Sustainable Chemistry Terry Collins* Chemistry has an important role to play in achieving a sustainable civilization on Earth. The present economy remains utterly dependent on a massive inward flow of natural resources that includes vast amounts of nonrenewables. This is followed by a reverse flow of economically spent matter back to the ecosphere. Chemical sustainability problems are determined largely by these economy-ecosphere materials flows (see the figure‚ below)‚ which current chemistry education

Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a scuba set to breathe underwater. According to the Professional Association of Diving Instructor (PADI)‚ a “DEEP DIVE” is considered to be anything from 18 meters (60 ft) to 30 meters (100 ft). A scuba diver moves around underwater by using swim-fins attached to the feet‚ however external propulsion can be provided by a diver propulsion vehicle. Scuba diving may be performed for a number of reasons; either for recreational purposes

What is Chemistry? Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them. This is also the definition for physics‚ by the way. Chemistry and physics are specializations of physical science. Chemistry tends to focus on the properties of substances and the interactions between different types of matter‚ particularly reactions that involve electrons. Physics tends to focus more on the nuclear part of the atom‚ as well as the subatomic realm. Really‚ they are two sides of the

Argon (Ar) is a noble gas found in Group 0 on the periodic table. It gets its name because of its chemical inertness and comes from the Greek root ‘Argo‚’ which means lazy. This is because Argon doesn’t react well with other elements. The atomic number of Argon is 18 making it a member of the helium group of elements which are also called noble‚ or inert‚ gasses and are non reactive. Its electronic configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 The outermost shell‚ shell number three‚ has a completely
