The Fifth Element

Cast Iron is processed to remove impurities or slag and is turned into a steel alloy. Therefore steel is an alloy and Iron is an element. Steel is also called as an alloy of iron, with the content of carbon controlled. 4% of carbon in Iron makes it Cast Iron and when the carbon content is less than 2%, the product is steel. Cast Iron is made from pig iron, which is the by-product of…

Water is a transparent, odourless, tasteless liquid, a compound of hydrogen and oxygen freezing at 30°F or 0°C and boiling at 212°F or 100°C, that in a more or less impure state constitutes rain, oceans, lakes, rivers etc; it contain 11188% of hydrogen and 88.812% of oxygen by weight. (Dictionary.com) The Earth is surrounded by 70% of water, however, that 70% is composed of salt water and fresh water. The salt water is made up of 97% and fresh water is 3%. 2% of the fresh water is frozen up in…

NiCd is the chemical abbreviation for the composition of Nickel-Cadmium batteries, which are a type of secondary (rechargeable) batteries. Nickel-Cadmium batteries contain the chemicals Nickel (Ni) and Cadmium (Cd), in various forms and compositions. The nickel-cadmium battery, invented by Waldmar Jungner in 1899, offered several advantages over the then only rechargeable battery, lead acid, but the materials were expensive and the early use was restricted. Developments lagged until 1932 when…

Marie Curie's research and experiments of radioactive elements lead her to create the foundation for radiotherapy and the first radiology cars. Radiology cars were ambulances with x-rays inside this was introduced in World War 1. Radiology cars were tremendously successful saving millions of wounded soldiers…

1. Is mercury an appropriate target for AGI? Why or why not? Please clearly cite examples for your reasons. (10 points) There are many reasons that mercury is an appropriate target for AGI. • Both companies are in the same industry of footwear products. • First off the two companies have differentiating strategies and markets that they sell to. AGI will be adding a new market to their company goals and increasing their revenue streams. • AGI strives in the casual footwear segment with a…

Our prior knowledge and mindset can define the way we approach new knowledge and experiences; we see what we believe, each letting our schemas have an affect on the conclusions that we draw from situations. Our perception of what occurs and the way we go about our motives are based off of a previous inclination or concept towards the situation we are preparing to encounter. This schema is useful in helping us organize and interpret information based off of our previous experiences or lessons,…

The only difference is that there has been many more elements added. Mendeleeve also had predicted a lot of the characteristics and properties of elements that would fill up some of the spaces that he left in his periodic table. Many scientists were later able to find out if these predictions were correct or not. As it turned out, most of Mendeleeve’s predictions were correct and that made it easier because they could just leave that element in that space. Mendeleeve was very smart when…

Zinc is the member of the first row transition series of elements, consisting of Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Hg. All these elements belong to group 12 of periodic table. Zinc has an atomic number 30, an atomic mass of 65 and one main oxidation state (+2). Zinc has five nature isotopes . Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in the earth’s crust. Its properties is very similar to Cd.Zinc is very useful in biological systems. Zinc also is involved in many biochemical processes that…

Why didn't scientists at the University of California at Berkley call element 97 and 98, Universitium and Ofium, respectively? (1 mark) Scientists at the University of California at Berkeley did not call elements 97 and 98 as ‘Universitium’ and ‘Ofium’ because they were worried that New Yorkers might name the next two ‘newium’ and ‘yorkium’, making the phrase “University of New York” rather…

also create elements. Currently, there are organized on a chart known as the periodic table, one such element is Germanium. In fact, Germanium has a symbol known as Ge. A symbol is a shorter way to represent the element. All elements have a symbol, atomic mass, atomic number, and a number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Germanium’s atomic mass is 72.64, this is the amount of mass in each atom that’s in Germanium. The atomic number for Germanium is 32, which represents where the element is…
