Chemistry: It is the science concerned with the atomic composition of substances‚ elements and their interactions‚ and the formation‚ decomposition and properties of molecules. -Biological chemistry or Biochemistry is the biological or physiological chemistry of living organisms and of the chemical changes occurring therein. Structure of Matter: All living and nonliving things are composed of matter. Matter; is anything that occupies space and has mass. Mass is the amount of matter in an object

SBI4U-C 1 Lesson Introducing Biochemistry 1 Lesson 1 Biology SBI4U-C Introduction If you think about it‚ living things are made up of chemicals. The cells‚ tissues‚ organs‚ and organ systems that together make up a functioning organism are all the product of interacting chemicals. In order to understand how the organism functions‚ you must also recognize how these chemicals function. The study of the chemicals that are involved in living things is known as biochemistry

between mass and energy. His theory was E=mc2‚ which is basically "energy equals mass times the speed of light squared". About 35 years have passed before someone proved this theory. In 1934‚ a physicist named Enrico Fermi discovered that neutrons could split many forms of atoms. With these new discoveries‚ Fermi led a group of scientists to create the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. So now that we have some background history on nuclear energy‚ let’s examine our advantages

element is the most common version of an atom. The element you see on the periodic table for oxygen is the most common version of the oxygen atom that exists in nature. There are several different kinds of oxygen atoms (with different numbers of neutrons than the one found on the table)‚ but they are not as commonly found in nature. All atoms are made of even smaller

Why Uranium and water? Why are these materials important? Well‚ they are relevant to me because it is the reason I had to move. For his job‚ my father worked at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant. Furthermore‚ uranium is the main fuel source for power plants across the country. After facing several economic problems the plant is forced to shut down‚ leaving over 400 employees jobless by next year‚ this unfortunate event lead to the need for a new job. Which prompted the switch from nuclear to hydroelectric

I use many chemicals throughout my day‚ especially in the morning.The deodorant I use each morning includes Aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly (Al4Zr(OH)12Cl4 Gly x nH2O). Aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly can cause irritation in sensitive underarm areas. These irritations can cause allergic reactions like contact dermatitis‚ acne‚ or itching. The contact solution I use each morning includes Sodium Borate (Na2[B4O5(OH)4]·8H2O). According to my research‚ Sodium Borate is normally slightly

559 Testing Your Comprehension 1. Fossil fuels are abundant on our planet today and can be used to create many sources of energy which is why they are so prevalent. They are considered nonrenewable sources of energy because they take millions of years to form and because humans are rapidly depleting our fossil fuels faster then they can be created‚ which makes these fuels nonrenewable. 2. Fossil fuels were formed from the tissues of organisms that lived 100-500 million years ago. The energy these

in large amounts. 2. Where in an atom are protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons located? An atom’s protons and neutrons are in its nucleus. A cloud of electrons surrounds the nucleus. 3. What does an element’s atomic number indicate? An atom’s atomic number indicates the number of protons in its nucleus. 4. What is the relationship between an atom’s mass number and an element’s atomic mass? An atom’s mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The atomic mass is the average mass
