advances in nuclear weaponry have given the man the power to destroy the world. At certain points in history‚ such as the Cuban missile crisis‚ the world has stood on the brink of destruction. *The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation between the United States‚ the Soviet Union‚ and Cuba that occurred in the early 1960s during the Cold War. The crisis ranks as one of the major confrontations of the Cold War‚ and is often regarded as the moment in which the Cold War came closest to a nuclear war.

The Nuclear Weapon Controversy The question of whether countries should have nuclear weapons or be able to test them is a very controversial topic among the public. "A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions‚ either fission or a combination of fission and fusion." (Vicky: "Nuclear Weapon"). The destructive atomic bomb is an example of a nuclear weapon. The United States used the atomic bomb to destroy the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki‚

India’s Nuclear Policy The relationship between International Nuclear Regimes and developing nations is a matter of passionate debate. Debate is in process on certain issues like nuclear policy‚ on grand strategies‚ on basic political values etc. It is a debate with implications for our individual and collective existence and raises fundamental question about political preferences‚ approaches and pathways ahead. The end of World War II and use of nuclear bomb presented US with new kind of

easily accessible‚ how it operates can be overlooked. We don’t have to know how it works as long as it works. Nuclear energy powers twenty percent of world energy needs‚ but is it really worth it? Is the energy worth it for disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima? I believe that it’s not. Nuclear energy should not be utilized due to issues like radioactive water and radioactive waste. Nuclear power plants operate with highly pressurized‚ heated water‚ so what happens to this water once it’s spent? Contaminated

Multistep Synthesis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone In this laboratory experiment a synthesis was performed through several separate steps. The purpose of the experiment was to synthesize tetraphenylcyclopentadienone from benzaldehyde and to run reactions on carbonyl containing compounds. There was a total of three steps that led up to the synthesis of the final product‚ tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the experiment was the condensation of benzaldehyde to yield
