movement of electrons in atoms. Electrons exist in constant orbit around an atom’s nucleus in different levels of energy‚ also known as orbitals. When an electron makes the transition – drops - to a lower orbital‚ it needs to release some energy – which it does in the form of a photon. The energy level of this photon corresponds to how far the electron dropped between orbitals. So when a photon collides with another atom‚ the energy in the photon sometimes gets absorbed and boosts an electron in that

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a biochemical technology in molecular biology used to amplify a single copy or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude‚ generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis‚[1][2] PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in medical and biological research labs for a variety of applications.[3][4] These include DNA cloning for sequencing‚ DNA-based phylogeny‚ or

charge. Hydrogen bonding is generally stronger than most bonds bar covalent bonds. Water: Bonding within water molecules occur between oxygen and hydrogen. These covalent bonds mean that the electrons are shared between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms to create a complete valence shell. However‚ electrons tend to spend more time around the oxygen atom due to its higher electro-negativity. This creates a partial positive charge around the hydrogen atoms‚ and a partial negative charge around the oxygen

in the periodic table. Both the alkali metals and the halogens (nonmetals) on considered to be main group elements. When the number of outer shell electrons is closer to one or seven the higher the elements reactivity. Alkali metals contain a single electron in their outer shell which makes them highly reactive and halogens contain only seven electrons in their outer shell. Noble gases‚ such as helium‚ are not reactive because they are chemically stable and will not combine with other elements. H₂S

Current ‚ Voltage‚ and Resistance [pic] A. The Electrical Nature of Matter All atoms are made up of protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons. The classical model of the atom consists of a positively charged nucleus made up of protons and neutrons‚ and a number of negatively charged electrons in orbit about the nucleus. The simplest form of the model pictures electrons as tiny particles which circle the nucleus in definite orbits similar to the orbits of the planets about the sun. Though this model

through ordinary matter almost unaffected. The neutrino (meaning "small neutral one") is denoted by the Greek letter ν (nu). Neutrinos are similar to the more familiar electron‚ with one crucial difference: neutrinos do not carry electric charge‚ which means that they are not affected by the electromagnetic forces which act on electrons. Neutrinos are affected only by the weak sub-atomic force‚ of much shorter range than electromagnetism‚ and gravity‚ which is relatively weak on the subatomic scale

charges repel‚ unlike charges attract. Electrons and protons have‚ to fantastic accuracy‚ equal and opposite charges. Quarks have 1/3 the electron charge but are never seen alone! In wires electrons do the moving to carry electrical current. In solutions or plasmas there can be positive charge carriers‚ ions or protons. Although the signal to tell electrons to move in wires travels at about 2/3 the speed of light (FAST in laymen’s terms) the electrons only travel at a person’s walking pace

or part of Mr. Cohn. d) Atoms can bond ionically‚ whereby an atom gives up valence electrons and becomes a + ion‚ and another atom receives those electrons and becomes a – ion. The overall charge on the molecule then becomes zero. e) Atoms can bond covalently‚ whereby atoms share valence electrons‚ such that all atoms involved complete their valence rings (usually with a total of 2 or 8 electrons) f) Determining if atoms will bond ionically or covalently can often be done by noting
