonmetals. In other words, the two atoms are sharing electrons, but…

The Greek word, “lithos”, meaning stone, is another term for lithium because of its frequent appearance in minerals and rocks (The Element Lithium, 1). Lithium is a soft, silver-white metal known for its reactivity, flammability, and ability to be effortlessly corroded in moist air (Lithium: historical information, 1). Although lithium is only proven successful for one medical condition, it is likely effective for many others in the same way (Lithium, 1). The electrical…

In many cases a person can buy a lithium/compound of lithium, such as a mood stabilizing drug, from behind the counter (Pure Lithium). Also, chemistry/ science teachers buy lithium for labs in school.Some danger of lithium include its flammability , and when combined with certain elements, its toxins. However, every element comes with its dangers and risks. In conclusion, with all the benefits that lithium contains and all the compounds it is used in today, I’d say that we’re pretty lucky…

Carcinogenic Chemical Product: Fire Retardants Fire safety is a vital part of the modern technological society and as responsible citizens it is important to recognise that, with the aid of fire retardants, there is a prolong time frame of escaping from fires. This widely used carcinogenic product is composed of certain chemical elements within numerous everyday products (either inside the polymeric material or as an external layer) that help combat the ignition through chemical reactions at…

Henry Ford, with his genius concepts of the assembly line and interchangeable parts, create the American auto industry in Detroit in the early 1900’s. Throughout the 20th century, the industry flourished and floundered. Numerous unique factors impact the auto industry. Below is a summary of the following factors as they relate to the auto industry: government regulations, the US economy and globalization, technology, and socio-cultural influences.

Add a Title According to the SREX report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a changing climate leads to changes in the frequency, intensity, spatial extent, duration, and timing of extreme weather and climate events, and can result in unprecedented extreme weather and climate events (IPCC, 2012). Especially in the Western United States, wildfires are increasing in frequency, duration, and severity. Wildfires are a major source of particulate matter in the air, mainly during the…

properties are only observed when the chemical identity of a substance changes. Examples of physical properties are weight, color, opacity, texture, scent, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, and density. Examples of chemical properties are flammability, reactivity, and ph. If Mark had not known about certain chemical properties, he would have not have known how to do many of the things he did to survive. An example of this was the knowledge required to know what reaction would be…
