Fluorine

released. According to the United Kingdom’s National Weather Service, the following pollutants were released during the foggy period: 1,000 tons of smoke particles, 2,000 tons of carbon dioxide, 140 tons of hydrochloric acid, 14 tons of fluorine compounds and 370 tons of sulfur dioxide. In the weeks that ensued,…

unwanted symptoms caused by that drug. However, the beneficial effects of the drug far outweigh the side effects that accompany it. In contrast, such is not the case with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are chemical compounds containing chlorine, fluorine, and carbon atoms. Although they were considered as a significant breakthrough at the time of their discovery, CFCs have been found to cause various negative consequences on both the environment and humans. Before the discovery of…

Introduction The goal of this experiment was to determine atomic weight of Kandimonium and the relative number of M&M’s in Kandimonium. Kandimonim is composed of three isotopes: Skittles, M&M’s, and Sweet Tarts, and the ratio of Sweet Tarts to Skittles is 27:18. The relative number of M&M’s and the atomic mass were determined by weighing each of the different Isotopes and calculating their average masses for further calculations. Calculations The following calculations were used to…

deeper into the ground. The problem, however, is that huge amounts of rock and earth are brought up from the ground. These mining wastes can become toxic when they are exposed to water and air. Some examples of these toxins are arsenic, mercury and fluorine. The amount of dust produced in mining processes can be carried to nearby towns by wind. These dust particles can cause all sorts of health problems for people who are exposed to them. This can lead to dangerous side effects, such as smog,…

The Sun is the source of most of the energy that drives the life in the world around us in oceans, organic life, and in the atmosphere. It’s one of the most important processes to humanity as it provides various elements that are essential to human survival, such as photosynthesis, the water cycle, and light. However, the Sun isn't all righteous due to various factors that contribute to the Sun being damaging to organisms on Earth. To understand more about why the Sun can be harmful one must…

as its substance is reduced. 6. It corresponds to the quantity of electrons (e-) that a specific atom gains or loses. a.) Oxidation State b.) Oxidizing Agent c.) Oxidation Reaction d.) None of the above 7. Which of the following is not true: a.) Fluorine has always an oxidation number of -1 in compounds. b.) Elements in Group 17 have an oxidation number of -1 in binary metal compounds with metals or hydrogen. c.) Oxidization State of Hydrogen generally is +1 in compounds. d.) Elements in Group…

Scientists that i truly admire I have two scientists who I admire Thomas Alva Edison and Humphry Davy. Thomas Alva Edison is one of the best investors; Thomas Alva Edison was conceived in 1847 out of a residential community in Ohio. His instructors thought he was a moderate student, so his mom showed him herself, moving his enthusiasm for science. In 1869, subsequent to moving to New York, he enhanced a machine called the 'ticker'. It was utilized for handing-off data about the share trading…

enormous crystals in pegmatite dikes (Topaz). Pegmatite dikes comprise extremely coarse crystalline granitic rocks (Dike ( Geology )). It can also be found in rhyolite, gneisses, and schists which are very acidic (Topaz)." Topaz crystallizes from fluorine-rich vapor in the final stages of solidification of igneous rock" (Topaz). Topaz…

Intermolecular Forces Intermolecular forces are the result of attractive or repulsive forces between atoms, molecules or ions, primarily as a result of electrostatic attractions; these forces act between discrete molecules. Intermolecular forces are weak forces but without them life as we know it would not be possible: water vapor would not condense into its liquid (or solid forms) if its molecules did not attract each other, and all matter, in fact, would exist as gases. The physical states…

In experiment 2, we observed that the reaction of halogenoalkanes with aqueous alkali and water which contains dissolved silver nitrate. Halogenoalkanes are alkanes which have one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by halogen atoms such as fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I) which are the elements in group 7 in periodic table. Halogenoalkanes have the general formula, RX, whereby R is an alkyl or substituted alkyl group and X is any of the halogen atom. Besides, halogenoalkanes…
