It’s a rarity that we should come across a laboratory‚ classroom‚ chemistry textbook or lecture theatre that doesn’t contain a periodic table of the elements. It required the immense research and determination of the scientist Dmitri Mendeleev to show us that all elements followed a natural form and provided us with the first decent periodic table. There are 111 elements recognised today by IUPAC and they are arranged in the periodic table in horizontal groups and vertical periods. The eight groups

DO ARTIFACTS HAVE POLITICS? [from Winner‚ L. (1986). The whale and the reactor: a search for limits in an age of high technology. Chicago‚ University of Chicago Press‚ 19-39.] No idea is more provocative in controversies about technology and society than the notion that technical things have political qualities. At issue is the claim that the machines‚ structures‚ and systems of modern material culture can be accurately judged not only for their contributions to efficiency and productivity and their

Overview Chemical Warfare is using the chemical properties of a substance to your advantage during war. This has been going on for centuries. Even the most basic forms of weapons were used. People have been putting poison on the end of their spears and arrows since they have been around. Over the years‚ it has also developed into much more advanced chemistry. In this article‚ I am going to focus on the more advanced‚ modern uses of chemical warfare in World War I and World War II. World War

During the final stage of World War II‚ the United States dropped nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9‚ 1945‚ respectively. The United States had dropped the bombs with the consent of the United Kingdom as outlined in the Quebec Agreement. The two bombings‚ which killed at least 129‚000 people‚ remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in history.
