Misplaced and Dangling Modifiers You have a certain amount of freedom in deciding where to place yourmodifiers in a sentence: We rowed the boat vigorously. We vigorously rowed the boat. Vigorously we rowed the boat. However‚ you must be careful to avoid misplaced modifiers -- modifiers that are positioned so that they appear to modify the wrong thing. In fact‚ you can improve your writing quite a bit by paying attention to basic problems like misplaced modifiers and dangling modifiers. Misplaced

DANGLING AND MISPLACED MODIFIERS - Revised For clarity in English‚ modifiers must be close to the words they describe or limit. A modifier dangles when the word or phrase it describes is missing from its sentence. A modifier is misplaced when the word or phrase it describes is not close enough to be clear. Many modification problems are created by introductory phrases. After an introductory phrase‚ always supply a logical subject. That subject is usually the “doer” of the action and answers

Wire A wire is a single‚ usually cylindrical‚ flexible strand or rod of metal. Wires are used to bear mechanical loads or electricity and telecommunications signals. Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Standard sizes are determined by various wire gauges. The term wire is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands‚ as in ’multistranded wire’‚ which is more correctly termed a wire rope in mechanics‚ or a cable in electricity. Although

Flame Test Laboratory Report Introduction The purpose of this lab is to observe and identify metallic ions‚ using flame tests. The traditional flame test originated when Robert Bunsen invented the Bunsen burner to test two new alkali metals he and his partner had discovered. “A flame test is an analytic procedure used in chemistry to detect the presence of certain elements‚ primarily metal ions‚ based on each element’s characteristic emission spectrum” (Flame Test 1). Using this test‚ an element

Flame Tests 12.01.2010 19.01.2010 Introduction The normal electron configuration of atoms or ions of an element is known as the “ground state”. In this most stable energy state‚ all electrons are in the lowest energy levels available. When atoms or ions in the ground state are heated to high temperatures‚ some electrons may absorb enough energy to allow them to “jump” to higher energy levels. The element is then said to be in the “excited state”. This excited configuration is unstable‚

INTRODUCTION Flame photometry‚ also referred to as ’flame atomic emission spectrometry ’ is a quick‚ economical and simple way of detecting traces of metal ions‚ primarily Sodium‚ Potassium‚ Lithium‚ Calcium‚ and Barium‚ in a concentrated solution. The process is an extension of the principles used in a flame test‚ with the main differences having more precision in the results‚ and the use of more advanced technology. This report focuses on the theory‚ applications‚ limitations and analysis of Flame Photometry

Title: Flame Test Aim: To determine the cation in each of the unknown substance X‚ Y and Z by observing the flame colour of different metal compounds. Introduction: A distinctive feature of many s-block metals is their ability to produce flame colours. At temperature of a Bunsen flame‚ a compound will decompose to give gaseous atoms of its constituent elements. When an electron in the gaseous atom absorbs energy from the flame‚ it will move from an orbital with lower energy to
