Chemistry has sufficiently grown over time since it was first conducted by alchemists in the 17th century. It broke its mystical ties with alchemy‚ and took a turn to scientific investigation when a book called The Sceptical Chymist was written. Hundreds of scientists like Robert Boyle‚ Marie Curie‚ Joseph Achille Le Bel‚ and many others made important discoveries that contributed to chemistry. Joseph Achille Le Bel was a french chemist born on January 21‚ 1847 and grew up in Pechelbronn‚ France

inversion for the ethyl‚ isopropyl‚ and methyl systems. Furthermore‚ through the analysis of vicinal interproton coupling constants‚ it is believed that these compounds exist mainly in the diaxial chair conformation. To verify this‚ an X-ray crystallography was carried out‚ and the result undeniably shows that the configuration of chair with diaxial substituents is favored in the solid state. It is presumed that the origin of this preference is the result of a strong hyperconjugative stabilization

Cell Biology 1 – Prokaryotes & Viruses * Eukaryotes have a membrane whereas a prokaryote has no nuclear membranes. Both have a double stranded DNA. * The two main types of prokaryotes are bacteria and Archaea and eukarya are types of eukaryotes. * Archaea are more closely related to eukaryotes. * Prokaryotes have a membrane and nucleoid and most have a cell wall. * There are 3 main types of shapes of prokaryotes: * Bacillus – rod shapes * Spirilum – spiral shaped

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material‚ whose constituent atoms‚ molecules‚ or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is crystallography. The process of crystal formation via mechanisms of crystal growth is called crystallization or solidification. Potassium alum (Aluminum Potassium Sulfate) is the white crystalline natural mineral salt (double sulfate) of potassium which typically

indeed an efficient and driven researcher. Franklin utilized the X-ray diffraction techniques (that she has become most famous for) while working in a Paris laboratory between 1947 and 1950‚ with crystallographer Jacques Mering. 	X-ray crystallography helped determined the three dimensional structure of DNA when Franklin returned to England. She became the first person to find the molecule¡¯s sugar-phosphate backbone while working with a team of scientists at King¡¯s College in London. Unfortunately

Every protein will contain an amino group‚ carboxyl group‚ a different R group and an alpha carbon with two hydrogens. There are nine types of functions proteins can have‚ enzymes‚ motor‚ receptor‚ structural‚ storage‚ transport‚ signaling‚ and special purpose proteins(antibodies).

Marie Curie was a famous Polish chemist. Marie and her husband Pierre Curie were early researchers in radioactivity. She received her first Nobel Prize in 1903 for physics‚ together with Pierre and Henri Bequerell‚ for research in the area of radioactivity. In 1911‚ she was given a second Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work in discovering radium and polonium.
