Respiration is the process by which oxygen is delivered to cells and body systems for use. It consists of levels, several of which are breathing, internal respiration, and external respiration. Breathing is the process by which air is inhaled and exhaled through the mouth. External respiration is th...

Michael Shorrock The chemistry of Photography Summary: Joseph-Nicephore Niepce took he word's first photographs in 1824. Many people don't know that he was the person who invented photography; they think that a Frenchman named Daguerre was the inventor but he got the idea f...

Chemical reactions are the heart of chemistry. People have always known that they exist. The Ancient Greeks were the firsts to speculate on the composition of matter. They thought that it was possible that individual particles made up matter. Later, in the Seventeenth Century, a Germ...

The conclusion of a manuscript located at the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley, laid the words: "I have attempted to give you a glimpse...of what there may be of soul in chemistry. But it may have been in vain. Perchance the chemist is already damned and the guardian the blackest. But if the chemist...

Hello. My name is Dmitri Mendeleev. As you probably know I was the creator of the Periodic Table of the Elements. For those of you that don't know what that is, the table of elements is an arrangement of different chemicals that are arranged in Atomic Weight order. I also left space for 3 n...

A Vogadro was born on June 9, 1776 in Turin, Italy. He began his career in 1796 by obtaining a doctorate in law and practicing as a lawyer for three years after. In 1800, he began to take private lessons in mathematics and physics and decided to make the natural sciences his profession. He was appoi...

Fausto de Elhuyar the man, the myth, the legend lived from 1775-1833. Elhuyar was no ordinary chemist. Along with being the co-discoverer of tungsten, he has written and published many of his works. He was the founder of the Royal school of mines in Mexico. Now that I've given you an overvi...

Our understanding of the atom has changed remarkably over time. At one point, it was considered a solid object. Now, the atom is considered to have a cloud for its electrons. We believe that our notion of the atom has had many changes, and will continue to change until we get it right. The ...

Chemistry Open Book Paper Atomic spectroscopy is a chemical analysis technique and it is used to identify what elements are in a compound. It uses the idea of a photon being absorbed or emitted whenever an electron changes from one energy level to another. The diagram below shows sodium sal...

Chemistry A Final Review Introduction 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. A Brief History The word atom come...

The Greek concept of atomos: the atom Around 440 BC leucippus of Miletus originated the atom concept. He and his pupil, Democritus of abdera refined it for future use. Their atomic idea has five major points. All original writings of leucippus and Democritus are lost. The only sources we have f...

John Dalton was an extraordinary English chemist and physicist. He produced many theories and discovered amazing doctrines throughout his life. In the next paragraphs, I will be discussing John Dalton's life and the events that occurred that contributed to our scientific world. John ...

Quantim Mechanics is abranch of mathematical physics that deals with the emission and absorption of energy by matter and with the motion of material particles. Because it holds that energy and matter exist in tiny, discrete amounts, quantum mechanics is particularly applicable to Elamentry Pprticl...

Moving Object has wave like characteristics Particles really do have wave-like properties, it just took a while for us to notice them. It wasn't discovered until 1925 that electrons do have wave characteristics. An American physicist, Clinton Davisson, was working with Lester ...

Amadeo Avogadro Lorenzo Romano Amadeo Carl Avagodro was born on August 9, 1776 in Turin, Italy. He was the son of Count Filippo Avogadro and Anna Maria Vercellone. In his earlier years, he started a practice as a lawyer, seeing as he came from a long line of successful ones. His early career was ...

Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers An atomic absorption spectrophotometer consists of many complex and integral pieces. These components work together to help determine the concentrations of many different elements in various products to a very precise and accurate value. The instrumentation...

Electron Pair Repulsion Theory: The electron pair repulsion theory states that the electron pairs in the valence energy level of an atom repel each other, and therefore are arranged as far apart as possible. For example, H2O: Due to this theory, different molecules with different...

Ernest Rutherford Ernest Rutherford was born in New Zealand in 1871 as one of 12 children. It was Rutherford who first "split" an atom and who discovered the atomic "nucleus", a name that he invented. For this he is regarded as the greatest experimental physicist of his...

The History Behind The Atom Throughout the discovery of the atom, many scientists worked to formulate how the atom works. Which began in the early 1800's with John Dalton, to our current model of the electron cloud developed by Schrodinger. During this long process of the discovery th...
