joined together. * Addition – mers joined without the loss of atoms (presence of unsaturated carbons). * Condensation – mers joined through the loss of atoms from the functional groups of each monomer. Radioactive isotopes: * Everything with an atomic number over 82 is radioactive. * Unstable nuclei; too many neutrons:protons‚ large nuclei * Cobalt 60 formed by neutron bombardment. Detection: * Photographic film – exposes film * Geiger counter – alpha particles ionize

Nuclear Advancements After the Manhattan Project When the first atomic bomb was detonated in Alamogordo New Mexico on June 16‚ 1945‚ all the scientists involved in the Manhattan Project understood the great destructive power of radio-active isotopes. Although the atomic bomb was a very destructive force our world would not be as good without it. Because of the government funding involved in the project coupled with the need for an atom bomb‚ much research that otherwise may not have occurred

The history of the periodic table reflects over a century of growth in the understanding of chemical properties‚ and culminates with the publication of the first actual periodic table by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869.[1] While Mendeleev built upon earlier discoveries by such scientists as Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier and Stanislao Cannizzaro‚ the Russian scientist is generally given sole credit for development of the actualperiodic table itself. The table itself is a visual representation of the periodic

The Arrangement of Electrons in the Atom An energy level is defined as the fixed energy value that an electron in an atom may have. Bohr’s Theory 1. Electrons revolve around the nucleus in orbitals 2. The electrons in an orbit have a fixed energy Note: Orbitals are also known as energy levels 3. As long as an electron is not in any one particular energy level‚ it neither gains or loses energy 4. When an atom absorbs energy it jumps to a higher energy level Note: They do not remain

Elements with longer half-life’s are used to find the age of even older objects like the earth. One question that was asked in this lab was‚ “All isotopes of radon (a harmful environmental problem) have half-lives shorter than four days‚ yet radon is still found in nature. Explain why all of the radon has not already decayed.” This is because as other larger elements decay they can change in to other
