Economies of scale Puregold is perhaps one of the companies that are benefiting from economies of scale‚ and for good reason. As a dominant player in retailing‚ the company’s size provides it with enormous efficiencies that it uses to keep costs low. For example‚ its size allows Puregold to do its own purchasing more efficiently since it has roughly 250 large stores worldwide. This gives the company tremendous bargaining power with its suppliers. Not only does it get its products cheaper‚ but its

Hamilton depression scale‚ a test that measures clinical depression symptoms. The test is to be administered by professionals only. The test is designed to be used on people who are already suffering from depression. The test is to measure to which degree the person is suffering. In any kind of psychological testing caution must be used to assure accurateness in order to truly help the individual and gain insight into what the test is designed for. The Hamilton depression scale otherwise known as

In the first reaction‚ magnesium was burned to produce magnesium oxide. The reaction produced a bright light‚ which is evidence of a chemical change. The second reaction occurred as a result of solid magnesium reacting with hydrochloric acid. The reaction produced heat and bubbles‚ both indications of a chemical change. A wood splint was used to determine that the gas produced was hydrogen gas‚ hence the other product is magnesium dichloride. In the third reaction‚ ammonium carbonate was heated to

Enzyme Activators and Inhibitors Lucia House AP Biology‚ Block 4 Mr. Trice October 18‚ 2012 Introduction: Metabolism is the totality of all of an organism’s chemical reactions. Chemical reactions occur due to enzymes‚ a substance which acts as a catalyst in driving chemical reactions in order to produce a desired product (Campbell and Reece‚ 2002). A catalyst is usually a protein; however‚ some catalytic molecules counter this generalization. A discovery made in the early nineteen- nineties

Chemical reactions involve the making and breaking of bonds. It is essential that we know what bonds are before we can understand any chemical reaction. To understand bonds‚ we will first describe several of their properties. The bond strength tells us how hard it is to break a bond. Bond lengths give us valuable structural information about the positions of the atomic nuclei. Bond dipoles inform us about the electron distribution around the two bonded atoms. From bond dipoles we may derive electronegativity

INTRODUCTION TO CHEMICAL BONDS CHEMICAL BOND Definition: A chemical bond is defined as a force that acts between two or more atoms to hold them together as a stable molecule. Main types of bond: 1. Ionic or electrovalent bond‚ 2. Covalent bond‚ 3. Coordinate covalent bond Forth type of bond: Metallic bond: The type of bonding which holds the atoms together in metal crystal. Valence electron: The electrons in the outer most energy level in an atom that takes part in chemical bonding

Chemical bond From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical substances that contain two or more atoms. The bond is caused by the electrostatic force of attraction between opposite charges‚ either between electrons and nuclei‚ or as the result of a dipole attraction. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" such as covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds"
