    My earliest memory is feeling depression at the age of four. At about 12‚ my mother told me she was miserable in her marriage and it was my fault because she had gotten pregnant with me and had to marry my father. It finally made sense and I knew why she treated me harshly. Her punitive words towards me and disdain for her marriage are still evident today. My father is no different‚ often beating me during my childhood. During my childhood‚ I was very shy and often sought to escape social situations

    Unit 4: Carbon Nanostructures Carbon Structures: • Carbon contains six electrons with electronic structure: (1s2)‚ (2s)‚ (2px)‚ (2py)‚ (2pz). Outer s orbital together with three p orbitals form the chemical bonds of carbon with other atoms. • Conventionally‚ solid carbon has two main structures called allotropic forms: diamond and graphite: - Diamond is tetrahedrally bonded through sp3 hybrid bonds that form a 3D network. - Graphite has a layered structure with each layer called graphene formed

    • 13 Pages

    The Carbon Cycle The element Carbon is the principle block for the organic compounds that make up life. This is because the study of the Carbon Cycle draws upon theories from biology‚ chemistry‚ geology and oceanography in order to understand the movement of carbon throughout the atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and geosphere. Carbon is made up of four electrons that are able to form with each other; this causes the many different forms of carbon. The most popular form of carbon is carbon dioxide; this

    1. Atomic and Molecular Structure a. Students know how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. The Periodic Table organizes elements by their atomic number - from hydrogen (1) to whatever is the highest one currently known (>105). It is arranged so that similiar members fall in a list such as Chlorine Bromine etc.. The average atomic weight is usually shown with each element‚ but due to isotopes (caused buy nuclear varations)

    Carbon Cycle Living organisms are significant in the recycling of numerous elements contained in an ecosystem. One of the elements is carbon. Carbon is nonmetal‚ forms over ten million different compounds‚ found in minerals‚ oceans‚ and is the main component of biological compounds. So how do living organisms and their biochemical reactions contribute to the recycling of carbon? Carbon moves through the ecosystem in a cycle‚ in which the living organisms take and release

    destructive nature. I will start by describing the carbon cycle and how elements of my lifestyle impact the cycle. Photosynthesis converts the Carbon dioxide gas that exists in the atmosphere and in dissolved water to organic carbon. Organic carbon is brought back into carbon dioxide gas by a process called respiration. There are sources of organic carbon underground in the form of fossil fuels‚ human emissions and volcanic activity brings the stored carbon back into the cycle. As a human being who feed
