For this reason, players like Bonds have not been voted into the Hall of Fame. Some voters do not want the Hall of Fame to be the home to cheaters, which in turn makes sense, but, how can a person not believe that the home run king should not be in the Hall of Fame? Voters believe the…

People are often overly focused on injuries in football that they forget injuries in other sports for example baseball. Baseball for the most part is considered a non-contact sport and therefore people overlook the amount of injuries that occur. There are three major injuries which have been a cause for concern for baseball in America, the amount of Tommy John surgeries for pitchers, the neighborhood play, and protecting the catcher. With the increase participation in single sport…

Why small covalent substances have different properties from macro molecules? • Simple covalent substances will only contain a few atoms that are held by strong covalent bonds for example co2 the molecules contain one atom of carbon that is bonded with 2 oxygen atoms. The intermolecular forces causes the small covalent structures to have a low melting/boiling points, they don’t conduct electricity because they don’t have any free electrons or an electric charge overall. • Macro molecules will…

James Bond poster for the film ‘thunderball’ (image above) clearly depicts the man as the strong main focus of the image. However, in contrast the women are seen to be worshiping Bond and posing for him, displaying them as weak, sexual objects. Contrary to this, women have gradually become more independent in cinema. In the James Bond film ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ (2004) Halle Barry has been given a professional occupation where she is also seen to have successful cholesterics’. In the older Bond…

Steroids have always been a negative influence in sports,but what if they didn’t have to be? Studies have shown that spectators enjoy watching athletes play at a higher level. Professional athletes should be allowed to use performance enhancing drugs because spectators are paying to see an athlete perform at their very best, the most entertaining and the most competitive. As a viewer you are paying to see an athlete perform at their respected sport, meaning they should be able to perform at…

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…

radicals are molecules that have at least one unpaired electron. They are typically very reactive, due to their odd number of electrons. These molecules tend to try and gain or lose electrons so their highest energy levels can be filled. They will bond with other compounds in the body, sometimes combining with them, or even taking parts of intact molecules, resulting in even more free radicals (Walling). Free radicals can be formed by natural body processes, such as metabolism. They can…

The atomic radius will slowly decrease as you move across a period on the periodic table; this is caused by the addition of protons found in the nuclei of the elements. For every new proton being added, several electrons will also be included into this process by joining the identical energy level (ultimately accounting for one electron per element in said period). The electrons then attract the protons, whilst failing to shield from or repulse this attraction. Given the above information, the…

occurs when atoms share pairs of electrons. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which are gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most valence electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability (Chem wiki) Nonmetals will readily form covalent bonds with other nonmetals in order to obtain stability, and can form anywhere between one to three covalent bonds with other nonmetals depending on how many valence…

healthy bond that forms between Laila and Mariam determines their end actions and decisions in order to save and protect each other from social injustice and the endless cycle of abuse. Laila and Mariam develop an unbreakable bond, which motivates them to abolish gender inequality. Mariam and Laila alternate roles from being a daughter to a mother for each other. Both characters show the willingness to put themselves first in a perilous situation. The method of forming healthy maternal bonds,…
