The Elements

chemical formula of a compound will be determined using the mass of each individual element that is present in a weighed sample of that compound. The chemical formula shows the proportions of elements in a specific compound. This proportion is uniform to all samples of the same compound. Using the mass of each element, the moles of the element in the compound can be found and then compared to that of the other elements. This will create our atom ratio which will lead to our mole ratio. The mole…

Utilizing our comprehension of the arrangement 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…

organizing elements by atomic numbers and chemical properties into groups and periods. The periodic table was created in order to easily find and classify the different elements that are known. Elements are pure substances composed of just one type of atom that cannot be broken down into anything simpler by ordinary chemical means. Some examples are Oxygen, Carbon, Gold, and Silver. [Source A] An atomic number is the number of protons or electrons in an atom, the number that appears over the…

the elements on the periodic table. The Disappearing Spoon focusses on the history of the Periodic Table by telling stories that show how each element affected the scientists that discovered it. For each element, Kean supplies an extensive backstory for its foundation, the common (or uncommon) uses of the element and other useful factoids about the matter. The author begins the novel with a physical description of the Periodic Table as a whole; he discusses the names of the groups of elements…

I am researching the element, boron. The symbol of boron is a just a capital B. The atomic number of boron is 5. Boron’s mass is 10.811 grams. Boron has 5 protons, 6 neutrons, and 5 electrons. The Periodic Table lists elements in numerical order from the smallest atomic number to the largest atomic number. That is why boron is the 5th element on the Periodic Table. It comes after beryllium and before carbon. Boron was discovered on June 30th in 1808. It was discovered by French chemists,…

table of elements” on the base of periodic repetition of properties. In 1864, before Mendeleev, and John Newlands arranged the elements in order of atomic mass where every eight elements has similar properties. He called the relationship “the law of octaves”. Even so, this law could not be applied for the elements beyond Calcium, so it was not accepted by the scientific community. The modern periodic table is thought to be the outermost ground-state electron configuration of the elements. The…

could even write they knew some of the elements that are on the periodic table. The elements include silver, gold, copper, tin, lead, and mercury (substances that could not be broken down chemically). Not until 1649 did a man by the name of Hennig Brand discover phosphorous (an element) through scientific experiments and research. Another scientist, Johann Dobereiner, had begun to group elements with properties alike in the years of 1817 to 1829. He grouped elements into threes, or triads, and…

proximity of Carthage’s production to Shakespeare’s original text. This essay will begin with a detailed description of the College of Lake County’s production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest with the goal of evaluating the traditional and nontraditional elements of the show. Subsequently, the similarities and differences between CLC’s the Tempest and Carthage’s the Breathe of Stars will be considered in order to generate…

substances has the properties it does is a subject called chemistry.” Chemistry involves many things, from atoms to elements and their functions. It is a wide field of science with an extensive early and modern history. It also involves chemical reactions, and what they are. Chemistry consists of many complex processes and objects. Some of the most important parts of chemistry are atoms, elements, and properties. Atoms are the particles that make up everything, from a chair…

Phase Diagram and Phase Transformation Fig. 1 shows (FCC) Nickel-(BCC) Chromium binary phase diagram. The eutectic reaction takes place at 1345°C and the composition is 51% Cr and 49% Ni. The solid solubility of Cr in Ni is extensive which is evident from the phase diagram. Phase transformations of two Ni-Cr alloys are explained below. One is Ni40Cr60 (Line 2) which is closer to eutectic composition and contains greater % Cr and the other alloy is Ni68Cr32 (Line 1) which contains greater % Ni.…
