Lab: Flame Test Purpose: to determine the ID of 2 unknown substances Background Information: Every atom consists of a nucleus with tiny electrons whizzing around it. The further away from the nucleus they are‚ the more energy the electrons have. If a metal atom is heated‚ the electrons get enough energy to jump higher away from the nucleus‚ they become “excited”. When they fall back closer to the nucleus (back to their ground state)‚ they give off this extra energy as light. Why is the

values that have trailing zeros only to the left of the decimal point are ambiguous and should be expressed in scientific notation. We must take note that the chemistry textbook (Silberberg 6e) states that placing a decimal point to the right of some trailing zeros (example: 300.) will make the zeros significant. However in General Chemistry‚ we do not follow this rule. If we want to write a whole number with trailing zeros we must use scientific notation to show which zeros are significant. When

1 COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION IN CHEMISTRY IN RELATION TO LEARNERS’ PERSONALITY Dr.R.Sivakumar Abstract The aim of this study was to find out the effectiveness of Computer Assisted Instruction in Teaching Chemistry In Relation To Learners’ Personality. The sample consisted of 40 students in Control group and 40 students in Experimental group. The data were collected using appropriate tools and it was analyzed by t’ and F’ test. The finding is that the achievement scores of Experimental group

Atmospheric chemistry is a branch of atmospheric science in which the chemistry of the Earth’s atmosphere and that of other planets is studied. Environmental chemistry is the scientific study of the chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in natural places. It can be defined as the study of the sources‚ reactions‚ transport‚ effects‚ and fates of chemical species in the air‚ soil‚ and water environments; and the effect of human activity on these. Environmental chemistry is an interdisciplinary

electrons‚ leaving a complete octet in the next-lowest energy level. Atoms of some non-metals tend to gain electrons or to share with another non-metal to achieve a complete octet. The gain of negatively charged electrons by a neutral atom produces an anion. 7.2- Ionic Bonds and Ionic Compounds Although they are composed of ions‚ ionic compounds are electrically neutral. Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids at room temperature. Ionic compounds generally have high melting points. Ionic compounds
