It is by far the most abundant element in the universe and makes up above 90% of Universe by weight. Hydrogen as water (H2O) is absolutely essential to life and it is present in all organic compounds. Hydrogen is lightest gas. Hydrogen gas was used in lighter-than-air balloons for transport but is far too dangerous because

EXTRACTION OF DNA FROM ONIONS ABSTRACT The purpose of the experiment was to experience firsthand the isolation of DNA form a plant tissue without destroying its structure and sequence. A white onion was used for the experiment. After several processes‚ DNA isolate was the visible result. Different chemical tests were performed on the DNA isolate‚ namely: Dische Test‚ Murexide Test‚ Wheeler-Johnson test and Test for Phosphate. Visible results were then noted.

Chemistry All about matter There are three different stages of matter: Solid‚ Liquid and Gas Solid (s): Have a certain volume and shape. “Particles” are arranged in a specific crystalline patter and they only vibrate around fixed positions. Liquid (l): Have a fixed volume‚ but not shape. The particles have some freedom and can move around each other. They collide often. Gas (g): Doesn’t have a fix volume or shape. (Takes up the space where it is) Particles move freely in all space available

Preparation u Alcohols when heated in presence of H2SO4‚ H3PO4‚ P2O5‚ Al2O3 or BF3 undergo loss of water molecule with the formation of alkene. Conc. H2SO4 180oC H3PO4/P2O5 200oC Al2O3/BF3 350oC CH3-CH=CH2 + H2O CH3-CH2-CH2-OH CH3-CH=CH2 + H2O CH3-CH=CH2 + H2O u u Mechanism: In the first step OH group of the alcohol is protonated in a fast reversible reaction. Unlike OH group‚ protonated OH group is a good leaving group. Step 1: CH3 CH3-C-CH3 + H+ HO CH3 CH3-C-CH3 H2O+

THE PERIODIC TABLE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The idea that all things are elements or combinations of elements can be found in the writings of the ancient Greeks and other early peoples. Although this idea may seem simple‚ it is very difficult to decide if a substance is indeed an element or a compound. There were twelve chemical elements discovered in ancient times‚ but it was not known that they were elements. Another 76 elements were discovered between 1557 and 1925. Many mistakes were made in

Abstract Tamoxifen‚ most commonly sold under the brand name Nolvadex‚ is the most widely used drug in the treatment of breast cancer during both early and late stages. It belongs to a class of drugs known as SERMs (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators). SERMs work by blocking the estrogen receptors in breast cells to prevent any binding with estrogen. It is consumed orally as a tablet or as a liquid (Anon.‚ 2017). The following paper discusses the discovery of Tamoxifen‚ its laboratory synthesis

His followers would often think that there were multiple kinds of atoms and not just plain atoms. 2.2 – How Do We Classify Matter? Elements – A substance that consists of identical atoms. Today there are 116 known elements. Example – C= Carbon; H= Hydrogen Compounds – A pure substance made up of two or more elements

PHILIPPINES DATE SUBMITTED: 3 JANUARY 2012 DATE PERFORMED: 8 DECEMBER 2011 ------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT Alkyl halides are molecules which have a carbon atom attached to a halogen atom (e.g.‚ chlorine‚ iodine‚ or bromine.) Alkyl halides are very important since they are used in many of the products used today. They can be synthesized by means of adding alcohols to hydrogen halides (such as HCl‚ HI‚ or HBr) resulting in nucleophilic substitution (specifically the SN1
