THE UNIVERSE When we look up in the night sky we can see the stars and the moon. And because it is natural to be curious, we ask questions and we want answers. When our view was limited by what our eyes could see, the sky was our Universe. Then the telescopes deepened our view, photography enhanced it, and spectroscopy broadened it. The universe grew from a sky of stars to a realm of galaxies, to an expanding universe of galaxies. Many people believe that nature, the sun and moon, the star,

Chemistry Unit 2 AS Group 7, the halogens - Physical properties, fluorine is a pale yellow gas, chlorine a greenish gas, bromine a red-brown liquid and iodine a black solid o Fluorine is small and leads to the repulsion between non-bonding electrons because they are so close together o The atoms get bigger as we go down the group because each element has one extra filled main level of electrons compared with the one above it |Halogen |Atomic

1/ ENERGY BANDS IN SOLIDS In this chapter we begin with a review of the basic atomic properties of matter leading to discrete electronic energy levels in atoms. We find that these energy levels are spread into energy bands in a crystal. This band structure allows us to distinguish between an insulator, a semiconductor, and a metal. 1-1 CHARGED PARTICLES The charge, or quantity, of negative electricity and the mass of the electron have been found to be 1.60 X 10- 19 C (coulomb) and 9.11

ART APOCALYPSE AND MILLENIALISM (Name) (Institution affiliation) (Course) (Date) APOCALYPSE AND MILLENIALISM Introduction As the societies embrace the turn of a millennium, there is, historically, a perceived notion that this is a portentous time- a time of jubilation, may be, but on equal grounds, and may be more persistently, a time of apprehension. Five hundred year cycles system appears to be as significant as the thousand year cycles

Answers to Conceptual Integrated Science End-of-Chapter Questions Chapter 1: About Science Answers to Chapter 1 Review Questions 1 The era of modern science in the 16th century was launched when Galileo Galilei revived the Copernican view of the heliocentric universe, using experiments to study nature’s behavior. 2 In Conceptual Integrated Science, we believe that focusing on math too early is a poor substitute forconcepts. 3 We mean that it must be capable of being proved wrong. 4 Nonscientific
