Atomic Theory Essay We are first going to talk about Protons‚Neutrons and Electrons. These three elements are a very good example of most things that are in use of gas fumes. It all started when Protons and neutrons where‚ Protons were discovered by Experimenting with discharging tubes. Eventually they found out the rest of the Atoms over time. Which brings me into the word of Orbital. Orbital is a Neutron‚ electron or a proton Going around a single atom with certain amounts of energy levels. Which

TYPES OF GALAXIES: Spiral Galaxy (S) Spiral Barred Galaxy (SB) Elliptical Galaxy (E) Irregular Galaxy (In order of importance…) 1. Spiral Galaxies: (Edwin Hubble‚ 1936) “The most common type of galaxy that is viewed by observers; It contains twisted collections of stars‚ stellar remnants‚ and a diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) of gas and dust”. Made up of hot young stars Most spiral

Nikola Tesla had changed the development of alternating current in many ways through his work of: the AC motor‚ the Niagara Falls Power Plant‚ electromagnetism‚ remote control‚ the X-ray‚ the Tesla Coil and the Neutral Particle Beam Accelerator or Death Ray. Some ways that Tesla has changed the development of alternating current is through making the AC motor that revolutionized how large machines work and how large businesses can better function. He also made the standard for electricity‚ with the

Science vs. Religion The debate between religion and science has been going on for years‚ clashing together with different ideologies. The argument combines historical and philosophical approaches to contest to each side‚ battling to disprove each other. While religion is based on faith‚ using the will of God to guide them in their observations‚ scientists use experiments to find discoveries based on facts. The conflict between religion and science hasn’t been fiery in modern times‚ compared to

The Importance of the Telegraph The telegraph is an electromagnet connected to a battery via a switch. When the switch is down‚ the current flows from the battery through the key‚ down the wire‚ and into the sounder at the other end of the line. By itself‚ the telegraph could express only two states‚ on or off. This limitation was eliminated by the fact that it was the duration of the connection that determined the dot and dash from each other being short and long‚ respectively. From these combinations

What is electromagnetic radiation? Electromagnetic energy is a term used to describe all the different kinds of energies released into space by stars such as the Sun. These kinds of energies include some that you will recognize and some that will sound strange. They include: * Radio Waves * TV waves * Radar waves * Heat (infrared radiation) * Light * Ultraviolet Light (This is what causes Sunburns) * X-rays (Just like the kind you get at the doctor’s office) * Short waves

was a German physicist in the 1800’s. In 1878‚ he began to work in a lab with the physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. During his time with Helmholtz‚ he was assigned various questions to solve. It was through these questions that his interest in electromagnetism developed‚ leading to his eventual discovery of the radio wave (Heinrich Hertz). Heinrich Hertz is the most influential person in American society because his contributions to science and pop culture have played a role in shaping society. In

groups which inhabit the island. The “Others” is a group who has inhabited the island for an unknown amount of time. There are also several episodes which include people from the Dharma initiative who were brought to the island to study its electromagnetism properties and other supernatural capabilities before meeting their demise from what is presumed to be an attack from the “Others”. Lastly‚ near the end of the series‚ the viewers are introduced to Jacob‚ the islands protector‚ and his nemesis

Introduction to the Magnetic Treatment of Fuel By R.J. Kita Hydrogen is the lightest and most basic element known to man. With its simple structure comprised of only one proton and one electron‚ it is one of the major constituents of all hydrocarbon based fuels. By studying the response of hydrogen with respect to magnetic fields and the accompanying increased energy output‚ much can be learned and applied to other related fuels. In the oxidation/combustion of hydrocarbon fuels‚ it is the outer shell
