Nuclear Fission Nuclear Energy
603 words
When dealing with the world's present sources of
energy, the two most popular forms are nuclear and
energy by fossil fuels. How long will these
supplies last? Are they the most effective? Is it
harmful to the environment? All of these questions
must be addressed. Below is a description of how
these sources produce energy. What exactly is
nuclear energy? We talk about it all the time, but
what is it? Nuclear energy is energy that is
obtained by splitting the nuclei of atoms. The
atoms of most ele...

Niels Bohr Model Of The Hydrogen Atom
365 words
Niels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom, was the
primary reason for the understanding of energy
levels. Bohr was able to explain the bright line
spectrum of hydrogen. Sparked by the recent
discovery of the diffraction patterns, scientists
believed electrons could be described as waves.
Bohr hypothesized that energy is being added to
the hydrogen gas in the electricity form, and then
leaving the gas in the form of light. He figured
the light rays to be quantized, meaning only
certain frequencies ...

Carbon Dioxide Hydrogen Ions

Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms
that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light
energy into chemical energy which can be stored in
the molecular bonds of organic molecules.
Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains
and food webs on the Earth. The net process of
photosynthesis is described by the following
equation: 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + Light Energy = C 6 H
12 O 6 + 6 O 2 This equation simply means that
carbon dioxide from the air and water combine in
the presence of sunli...

Diamagnetic's was discovered by Michael Faraday in
1846, but no one at the time thought that it could
lead to any appreciable effects. William Thomson
(Lord Kelvin), referring to levitation as the
problem of 'Mohamed's coffin, ' had this to say:
'It will orally be impossible ever to observe this
phenomenon, on account of the difficulty of
getting a magnet strong enough, and a diamagnetic
substance sufficiently light, as the [magnetic]
forces are excessively feeble. ' Fields strong

World War Ii Franklin D Roosevelt

On the morning of August 6, 1945, the first Atomic
Bomb in history was dropped on the Japanese city
of Hiroshima. Three days later, a second bomb was
dropped on Nagasaki. Soon after, on August 14,
1945, the Japanese abruptly surrendered,
abandoning their ancient customs regarding honor
in war. The fact that only two bombs were able to
bring an entire country to its knees is a true
testament to the awesome power they held. There is
nothing in modern warfare that can compete with
the devastating e...

Electron To Form Covalent Bond Bonds
446 words
Chemical bonds are what make up the world. In
bonds, elements are held together and form
compounds that may have new physical and chemical
properties. There are two main kinds of bonds,
they ionic and covalent. In bonding the goal of
the atoms involved is to reach a level of
stability with less energy. In order to reach the
epitome of stability, as in the case of noble
gases, an atom strives to complete its outer
shell. Either losing or gaining electrons may do
this, which concludes in an ionic ...

Atomic Weight Periodic Table
1,546 words
At 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...

T 3 IBS Chemistry Historical Development of Atomic
Structure The idea behind the atom goes back to
the Ancient Greek society, where scientists
believed that all matter was made of smaller, more
fundamental particles called elements. They called
these particles atoms, meaning not divisible. Then
came the chemists and physicists of the 16 th and
17 th centuries who discovered various formulae of
various salts and water, hence discovering the
idea of a molecule. Then, in 1766 was born a man
named J...

Coal Mines Carbon Dioxide

Methane by Pamela The molecule, methane, is made
up of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms making
the compound CH 4. It is the second most important
greenhouse gas. One molecule of methane is twenty
times more efficient at absorbing infrared
radiation than a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO
2). The amount of methane is increasing about 1 %
a year, faster than any other greenhouse gas.
Recently, the concentration is 1. 7 parts per
million (ppm), which is nearly twice of what it
was a few hundred of ...

Surface Of The Water Hydrogen Bonds

Water is the most important substance in our
evolution and our daily lives. Without water, life
as we know it would not have been possible. This
essay will examine the water molecule in order to
ascertain how it brought about Earths thriving
ecosystem and how important it is to us today.
Each water molecule consists of one oxygen atom
and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom (or the
apex of the water molecule) bears a slight
electronegative charge while hydrogen possesses a
more positive one 1 (f...

How Helium Balloons Work There is something
incredibly special about helium balloons! If you
buy one at the circus or fair, you can hold its
string and it will ride along above you. If you
let go of the string it will fly away until you
cannot see it anymore. If you have ever wondered
why it flies away, the passages below can help you
to figure out the mystery. Helium floatation
Helium balloons work using exactly the same law of
buoyancy. In this case, the helium balloon that

The Wonderful World of Lasers Laser stands for
Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of
Radiation. Lasers work by producing an intense
beam of bright light that travels in one
direction. The laser has the unique ability to
produce one specific color or wavelength of light,
which can be varied in its intensity and pulse
duration. The newest laser systems have become
remarkably precise and selective, allowing
treatment results and safety levels not previously
available. All lasers contain...

Thomas R. Edwards Imagistically the poem is built

subways vaults, the truss of the El, the interred
Union dead, the sword in the groove foreshadowing
the " mausoleum" of the last line. But
these images suggest not only constraint and death
but ceremony, formal rituals like burial,
inauguration, or for that matter battle itself.

Nuclear Power Plant Nuclear Fission
1,742 words
Nuclear energy-This is energy that binds together
components of an atomic nucleus. This is made by
the process of nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is
produced when an atomic atom is split. The way
nuclear pore is made is in a nuclear reactor, this
is most likely located in a nuclear power plant.
the fission that is produced is when a heavy
element splits in half or is halved into two
smaller nuclei, the power of the fission is
located by the rate of the splitting of the nuclei
at once which caus...

How do batteries work? What are the different
kinds of batteries? Why do they die? Why do they
lose energy when they are not used for a long
time? Well I tried my best to find the best

Static Static Electricity Static Electricity
Static electricity is electricity at rest, which
is an accumulation of electric charge. This source
of energy is the opposite of moving electric
charge, known as electric current. It is part of
the study of phenomena resulting from electric
charge, called electrostatics. Electrostatics is
actually one of the foundations of knowledge about
electricity. Static electricity is clearly the
oldest known form of electricity. The earliest
