century BC Aristotle‚ practical as ever in his determination to get things worked out in detail‚ proposes a new theory to explain how the four elements of Empedocles and the atoms of Democritus produce the wide range of substances apprehended by our senses. He declares the existence of only four elements: fire‚ air‚ water and earth. All matter is made up of these four elements and matter had four properties: hot‚ cold‚ dry and wet. Greek science in Alexandria: from the 3rd century BC

Everything you need to know about hydrocarbons INTRODUCTION: organic chemistry Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. The element carbon has a special role in chemistry because it bonds with other carbon atoms to give a vast array of molecules. The varity of molecules is so great that we find organic compounds in many common products we use‚ such as gasoline‚ medicines‚ shampoos‚ plastic bottles‚ and perfumes. The food we eat is composed of different

Chemistry and cosmetics Cosmetics have been around since almost the beginning of time. Egyptian women used kohl to darken their eyelids‚ Cleopatra was even said to have bathed in milk to achieve a soft smooth completion. In Greece‚ women used lead carbonate (a white powder) to obtain a pale complexion‚ which probably wasn’t worth it seeing how it cost them their lives! Anyway‚ cosmetics are no modern phenomenon! Today it is a big business‚ making about $12 billion

If We Had Known About Green Chemistry In 1951‚ How Would Things Be Different Today? Green Chemistry is the making of chemical products that reduces or eliminates the use and production of hazardous substances in the designing‚ making‚ and use of chemical products. It involves the designing and re-designing of chemical creation and chemical products to prevent pollution which will therefore solve environmental problems. Green Chemistry is environmentally safe and has very little side effects on

0 EFFECT OF REINFORCEMENT IN OUR DAILY LIFE Reinforcement is a term in operant conditioning and behaviour analysis for the delivery of a stimulus‚ (immediately or shortly) after a response‚ that results in an increase in the future rate or probability of that response. The response strength is assessed by measuring frequency‚ duration‚ latency‚ accuracy‚ and/or persistence of the response after reinforcement stops. Experimental behaviour analysts measured the rate of behaviours as a primary

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY COURSE TITLE: General Organic Chemistry COURSE CODE: CHM 121 ‚ UNIT: 2.0 . INTRODUCTORY AND IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Organic chemistry is the study of the compounds of carbon. Carbon compounds are far more numerous than those of other elements because carbon are able to bond together to form a wide range of chains and rings. The subject is named organic chemistry because living organisms are composed of carbon compounds. Organic chemistry could be regarded
