The Identification and Production of Materials 1. Fossil fuels provide both energy and raw materials such as ethylene‚ for the production of other substances. Students Learn To: .2 Identify the industrial source of ethylene from the cracking of some of the fractions from the refining of petroleum. • Ethylene is produced either from natural gas or crude oil‚ which are mixtures of hydrocarbons. One method involves… Cracking: a process by which hydrocarbons with higher molecular

measureable records that can provide data on factors such as temperature‚ ice cover‚ and precipitation. Isotopes – A form of an element in which the atoms have more (or less) than the usual number of neutrons. Isotopes of a given element have identical chemical properties‚ but differ in mass (weight) as a result of the superfluity (or deficiency) of neutrons. Many isotopes are unstable and radioactive.

I will cover specific information such as subatomic particles and availability in nature as well as information on the element’s isotopes. First of all‚ the element was not recognized to be different than iron until the 1600’s. Miners in Germany were trying to extract copper from ore‚ but were unsuccessful at any rate. They narrowed their problem down to a dark red ore‚ often with

The amount of radioactivity recorded from an isotope decreased from 2720 counts to 85 counts in 45 hrs. Determine the time required for the radioactivity of the same isotope to drop from 2400 counts to 300 counts?

conclusion was based upon carefully designed and conducted experiments that compared the ratios in rock samples of parent elements to daughter elements ( some of which would have been from radioactive decay of the parent‚ some of which may have been present in the sample at the time of formation). Since radioactive decay is known to occur at a constant rate‚ the age of a rock can be determined from the ratio of the parent element to the daughter element. The concerns about these dating methods were

Ruthenium often called its symbol‚ Ru‚ which atomic number is 44 and the atomic mass is 101.07 u ± 0.02 u. This element is known to have 27 radioactive isotopes but 7 regular isotopes. Ruthenium is solid at room temperature and looks like a hard‚ silvery-white metal with a shiny surface ( See page 2 for picture. ).The 3 main types of subatomic particles are protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons. To humans Ruthenium is highly toxic and carcinogenic‚ and shouldn’t be touched if came into contact with.
