particles literally fly apart 3. The difference between pure substances and mixtures: * pure substance: contains only one type of particle * element: a pure substance that can not be broken down into a simpler chemical substance by any physical or chemical means * compound: a pure substance composed of 2 or more different elements that are chemically joined * mixture: contains 2 or more types of particles * mechanical mixture: a mixture in which you can distinguish between

manganese to create this. In order to get magnetism out of these metals, scientists use what’s called a buckyball. A buckyball is a molecule that’s completely carbon. This soccer-ball-shaped molecule has strong electron affinity which is similar to electronegativity. The carbon atoms are able to accept electrons from the metals and can be measured. Essentially these carbon atoms pull the electrons out of an adjacent metal. The scientists take these buckyballs and make a thin layer of them, followed by a

Hydrogen Hydrogen is the first element of the Periodic table, and is represented by the symbol H. It is the lightest element, weighing on average 1.00794 amu (atomic mass units), and it mostly consists of one proton and one electron, with no neutrons. It bonds with almost every other element of the periodic table, and is the most important component of organic matter, after carbon. The discovery of hydrogen Hydrogen gas was first artificially synthesized by Phillip von Hohenheim (known as

The periodic table can give the majority of information on any elements. Based on the reading all matter is composed of elements, which are substances that cannot be broken down into other substances. Looking at Nitrogen, we can see that the atomic number is seven (number of protons in the nucleus), the symbol is N, and the atomic weight of Nitrogen is 14.01. Nitrogen is one of four elements that make up living cells. A Nitrogen atom has protons and neutron in the central nucleus with two electrons

M1: Metallic bonding: Atoms within a solid metal are held together by metallic bonding, a metal bond is an electromagnetic attraction between electrons (delocalised so they’re shared between all the atoms in the structure, a sea of electrons) and the positive ions held within the lattice. The positive ions become attracted to these free electrons which form the lattice, this lattice structure and their metallic bonding gives them high melting points and good electrical conductivity properties. Due

Hygienic solutions, such as soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, are comprised of complex formulas that pertain to the periodic table of elements, chemical reactions, and chemical bonds. The purpose of this paper is to show the relationship between complex, every-day hygienic solutions and their chemistry. Behind these complex substances, are a series of chemical bonds and a variety of chemical and physical properties. Shampoos, soaps, and conditioners are all Arrhenius acids or bases because they

chemical nature of the elements and their compounds (except hydrocarbons—compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen). Involves substance that do not contain carbon or substances from non-living things. 2. Organic Chemistry, branch of chemistry in which carbon compounds and their reactions are studied. A wide variety of classes of substances—such as drugs, vitamins, plastics, natural and synthetic fibers, as well as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—consist of organic molecules.
