Gold is a soft metal that is largely unreactive. Gold jewellery can lie underground for thousands of years and emerge shiny after that lengthy exposure to air‚ water‚ and other chemicals in the environment. Gold does dissolve in some solvents as indicated below and does react with halogens. The most common oxidation states of gold are Au(I) and Au(III) but there are a few examples of Au(V) (various anions [AuF6]- and [Au2F10]). The Au(III) ion has the d8configuration which gives rise to many square

Brains vs Metal For entertainment‚ humans often draw themselves to movies about huge robots looming over the whole city‚ trampling over skyscrapers and squashing puny humans underneath their cold‚ metal feet. Movies like this depict artificial intelligence to be “the end of the world.” While this someday towards the future might be true‚ robots do help us with some activities throughout the day. On the other hand‚ these robots do have many downsides to them. Ray Bradbury captures these downsides

Abstract This report is to highlight the methods‚ results and theory relevant during an engineering experiment called “cold rolling of metals". The purpose of this report is to show how readings obtained from the set-out experiment‚ can be evaluated to determine the behavior of 3 selected materials; Brass‚ Copper and Aluminium through the process of cold rolling. The form of the materials are in small strips which are processed via cold-rolling method 4 times from their original state to evaluate

Cumberland Metal Industries: Engineered Products Division‚ 1980 October 21‚ 2013 CA by Yiwen Zhang Cumberland Metal Industries (CMI) is one of the largest metal manufacturers in the world. The company evolved from selling metal as a finished product to one that used it as a raw material‚ increasing sales from $250‚000 in 1963 to over $18‚500‚000 in 1979. Currently‚ CMI relies heavily on SlipSeal‚ which is used as a high-temperature sealant in automobiles. Although CMI dominates

(4) Christy Chan (5) BIOLOGY LAB REPORT Investigation of the effect of metal ions on enzyme activity Objective To study the effect of two heavy metal ions‚ lead (II) ions and silver ions on the enzyme activity of invertase. Introduction Hypothesis: The rate of enzyme reaction of invertase decreases and the reaction eventually stops as the heavy metal ions inhibit the enzyme reactions. Biological principle: Heavy metal ions are non-competitive inhibitors. They do not compete with the substrates

and is titled The Magdalene with the Smoking Flame. It was done in the year 1640‚ using oil paint on canvas. La Tour did this painting in France. It is currently located at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art‚ but is not currently being displayed to the public. The lines in this work of art are of a large variety. On the right side of the painting a lot of the objects are horizontal. The woman though is sitting up vertically‚ along with the flame. There are a few diagonal lines also‚ for example;

Metals and Halogens reactions Elements such as fluorine‚ chlorine‚ bromine‚ iodine‚ and astatine belong to Group 7‚ Halogens. At room temperature‚ fluorine is a yellow gas‚ chlorine is a pale green gas‚ bromine is a red liquid‚ and iodine is a purple solid. Astatine is a radioactive element‚ therefore it exists only in small amounts. All the halogens exist in diatomic molecules. They have high ionization energies and are the most electronegative elements. Their electron configuration ns2 np5 make
