One Of The Most Important Desalination Plants
910 wordsNickel is one of the most important elements on the periodic table. It has plenty of history, as well as a huge importance to society. Its has unique chemical, physical, and geological properties. Nickel is used commercially in abundance, as it is used anywhere from simple art products such as ceramics to complex structures such as tubing for desalination plants. It is even used in the American five-cent coin, the "nickel." Nickel was discovered by Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, in Sweden, during the y...

Mind And Body Cartesian Dualism
2,324 words... for reasons I gave earlier and is based on Descartes's definition of mind as having no language of its own: it is that which does not pertain to matter. For Descartes mind is the realm of free will, the sphere of soul, of the Church. There were a lot of philosophical and theological - i. e. cultural - reasons in the seventeenth century why it was defined in that way. In Individuals P. F. Strawson shows, I think utterly persuasively, that you can think about minds only in a language which con...

Valence Electrons Periodic Table
854 wordsThe periodic table is simply the organization and classification of different elements. By the end of the 1700 s, scientists had identified about 30 elements. In less than 100 years, the number of known element doubled because of new means of recognizing them. In the early 1800 s, Dobereiner observed that there were elements that could be classified into groups of 3, or triads. These triads were significant because these classifications of similar elements represented the very beginning of the p...

Atomic Weight Periodic Table
1,546 wordsAt first glance, nature appears to consist of countless numbers of very different materials. The world thus appears to be an extremely complex mixture of many different materials. But philosophers and scientists have long held another view of the world. They have found it difficult to believe that nature is really as complex as it appears to be. Instead, they have assumed that the many different materials we see result from the combination of a small number of fundamental substances called eleme...

3,116 wordsDmitri Mendeleev was one of the most famous modern-day scientists of all time who contributed greatly to the worlds fields of science, technology, and politics. He helped modernize the world and set it farther ahead into the future. Mendeleev also made studying chemistry easier, by creating a table with the elements and the atomic weights of them put in order by their properties. Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was born in Tobolsk, Siberia, on February 7, 1834. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy was th...

Periodic Table Atomic Number
299 wordsDmitry Ivanovich Mendeleyev (1834 - 1907) Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleyev was Russian chemist, known for his development of the periodic table of elements. This is a table created to arrange the elements by their atomic number. Mendeleyev was born in Tobolsk, Siberia. He studied chemistry at the University of Saint Petersburg, until 1859 when he was sent to learn at the University of Heidelberg. Where he became aquatinted with the Italian chemist Stanislao Cannizzaro, whose views on atomic weight ch...

Atomic Mass Periodic Table
315 wordsHistory of the Periodic Table In the 1800 s fifty to sixty of the elements in the current periodic table were already discovered. This prompted the scientist of the time to try to construct a table with all the elements of the time in it. Most of the scientists were trying to construct the table by order of atomic mass or by small groups of similar elements. In 1817 a German scientist, Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner, found that certain elements formed groups of three with similar characteristics. Do...
