The Origin and Evolution of Life on Earth Why do we start the discussion of biology with a discussion of geology? Here are some reasons why one would do this: * All life on earth is linked to geology; likewise‚ many surface geologic features and processes have been influenced by life on earth. The origin and early evolution of the earth are especially important when looking at the origin and early evolution of life on earth. * Life chemistry had its origin with the elements available to

Thesis: The creation and use of nuclear weapons were an unnecessary‚ unsafe‚ and an unethical addition to the war industries already expansive arsenal. I. Nuclear weapons have a short‚ but expansive history. a) People who made the first discoveries about fission paved the way for nuclear weapons science. b) The Manhattan Project was the beginning of the nuclear age. II. Nuclear weapons are unnecessary. a) Nuclear weapons‚ and the states that possess them‚ cause tension and paranoia amongst their

about atoms being indivisible (that’s how we know about protons and neutrons and electrons and the other subatomic particles). And how atoms of the same element have identical properties: atoms of an element may have slightly different masses‚ e.g: ISOTOPES. You can see an atom using the scanning tunneling microscope. 4-2: Discovering subatomic particles and Nuclear particles (alpha‚ beta‚ gamma) Discovering the electron was a complete accident Cathode ray tube: used by Sir William Crookes.

Chapter 2 The Components of Matter Elements‚ Compounds‚ and Mixtures: An Atomic Overview An element consists of only one kind of atom. An element is one kind of substance – the composition is fixed. Each element is unique because the properties of its atoms are unique. Molecules are structures containing two or more atoms chemically bound together. Diatomic molecules are two-atom molecules such as elemental oxygen. A compound is a type of matter in which two or more different elements are chemically
