1. Explain the connection between your health and what you breathe. -Clean unpolluted air keeps us alive and healthy, that is why it’s important for us to keep our environment clean 2. Describe air in terms of its major components, their relative amounts, and the local and regional variations in the composition of air. -Major components of air are: nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The composition of air by volume is about 78% nitrogen, 21%oxygen, and

transfer of charged particles (electrons) is responsible for all chemical bonding. Physics is used to describe the physical characteristics of the new material, and physics sets the standards (of strength, density, malleability, etc.) against which the material under development is tested. The principles of chemistry come into play when choosing the elements and compounds used to develop the new material, based on their various chemical properties. 2. How do conductors and insulators differ in their

Memo To: Senior Managers, Global Computer Solutions From: Lynette K. Lee, Vice President of Human Resources Date: October 5, 2012 Subject: Polarity Management: Autocratic vs. Participatory Management You’ve heard the term polar opposites it is used to describe objects, situations, or even people that are very different. North and South poles; yin and yang, dark and light are just a few of the hundreds of phrases used to illustrate polar opposites and their distinct differences

Chemical periodicity Lorem V. Mendoza ------------------------------------------------- .ABSTRACT ------------------------------------------------- When elements are arranged in the order of increasing atomic number, their physical and chemical properties recur periodically. This periodicity stems from the valence electronic configurations of the elements. This arrangement of the elements on the order of increasing atomic number with the elements having similar properties placed in vertical

Stoichiometry is simply the math behind chemistry. Given enough information, one can use stoichiometry to calculate masses, moles, and percents within a chemical equation. ________________________________________ ________________________________________ What is a Chemical Equation? In chemistry, we use symbols to represent the various chemicals. Success in chemistry depends upon developing a strong familiarity with these basic symbols. For example, the symbol "C"represents an atom of carbon, and

firm, there are still controversies exposed by the news. A Greenpeace campaigner, Frauzel, (2011) wrote a report to expose that H&M’s suppliers discharge toxic water into China’s rivers, and that H&M’s clothing contains hazardous substances and chemicals, even the children’s clothes. The following paragraphs will analyze the unethical issue and give the solutions and evaluations. The case The situation and key fact H&M has become a second largest fashion retailer, but it is criticized by

Introduction to Chemistry I (MAE1106) Chapter 1: Properties, Measurement and Units Matter: All things we can see, or touch, whether books, pencils, telephones, or people as they have some thing in common. They are all composed of matter which is defined as anything that takes up space and has mass. Matter is generally considered to be a substance (often a particle) that has rest mass and (usually) also volume. Mass and weight are not really the same. The mass of a body is a measure of its

understanding it’s fundamentals until the chemical revolution. By the 16th century there had been many advances in the field later to be known as chemistry; smelting and refining of metals, the production of glass ware, pottery and dyes, the development of explosives, artists’ materials, and medicines (Butterfield, 191). Despite the production of these materials, they are not enough to be attributed to a science. As Butterfield suggests, the results of early chemical experiments lacked “adequate intellectual
