In the past benzene was obtained from the distillation of coal in the absence of air. Today most benzene is made syntheticallyfrom petroleum products. The benzene is a closed ring of six atoms connected by bonds that resonatebetween single and double bonds; each carbon is also bound to a single atom. Benzene isinsoluble in water but mixes in all proportions with organic . Benzene is itself an excellentsolvent for certain and for most simple organic chemicals. It is one of the most commonly

Introduction An atom is the smallest part of an element that can take part in a chemical change. The word “atom” comes from the Greek “atomos”‚ which means “unable to be cut”. Atomism is the philosophy of the existence of atoms. The first theories of atoms come from India. There was a Hindu sage named Kanad that hypothesized that all mater was composed of earth‚ water‚ light‚ wind‚ ether‚ time‚ space‚ mind and soul. Then another philosopher named Pakuda Katyayana suggested that everything can be

particles called atom. He tried to break down matters into smallest particles. His model was that the matter would stop splitting in halves when it reaches its smallest matter. He called that an atom. * John Dalton In 1803‚ John Dalton proposed a theory. The theory had 4 parts into it. 1. Elements are made of identical atoms. 2. Atoms of different elements are physically different 3. Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms. 4. A chemical

Atoms are a part of our everyday life. Even though people might not realize it‚ they contribute to more things than people may think. From small things such as a small pebble‚ to something huge‚ like a castle. They inhabit our lifes in more way than one. Atoms make up everything around us from the air we breathe to food we eat and even the stars in the sky. The average layman does not know much about the atom but in this paper I will explain what and why they are. The word atom comes from the Greek

nuclear threat of the Axis powers. On October 11‚ 1939‚ President Franklin D. Roosevelt received a letter from Albert Einstein‚ which Einstein had actually written on August 2‚ 1939. The letter told of a new field of physics that was showing that the element uranium could undergo nuclear fission‚ with the resultant release of a great deal of energy. Einstein described the probability that a sustained nuclear reaction could be produced and the possibility of the construction of extremely powerful bombs
