CHM 111 (Introductory Chemistry I) - Atomic Theory and Nature of Atoms

ATOMIC THEORY AND NATURE OF ATOMS Chemistry studies the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter has been defined as anything that has weight and can occupy space. All materials are made up of matter. For centuries, philosopher, chemist and physicist tried to answer the question of what matter was made up of using a variety of experiments and observations. 1.1 THE EARLY IDEAS OF THE ATOM In 440BC a Greek philosopher named Democritus came up with a conceived idea that matter...

BIO 102: Plant and Flower

Structural Adaptations are the way something is built or made. While Behavioural Adaptations are the way something behaves naturally or by instinct. 

BIO 102: PRACTICAL MANUAL

A biodiversity audit is a way to investigate, count and record what flora, fauna is present in an area. Conducting a biodiversity audit at your school will help you identify if you have a healthy eco system or if you need to add habitat for a category of animal to make it a healthier animal. 

Carbohydrates, Proteins, Vitamins and Minerals

There are seven classes of the nutrients the body needs. These are carbohydrates, proteins, fats and oil, vitamins, minerals and water, and fiber. It is important to consume these seven nutrients on a daily basis to build and maintain health. 

CHM 110: Elements and Periodicity (1)

The elements are found in various state of matter and define the independent state of constituents of atoms, ions and simple substances and compounds. Isotopes with the same atomic number belong to the same elements. When elements are classified into groups according to the similarities of their properties as atoms or compounds the periodic table of the elements emerges.

CHM 120 Isolation of Organic Compounds

Sources of Organic Compounds • The leading sources are i) Coal is formed from wood millions of years ago through the following coalification stages: wood peat lignite subbituminous coal bituminous coal anthracite coal ii) Petroleum (crude oil) and Natural gas – organic compounds can be obtained from petroleum (crude oil) which contains mainly saturated, unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. Solvent Extraction • Coal is extracted by digestion with solvents such as tetracloromethane,...

Chm 120: Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Cycloalkanes and Aromatic hydrocarbons

However large the group concerned one of its many possible arrangements can still be designated by this simple system. The prefix n is used to designate any alkaline group in which all carbons form a single continuous chain and in which the point of attachment is very end carbon. 

Modern Design Assignment: Designing the Best Shape and Size for Ice

The surface area of a three-dimension object is the total area of its surface that is exposed on the outside while its volume is the space inside the shape. For the purpose of comparison of the Volume to Surface area for the three shapes, we can assume the total surface area for each shape to be 38 cm2. This is derived from the assumption of an average size of a cube has a side length of approximately 2.5 centimeters (cm)
