The Chemistry of H2O. Principles of the Octet Rule, Electronegativity, Polarity, Density, and their effect on H2O Aryeh L. Strauss Suny Rockland Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge (neutrons are neutral). The protons are in the nucleus of the atom and the electrons fill shells surrounding the nucleus. The shells closest to the nucleus have the lowest energy level and the shells furthest away have the…

pristine (C60)2 fullerene. In Fig.7 the transmission function curve of (C59N)2 molecule is indicated. It is seen that a high transmission peak is formed at the Fermi level. Because the LUMO level of each C60 molecule is partially filled due to the excess charge of N atom.One might expect that the current increase meaningfully with B:B doping as well as N:N doping.Because B atom has one less electron than C atom, therefore doping one B atom…

about electric chargers that do not move. Static electricity is one of the many things that are covered in electrostatics. An object that has accumulated electric charge has static electricity (“Electricity for kids”, 1). The charges are not on the move nor do they flow from one place to another. It is easy to remember that the charges don’t move in static electricity, because static can be tied to the word stationary. The word stationary means that an object does not change its position and…

opposite of an electron or antielectron is a positron it has a positive charge. Protons and neutrons help classify atoms and elements. Atomic number is the amount of protons, it also is the amount of electrons. Atomic mass is the amount of protons and neutrons. Leptons are half-integers spin that does not undergo many interactions. There are two types, ones with negative charges, like electrons, and ones with a neutral charge, like neutrons. These are a type of antimatter. Usually atoms are…

particles collide, they build up large electrical fields in the clouds. A “spark” occurs whenever these electric fields become large enough to produce static electricity. The static electricity reduces the charge separation. The spark made…

with positive and negative charges. JJ Thomson (1856-1940), taking and perfecting this knowledge with his experiment, is recognized with calculating the ratio of electron charge to mass and the first model of atomic structure to account for the positive and negative sub-particles. Thomson measured the amount of magnetic force needed to exactly counterbalance the deflection of a strong beam of electrons projected between charged plates. He used this to find the ratio of charge to mass of an…

One of my favorite philosophers in Sophie's World was Democritus. Democritus discovered atoms, tiny invisible blocks he thought that everything was made of; eternal and immutable. Democritus was also a materialist, someone who believes that nothing exists but physical matter. The philosopher, Alberto Knox, has asked Sophie “Why is Lego the most ingenious toy in the world?” The next day, he sends her a green packet talking about Democritus. Lego blocks are a great deal like atoms. Democritus…

Magnetic propulsion Magnetic propulsion refers the use magnetic energy to move objects from one point to another. Due to increased demand for clean energy, the use of electromagnetic propulsion will also be a new way of powering the future vehicles. This method employs the use of electrical current to create an opposing magnetic field that results in repulsion. The electromagnetic propulsion has been in use in motors to create a rotational force which drives the vehicles wheel forward. However…

be a variety of different minerals which are referred as salts. These salts include sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine, phosphorus and others. These salts all possess electric charges, the number of positive and negative charged particles are equally balanced. Therefore, it has no resultant charge which is neutral. The correct balance of salts is crucial to maintain the proper functioning of the human body as salts not only control your fluid balance, but it also controls how the…

misinterpretation can invariably influence the overall accuracy of the experiment. A salt bridge keeps charges from accumulating on one side or the other, thus maintaining charge neutrality. Failure to attach a salt bridge to each half cell causes the solution in the anode compartment to be positively charged and the solution in the cathode compartment would become negatively charged, because of the charge imbalance the electrode reaction would quickly come to a halt. Precision of this…
