altitude we use for measuring the solar constant and insolation receipt. Beyond that altitude, the atmosphere is rarefied (nearly a vacuum) and is called the exosphere, which means "outer sphere." It contains scarce lightweight hydrogen and helium atoms, weakly bound by gravity as far as 32,000 km (20,000 mi) from Earth.Earth's modern atmosphere is in a series of imperfectly shaped concentric "shells" or "spheres" that grade into one another, all bound to the planet by gravity.As critical as the

has a much broader scope than a hypothesis. An element is a substance than cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical reaction Chapter 2: Chemistry for Biology • What is the difference between and element and a compound? An element is a substance than cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical reaction. Compounds are substances that contain two or more elements in a fixed ratio. 2. Draw a picture of an atom. Label the nucleus, protons, neutrons and electrons

compensated in the report. The concept of Radioactivity was found by a French physicist, Antoine Henri Becquerel. As most of the discoveries, this also was by a very honest observation and accidental. During the research of phosphorescent materials (The elements which glow in black). Studying Uranium for his research, he kept the uranium on the photographic film, it was a routine for him to hold it under the sunlight for some days and then examine it later. On a cloudy day, he kept the film and the uranium

1) General Halogens are a group of nonmetal elements from group 7 of the Periodic Table. It contains fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I) and astatine (At). Ununseptium (Uus) is an artificially created element and it is sometimes considered to be a halogen. Halogens have a valency of 1 and a halogen ion has a charge of 1-. Like other groups, there are similarities and trends (both physical and chemical) within the different elements in this group. Below is a table showing the

4 – Chapter 4 Questions 1) Describe the atom and the structure of materials. The structure of materials on the micro level consists of atoms, molecules and crystal structures. The nucleus is the center core of the atom. There are two parts of a nucleus and they consist of protons and neutrons. Protons contain a positive charge and neutrons contain no charge at all. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The remainder of the atom is made up of an electron field. Electrons are

of hydrogen compounds of elements in groups 14 through group 17. Question: What is the trend in boiling points of the hydrogen compounds of elements in groups 14-17? Hypothesis: a) I predict that group 14 will have the lowest boiling point for each number of electrons, 15 second, 16 third and 17 fourth. This is because as you follow the groups each one has one less bonded hydrogen which should make it more polar and harder to separate. I also predict that the element highest up in each group

negatively charged particles, this means that the number of electron is greater than the number of proton. This happens when an atom receive an electron from another molecule or atom. This negative charge will now allow anions to attract and interact with positive ions, which are Cation. When anions from a bond with a Cation, they form salts. Salts are inorganic molecules, it doesn’t have a lot of carbon and hydrogen. Salts dissolve well in water, and will separate into anions and Cations in this

John Dalton in his book “new systems of chemical philosophy.” Proposed that elements are composed of many discrete and invisible particles which are called atoms, atoms of the same element have identical properties and atoms of different elements have different properties. Compounds are composed of atoms of more than one element and also that a chemical reaction involves the separation, combining or rearranging of atoms. He was also responsible for part of the periodic table, as it was he who introduced
