    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 same year that he discovered the element. Three years later Scheele published his findings on the element. There is a lot of debating in the world of science on who discovered Oxygen first. Most of the credit is given to Priestley or both him and…

    used in many industries including mining and iron and steel production. Additionally, cyanide treats wastewater. According to Wu, F. et al. (2014), socio economics status would be a factor likely to increase exposure of foodborne toxicity because people with low-income consume only one or two foods. On the other hand, children under 18 years old are at high risk in toxicological effects of cyanide since they are immature and differ from adult (ATSDR, 2006). Cyanide compounds would be lethal…

    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…
