illiteracy and how tackling literacy has a very real and measurable impact on the growth of an economy. 3. DISCUSSION 3.1 DEFINITION OF ILLITERACY Complete illiteracy means a person cannot read or write at all. Of equal relevance is the concept of functional illiteracy, which means an individual may have basic reading, writing and numerical skills but cannot apply them to accomplish tasks that are necessary to make informed choices and participate fully in everyday life. Such tasks may include:

& APPLICATIONS | Amide is a group of organic chemicals with the general formula RCO-NH2 in which a carbon atom is attached to oxygen in solid bond and also attached to an hydroxyl group, where 'R' groups range from hydrogen to various linear and ring structures or a compound with a metal replacing hydrogen in ammonia such as sodium amide, NaNH2. Amides are divided into subclasses according to the number of substituents on nitrogen. The primary amide is formed from by replacement of the carboxylic hydroxyl

Santo Tomas, España Boulevard, 1015 Manila, Philippines Abstract In organic chemistry it is very common to see molecules comprised mainly of a carbon backbone with functional groups attached to the chain. The functional group gives the molecule its properties, regardless of what molecule contains it.[1] Examples of functional groups are that of hydroxyl (-OH) which is usually seen in alcohols, and carbonyl (C=0) which is seen in aldehydes and ketones. In this experiment, several tests were conducted

The SN2 reaction can be evaluated by first observing the chemical mechanisms of the compounds involved. The agents took into account for the mechanism was the naphtholate anion and allyl bromide. First, a pair of lone pairs on the oxygen anion on the naphtholate compound attacks a single-bonded carbon on the allyl bromide compound. Afterwards, the bromide leaving group exits the allyl bromide compound, and creates its own anion cloud. Overall, this synthesizes naphthyl ether. The mechanism cannot

As discussed in class, functional behavior assessment (FBA) is the process of determining the cause, or “function”, of behavior before developing an intervention. The intervention must be based on the hypothesized cause, or function, of the behavior. This specific assessment focused primarily on my boyfriend who has a habit of smoking cigarettes. I used a variety of functional behavior assessment tools, such as an ABC data sheet, functional analysis screening tools (FAST), and a motivational assessment
