neon (Ne)‚ argon (Ar)‚ krypton (Kr)‚ xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn) ; are called "elemental gases". Alternatively they are sometimes known as "molecular gases" to distinguish them from molecules that are also chemical compounds. Etymology The word gas is a neologism first used by the early 17th-century Flemish chemist J.B. Van Helmont.[4] Van Helmont’s word appears to have been simply a phonetic transcription of the Greek word χάος Chaos – the g in Dutch being pronounced like ch in "loch" – in which

and improve the environment. The cost of gas is expensive enough and car companies are employing new tactics to alleviate most of the pollution that cars cause‚ by the use of electric cars‚ cars that have higher gas mileage‚ smaller cars‚ smaller engines and inspection regulations for each automobile to be done every year. As far as raising gas prices‚ I think that will cause more damage than good. People rely too much on transportation nowadays to make gas expensive. It would potentially put the

Oil and gas conservation means their better and more efficient use with regard to economic‚ social or environment costs and benefits resulting minimization of wastage and protection of environment. A very high priority is attached by the government to conservation of petroleum products in view of the need to reduce increasing gap between demand for and supply of oil and petroleum products. Government has initiated various steps to promote conservation of petroleum products in the different sectors

The purpose of this lab was to learn about Newton’s laws of motion by completing an experiment‚ to see how the forces act on objects. The independent variable of this experiment is the type and amount of materials used for the interior of the vehicle (out of the material list) and how they were used. The dependent variable is how and if the interior of the vehicle protected the egg from getting cracked. The controlled variables of this experiment were the height that the vehicle was dropped from
