The definition for nuclear chemistry is the application of chemical techniques to the solution of problems in nuclear physics. This includes the discovery of naturally occurring and synthetic radioactive elements and the results of nuclear fission. There are both pros and cons in nuclear chemistry. People believe that nuclear chemistry is bad for the environment but there are a lot of great things that can come out of this. Things like medical uses, food and even in your own home!…
Argon (Ar) is a noble gas found in Group 0 on the periodic table. It gets its name because of its chemical inertness and comes from the Greek root ‘Argo,’ which means lazy. This is because Argon doesn’t react well with other elements. The atomic number of Argon is 18 making it a member of the helium group of elements which are also called noble, or inert, gasses and are non reactive. Its electronic configuration is:…
The specific three dimensional arrangements of atoms in molecules are referred to as molecular geometry. We also define molecular geometry as the positions of the atomic nuclei in a molecule. There are various instrumental techniques such as X-Ray crystallography and other experimental techniques which can be used to tell us where the atoms are located in a molecule. Using advanced techniques, very complicated structures for proteins, enzymes, DNA, and RNA have been determined. Molecular geometry is associated with the chemistry of vision, smell and odors, taste, drug reactions and enzyme controlled reactions to name a few. Molecular geometry is associated with the specific orientation of bonding atoms. A careful analysis of electron distributions in orbitals will usually result in correct molecular geometry determinations. In addition, the simple writing of Lewis diagrams can also provide important clues for the determination of molecular geometry.

Ozone depletion describes two distinct but related phenomena observed since the late 1970s: a steady decline of about 4% per decade in the total volume of ozone in Earth's stratosphere (the ozone layer), and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone over Earth's polar regions. The latter phenomenon is referred to as theozone hole. In addition to these well-known stratospheric phenomena, there are also springtime polartropospheric ozone depletion events.…
