atoms of a particular chemical element, which have differing numbers of neutrons. Atoms of a particular element by definition must contain the same number of protons but may have a distinct number of neutrons which differs from atom to atom, without changing the designation of the atom as a particular element. The number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus, known as the mass number, is not the same for two isotopes of any element. Components of nucleic acid 1). DNA = deoxyribonucleic

Acids and Bases Acids are substances that produce protons, H+. Bases are substances that produce hydroxide ions, OH-. Acids taste sour, react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas, and cause certain organic dyes to change color. Acids also react with limestone, CaCO3, to produce carbon dioxide and react with bases to from salts and water. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery or soapy, and react with oil and grease. Also, bases cause certain organic dyes to change color and reacts with acids

Background: The Disappearing Spoon written by Sam Kean, informs readers about the importance of the periodic table and how it is important than what people really believe. In this book he talks about how the periodic table is not a table with numbers and letters. It is full of stories and interesting facts, which makes it standout. This book is more likely written for science and chemistry student and can not leave out the outstanding teachers for example Mrs. Nix. Summary: The reason Sam Kean

Batteries A battery is a combination of cells either in series or parallel or both, in order to get the required amount of electrical energy. It is a portable source of electrical energy. The galvanic cells used to form batteries can be classified as: 1.Primary cells: In these cells, the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy as long as the chemical components are active. 2.Secondary cells: In these cells, the redox reaction that converts chemical energy into electrical energy can be

Problem Set Chapter 12 Solutions February 12, 2013 12.37 What product(s) would you expect from the reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with NBS? First step is to form an allylic radical; however, you have two different allylic protons that can be abstracted. Once you form those, bromination at those positions gives products 1 and 2. Each of those allylic radicals can also undergo resonance stabilization to delocalize the radical. Bromination at the other side of the double bond then gives products

surface of the earth and other similar planets, exposed on the surface or underlying the soil or oceans * Know how atoms of the same element are related. Atoms of the same element must have the same number of protons which is the atomic number. What do they have in common? They all have protons * Know definitions for the following terms: valence electrons, an electron of an atom, located in the outermost shell (valence shell) of the atom, that can be transferred to or shared with another atom.

Drug-Induced Osteoporosis: A Review of Medications That Affect Bone Mineral Density Drug-induced osteoporosis is common and may result in significant morbidity and mortality for patients. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined osteoporosis as bone density less than 2.5 standard deviations (SD) of the mean gender-matched, young healthy population (T-score at or below -2.5). Osteopenia is defined as loss of bone with T-score between -1 and -2.5.1 Many drugs have the potential to decrease

several ways: by open pit, underground, in-situ leaching, and borehole mining. Properties Uranium is a silvery-white metallic chemical element in the actinide series of the periodic table, with symbol U and atomic number 92. A uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons, with six of them valence electrons. Uranium is weakly radioactive because all its isotopes are unstable. When refined, uranium is a silvery white, weakly radioactive metal, which is harder than most elements. It is malleable, ductile

other dissolved compounds in seawater. • Ocean water salinity, temperature, and density vary with depth. Water's structure defines its many properties • Atoms – building blocks of all matter • Subatomic particles – Protons – Neutrons – Electrons • Number of protons distinguishes chemical elements Water is a molecule • Strong covalent bonds between one hydrogen (H) and (two) oxygen (O) atoms • A single molecule of water is stable. • H20 is dipolar – Bent shape gives water
