SPECIAL SENSES GENERAL PRESENTATION Overview of the Nervous System • Endocrine and nervous systems maintain internal coordination – Endocrine system: communicates by means of chemical messengers (hormones) secreted into to the blood – Nervous system: employs electrical and chemical means to send messages from cell to cell 12-2 Overview of the Nervous System • Nervous system carries out its task in three basic steps • Sense organs receive information about changes in the body and external environment

TMA04 Question 1 In TMA02 I asked my tutor to give me specific feedback on the learning outcome Ky1. I was advised that I should take a little more care with significant figures and scientific notation. There has not been much emphasis on significant figures and scientific notation in TMA04. However I have taken the advice given by my tutor and broadened it to include attention to detail in all areas dealing with numbers within this assignment especially in questions 2 ai) 2ci) & 3bi).

1 Class XII: Chemistry Chapter 1: The Solid State Concept 1. Solid: Solid is a state of matter in which the constituting particles are arranged very closely. The constituent particles can be atoms‚ molecules or ions. Properties of solids: a. They have definite mass‚ volume and shape. b. Intermolecular distances are short and hence the intermolecular forces are strong. c. Their constituent particles have fixed positions and can only oscillate about their mean positions. d. They are incompressible

Chemical Formulas Review: Nomenclature and Formula Writing Naming Simple Compounds There are four naming systems you should familiarize yourself with to succeed on the SAT II Chemistry exam. The trick is recognizing which naming system to use. Here are the guidelines: * If the compound starts with H‚ it is an acid. Use the naming acids rules. * If the compound starts with C and contains quite a few H’s and perhaps some O’s‚ it is organic. Use the naming organic compounds rules. *

ELECTROPLATING Electroplating is the application of electrolytic cells in which a thin layer of metal is deposited onto an electrically conductive surface. Electroplating is a plating process that uses electrical current to reduce cat ions of a desired material from a solution and coat a conductive object with a thin layer of the material‚ such as a metal. Electroplating is primarily used for depositing a layer of material to bestow a desired property (e.g.‚ abrasion and wear resistance‚ corrosion

The Solid State General characteristics of solid state: Definite mass‚ volume and shape Short intermolecular distances Strong intermolecular forces Fixed lattice positions of the constituent particles Incompressibility and rigidity Classification of the solid state: Crystalline Amorphous (sometimes called pseudo solids or super-cooled liquids) Differences between the crystalline and amorphous solids Crystalline Have definite characteristic geometrical shape Melt at a sharp and characteristic temperature

Module 16 Notes Reduction/Oxidation Reactions • Oxidation number: The charge that an atom in a molecule would develop if the most electronegative atoms in the molecule took the shared electrons from the less electronegative atoms. • Oxidation numbers are not real; they are only based on assumptions. They are useful bookkeeping tools though‚ and can help us keep track of electrons during a reaction. • The sum of all oxidation numbers in a molecule must equal the charge of that molecule. • Rules

Identifying Ionic Compounds Written by Ashleigh Lara. In our experiment we were given 5 different cations who’s mixture of anions ranged from five to three different solutions. At every single station we were given the following materials a spot plate‚ a dropper‚ and the chemicals used to mix with our main substance. Each substance received 3 drops of the different chemicals which were able to give us an observation of what the compound was made into. Many of our experiments color‚ texture and solubility

a formula based on the actual number of atoms in each element within the compound‚ in a whole number ratio. Magnesium Oxide is an ionic compound with the equation: Mg(s)+ O(g)-> Mgo (s)‚ with a 1:1 ratio‚ as magnesium has a cation charge of 2+ and oxygen has an anion charge of -2‚ so theoretically the empirical formula of magnesium oxide if Mgo. For the experiment to be preformed accurately the magnesium would have had to react with only oxygen and no magnesium should have been lost in the process
