CHEMISTRY SUMMARY Atoms are the basis of chemistry. Atoms are the smallest particles of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction and cannot be destroyed without losing its chemical identity. Atoms are composed of three fundamental particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. An atom consists of a small central nucleus, which contains the protons and neutrons. Around the nucleus are electrons, which continuously surround the nucleus (2, 8, 8, 18, 32). Protons are positively charged

Chemistry H Ch.7-8 Test Study Guide Ion formation, gain/lose electrons: - Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons and get charged. - If an atom gains electrons, an atom gets negatively charged (Anion). - Similarly if an atom looses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged (Cation). Ionic Compounds, properties: - A compound that is composed entirely of ions is called an ionic compound. - Ionic compounds are formed from a metal and a non-metal. - Ionic compounds

The Composition of Chemistry Abby Hackenberger Chemistry 110 June 14th, 2015 The Composition of Chemistry Chemistry is made up of so many different things, but at the core of it all is the understanding of the periodic nature and properties of atoms and molecules. The concepts of chemistry are based around these ideas as everything in chemistry is created from atoms. The understanding of the makeup of atoms has come a long way since the beginning. Now we know that atoms are made up of a nucleus

Chemistry Master Notes Covalent Bonding In a covalent bond electrons are shared between two atoms. Hydrogen is diatomic, energy is released when bonds are formed making H2 more stable. Molecules with a full outer shell become noble gas forms, very unreactive. Ionic Bonding Electrically charged ions are called Ions Positive = cation Negative = anion Metallic Bonding In the example of Na, the outer electron of each atom becomes ‘delocalised’ and free to

1. Which solvent or solvent mixture did you decide to use for your TLC? Why? The solvent we decided to use for our mixture was a 10 mL ethyl acetate with 10 mL of ethanol. We chose this solvent mixture because of the fact it brought out the most clear change on the TLC plate plus the solvent carried up the plate the fastest out of our 4 other mixtures. We needed these two things to get an accurate reading on our final. 2. Which pen matches the unknown ink? Provide a clear list of arguments as to

a significant number of preparatory courses should be completed prior to transfer. At minimum, you should complete one year of biology with laboratory, one year of general chemistry with laboratory, one year of calculus and one semester of organic chemistry with laboratory. Completion of a second semester of organic chemistry or one year of calculus-based physics is strongly recommended. Also, completion of one statistics course prior to transfer is recommended as preparation for upper division work

Over the past two years, the phrase “HIV cure” has flashed repeatedly across newspaper headlines. In March 2013, doctors from Mississippi reported that the disease had vanished in a toddler who was infected at birth. Four months later, researchers in Boston reported a similar finding in two previously HIV-positive men. All three were no longer required to take any drug treatments. The media heralded the breakthrough, and there was anxious optimism among HIV researchers. Millions of dollars of grant

Ever since I was a child I have always had a passion for chemistry. I find it quite intriguing how molecules and atoms react with one another. When I was a young little child, I was fascinated and curious about why chemical reactions occur the way they do. For example, I still to this day am enthralled by the way blue litmus paper turns the colour red when placed in an acidic solution. I believe I am a great candidate for the Chemical Process Engineering program because I am a person who is motivated
