    Based on the class data, the density of the penny changed dramatically between 1980 and 1985. From 1975 to 1980, the penny became 1.40g/mL less dense and from 1980 to 1985, the density dropped by 0.626. With this data and the percent composition equation we were able to determine that the second metal in the penny is Zinc with a density of 7.14g/mL. Using scholarly online sources, I was able to confirm this data concerning the second metal to be correct. The United States Mint’s website states that in 1962, the cent’s tin content was removed making the composition of the cent 95% copper and 5% zinc.…

An atom that is missing a neutron or has an extra neutron is called an isotope. They are still the same element; however, they are just a little different from every other atom of the same element.…

    Population density is defined by the number of people and the area size in which they reside. The effects of urbanization on the human race vary between cultures. However, there is clearly a relationship between population density and human behavior (Rosenbnerg, 2011, para. 1). Whether the answer is moving to a less dense area, or adapting to an urban area depends on individual personality and preference.…
