Etymology The name atom comes from the Greek ἄτομος (atomos‚ "indivisible") from ἀ- (a-‚ "not") and τέμνω (temnō‚ "I cut")‚[3] which means uncuttable‚ or indivisible‚ something that cannot be divided further.[4] The concept of an atom as an indivisible component of matter was first proposed by early Indian and Greek philosophers. In the 18th and 19th centuries‚ chemists provided a physical basis for this idea by showing that certain substances could not be further broken down by chemical methods

Natural Causes of Climate Change The earth’s climate is influenced and changed through natural causes like volcanic eruptions‚ ocean current‚ the earth’s orbital changes and solar variations. Volcanic Eruptions When a volcano erupts it throws out large volumes of sulphur dioxide (SO2)‚ water vapour‚ dust‚ and ash into the atmosphere. Large volumes of gases and ash can influence climatic patterns for years by increasing planetary reflectivity causing atmospheric cooling. Tiny particles called aerosols

Copernican Heliocentrism impact to Modern Science Michael White WGU February 24‚ 2011 Thesis Statement: Nicolas Copernicus Heliocentrism helped to revolutionize science and catapult man into space. Introduction: Early science and astronomers believed the earth to be the center of the universe; this was known as the Geocentric Model. Prior to the 17th Century the Catholic Church held onto and defended the Geocentric Model as the divine order of planetary alignment and man’s hierarchy in

Introduction Representing molecules as images allows us to impart a great deal of information concerning molecular structure. But these molecules can also be named‚ and there are occasions when this is more convenient than drawing a picture. In the early days of chemistry‚ the list of known compounds

1. What is Chemistry? The study of the composition‚ structure‚ and properties of matter. The processes that matter undergoes and the energy changes that accompany these processes. 2. What is the formula for density? If I give you the density of a substance and the volume‚ you should be able to tell me the mass… Density = Mass/Volume 3. Compare and contrast intensive and extensive properties. Give an example of each. Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter that is present. Such
