dropped from the name.2 In England in the early 1800s‚ Humphry Davy was able to prepare a number of elements that had been difficult to separate from their compounds -- sodium and potassium in 1807‚ and magnesium and calcium in 1808. He used electrolysis of molten alkalis for the first two‚ or powdered oxides mixed with mercury for the others. He tried hard to prepare aluminum metal in this way as well‚ but failed.3 Aluminum was first prepared in Denmark in 1825 by the Danish physicist and

Metals are mined from ores‚ considering yield to see if it is economically viable for a business to mine at a particular site. However‚ due to environmental damage and global warming‚ recycling has increased globally to create a sustainable future. By examining the cost and energy expenditure of recycling and extracting aluminium we can understand why recycling is a better choice than extracting metal from its ore. Discuss the importance of predicting yield in the identification‚ mining and

IGSCE Chemistry Notes Oxides Oxides are used to determine whether an element is a metal or a non-metal. Most non-metals are classed as acidic oxides. While most metals are classed as basicoxides. Acidic Oxides * Reacts with water to form acids * Neutralises alkaline solution to form salt + water Basic Oxides * Neutralises acidic solutions to form salt + water Amphoeteric Oxides * These are non-metals which display both acidic and basic properties Alkaline Oxides * Reacts

All about Laser Hair Removal Laser hair removal is a type of medical procedure that makes the use of laser‚ a pulsating intense light beam to take out unwanted hair. During this process‚ a laser radiation is made to penetrate through your skin to reach out to each of the hair follicles individually. Under the intensity of this extreme heat induced by the laser rays‚ the hair follicles get damaged inhibiting hair growth in future. Although this treatment delays hair growth to a great extent‚ however
