My Review of Uncle Tungsten Uncle Tungsten‚ by Oliver Sacks is titled as “Memories of a Chemical Boyhood”‚ but it is far more than that. This story is not just a biography of a kid’s childhood‚ it’s focused around the influence of chemistry upon a child’s life‚ the discovery of the periodic table and the elements on it‚ and the non-chemistry part of his life. Early in the story‚ we learn that Oliver Sacks‚ the child in the story‚ has a family full of chemists‚ physicists‚ and doctors. As of this

Chromium has an atomic number of 24 and is located in the 6th group‚ 4th period of the periodic table of elements. Chromium is a metal and can be identified by its atomic symbol of Cr. Chromium is a hard and brittle metal‚ making it hard to bend as it would break if one tried to do so. Chromium is also a shiny and lustrous metal with a grey color to it. Chromium may also be identified by its high melting and boiling point and can prove to be very useful in everyday lives. Chromium was first discovered

opening statement I would like to proudly say cobalt is an element which has its own gum. Though completely irrelevant to my report I enjoy it’s succulent‚ minty and long lasting flavor‚ because five… will stimulate your senses. I figure I might as well go into the greater details of cobalt as well as what it is and how it came to be. In the year 1739‚ Swedish chemist‚ Georg Brandt was trying to prove to his colleges that Bismuth‚ the element credited for its believed ability to turn glass blue‚ was

be divided.” The next scientist who worked with atoms was John Dalton‚ he lived from 1766 to 1844. His main theories were that elements combine in certain proportions based on mass to form compounds‚ each element has a different atom and a different atomic weight‚ all atoms of the same element are perfectly identical‚ and atoms cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions. He also had his own

856 kg m3-‚ making it the second least dense metal. Potassium can be found in nature‚ but not alone. It is found in numerous compounds and is too reactive to be alone. When mixing water and potassium together‚ a fire is ignited as a result of the chemical reaction. Potassium makes up 1.5% - 2.1% of the Earth’s crust weight. In the crystal structure of potassium‚ the closest K-K separation is 461 nm and the metallic radius spans 231 nm. Potassium has three major isotopes. One out of the three is radioactive

Science Revision Notes Chemistry Atoms are the smallest particle of a particular element. Molecules are particles that contain 2 or more atoms joined together by chemical bonds. Elements are substances that are made up of only one type of atom. Compounds are substances form when two or more elements are joined chemically. Metals are solid at room temperature‚ with the exception of mercury. Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat. Metals can usually be melted at high temperatures. Non-metals
