In today’s day and age, plastic surgery is extremely popular, especially breast augmentations. About 4% of women in America get breast augmentation each year. One of the options for breast augmentation is silicon implants. That being said I wanted to learn more about silicon and what people are putting in their bodies. Silicon is an element a pure substance that can’t be broken down. Silicon was first discovered in 1824 by a Swedish chemist named Jons Jacob Berzelius. This element is the second…

Why There Are No Pure Elements From Group 1 & 7 Group 1 elements are alkali metals which are very soft and reacts with metals well. The elements reacts very strongly with water. As you down the elements of group one, the reactivity increases. However, group 7 are halogens which are reactive, but they are metal. They are also different from group one as their reactivity decreases as you go down. Also, the elements becomes darker as you go down the group. Chemical reactions of group 1: The…

1) A description of the assignments for ENGL 2311. This will be sent to your fellow students to introduce them to the class. The first situation should use the chronological organizational pattern. The sentence also said it is a description of the assignments. Also its purpose is to introduce students to the class for a professor’s job. 2) An evaluation of the three most important changes you would like to see occur with ENGL 2311. This will be sent to your instructor to improve the class.…

of the elements in the periodic table (the way elements with common traits are grouped together), we will determine the name and location of each unknown element by clustering said elements with other known elements that they share the most characteristics with. In this lab we will momentarily fill the shoes of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who was the first to observe the patterns between elements arranged according to their properties. His periodic table left room for then undiscovered…

of about 20.180. This element was discovered by Sir William Ramsay in 1898 and contributions also came from Morris Travers. I will go into greater detail about how they discovered neon later into the essay. Neon’s atomic number on the periodic table is 10. It is also odorless, colorless, and non-toxic. As I stated earlier, neon was discovered at the University College London by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers in 1898. However, this was not the first element discovered by…

what the longest word in the English language is. It’s also known as “titan” and is the name of a protein. The book went over every possible aspect that the periodic table could be used for. The book discusses the ancient uses of antimony, and how they can be used as laxatives. I also learned that there was gaps in the periodic table at one point, and this is because some of the elements were unstable and could not be found in nature. They had to be artificially created in a…

My chemical element is Sulfur. If you were to be looking at a periodic table, its symbol would be S. Sulfur’s atomic number is 16. Sulfur has 16 protons, 16 electrons, and 16 neutrons. Sulfur’s atomic mass is 32.065 and its mass number is 32. Sulfur comes from the Sanskrit word “Sulvere” and also the latin word “Sulphurium”. Sulfur was discovered in Ancient times and has been mentioned in both the Bible and the Torah. Sulfur is commonly found in meteorites, volcanoes, hot springs, and as…

of water. The depth at which the soil spaces become saturated with water is known as the water table. Potable Water: Water that can be consumed by humans without risk of immediate or long-term harm. Soil Salinity: There are two forms of soil salinity: dryland salinity (occurs on un-irrigated land) and irrigated land salinity. Both occur as a result of massive tree clearing, which raises the water table with the subsequent dissolving and moving of the salt from deep in the earth upwards, where it…

Phineas Taylor Barnum, or better known as "P. T." Barnum, described as a “jack of all trades” is an understatement. As a self-made businessman (or scammer), showman (or humbug), newspaper editor (or libeler), he lived a life of exhausted passion and success. He tells his own story in his autobiography, The Life of P.T. Barnum of living in 19th century America. P.T. Barnum’s optimistic and exuberant charisma certainly helped him make a profit, yet that alone did not gain him the title of a…
