Carbone 2/8/14 Environmental science There are 8 planets in our solar system; these are divided into two types‚ large gas giants (Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus and Neptune) and smaller rocky terrestrial planets (Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth and Mars). The order from closest to the Sun outwards is; Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ Mars‚ Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus and finally Neptune. Until 2006 Pluto was also classed as a planet‚ however it is now classified as a dwarf planet (meeting the first two requirements of the definition

The benefits of the chloralkali process to people’s lives far outweigh the disadvantages which makes it a process fundamental to human life. The products produced by the chloralkali process are very important and have a wide range of uses. The element chlorine produced in the process is responsible for: the production of disinfectant‚ PVC production and for the extraction of metals. Sodium hydroxide the other main product of the chloralkali industry is used to: purify bauxite‚ produce soap and

Are superheavy elements really so unstable that there is no point trying to synthesis new elements? This leads to the question: ‘How does the size of an element affect the stability?’ What are superheavy elements? The scientific term ‘superheavy’ means elements that have an atomic number that is heavier than‚ element 101‚ which is Rutherfordium. As they suffer from radioactive decay when exposed to lighter elements‚ they are not naturally occurring. Meaning‚ scientists can only artificially make

non-stellar objects. It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system’s mass is in the Sun‚ with most of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets‚ Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth and Mars‚ also called the terrestrial planets‚ are primarily composed of rock and metal. Sun The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is almost perfectly spherical and consists of hot plasma interwoven with magnetic

Alfrancus C Planet Mercury Mercury is in many ways similar to the Moon: its surface is heavily cratered and very old; it has no plate tectonics. On the other hand‚ Mercury is much denser than the Moon (5.43 gm/cm3 vs 3.34). Mercury is the second densest major body in the

of thermometers and are known as the fixed points. The temperature range that is typically marked on a laboratory thermometer is −10oC to 110oC. Thermometric liquids are those that are used in thermometers. Some examples of such liquids are mercury and alcohol. The thermometric fluid used by Galileo Galilei in his thermometer was air. Alcohol‚ which is used as a thermometric liquid‚ has the following characteristic properties : 1. Alcohol has a very low freezing point of about −112oC and
