is a naturally occurring element, but can also be extracted from common minerals. Sulfur has been in use since ancient times and is mentioned in the Bible and the Torah. http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts.com. In 1777, French chemist Antoine Lavoisier managed to convince the scientific community that sulfur was not a compound but in fact a basic element. The melting point of sulfur is 247.3 °F (119.6 °C) and the boiling point is 832.3 °F (444.6 °C). Sulfur is non-toxic in its pure element

Task 1- ATOMIC STRUCTURE ASSIGNMENT Introduction: Chemistry is a branch of physical science that deals with the matter and its composition and the properties of its composition. In Chemistry, Scientists often study particular atoms and their transformation from single atoms to bonds and their final phase or transition into actual chemical compounds. Chemistry has many diverse topics and goes particularly into bonds, structures and compounds. Compared to Physics, Chemistry and Biology, the study

Critically assess the significant developments in medicine in Britain between 1500 – 1948? The Dark Ages were characterised by stasis and of the rejection of anything new and potentially provocative in within society. Little wonder then, historians regard the sixteenth century as the Age of Enlightenment, with its rich and far-reaching innovations in almost every part of European culture, society, science, and political advances as well as spiritual freedom. With the Royal Navy making new affiliations

used passive solar which are direct solar gain and indirect solar gain to heat buildings (400 BC). Next, Romans improved it by using glass to absorb heat in the buildings and greenhouses (100 AD). And in 1700, Antoine LaVoisier built a solar heater. Later on, in 1839, French physicist Antoine-Cesar Becquerel observed that shining light on an electrode submerged in a conductive solution would create an electric current. Moreover, in 1860, the First Solar Motor, the heated water was used to drive a steam

the first person to find that the gas produces water when burned. This was a key experiment in disproving the Aristotelian theory of the four elements. As a consequence of his work he is given credit for its discovery as an element but it was Antoine Lavoisier who in 1783 named the element hydrogen (from the Greek hydro meaning water and genes meaning creator) after he reproduced Cavendish's findings. Hydrogen Isotopes Hydrogen exists as three known isotopes: protium, deuterium and tritium. Protium

Democritus was an ancient Greek philosopher, the exact details from his birth are not known but it is estimated to be born sometime around 450 BC in Abdera, Greece. It is believed that he was the scientist to create the first atomic theory (Coffey, 2010). He claimed that absolutely everything is made up from atoms and that the atom is was the smallest particle of matter (Bennett, 2012). He also stated that atoms are physically indivisible and indestructible they have been and always will be, there
