Why is a Soccer ball consider Chemistry?
What is chemistry? The word “chemistry” dates back to 1590-1600, but it is debatable that either the Egyptians or Greeks were the first to introduce chemistry to the world. What society does know, it is that Antoine Lavoisier is known as the “Father of Chemistry.” Lavoisier was the first to document how he compiled and completed the first list of elements. He discovered and named the elements: oxygen and hydrogen. He wrote the book “Elements of Chemistry,” where he documented his studies. Chemistry is the study of matter. Matter being anything occupying space and has mass; that object must meet both requirements, if not then it is not …show more content…
Our thoughts are not physical. They do not weigh anything and can’t take up space, meaning it does not reach both requirements to be matter; thus it is not chemistry. In energy, there are subatomic particles, only negative charges, known as electrons. Electrons have a negligible amount of mass, and consequently not consider matter. So if something is physical and weighs an absolute amount, then it is considered matter, meaning it is chemistry. A soccer ball is physical and weighs an estimate of four hundred ten grams to four hundred fifty grams, fourteen to sixteen ounces, so it is matter and from there it is considered chemistry. Therefore a soccer ball defines matter and is chemistry.
A soccer ball has four different layers. The first layer is the bladder; primary compose colloidal dispersion of polymer particles in a liquid. Latex uses rubber particles, which compose the bladder. The rubber particles are known to be natural rubber. Natural rubber is made from polymer isoprene, also known as 2-methylbuta-1, 3-diene with the chemical formula (C5H8)n. Butyl valves are in most soccer balls and are used for air retention. These valves are made from silicone. Silicon atoms are tetravalent, meaning silicones are polymers built from inorganic-organic
