Nuclear Chemistry Nuclear science is the study of sub-atomic particles and their function in various subjects. A nucleon is the collective name for the two components of the atomic nucleus: the neutron and the proton. Isotopes are any of the different forms of an element each having different mass numbers‚ which give the total number of nucleons. The major fundamentals of nuclear chemistry include radioactive decay‚ the nature of fission and fusion‚ and mass defect. The decomposition of the

How has the study of chemistry affected the lives of ordinary people? Every single day‚ without even realising it‚ we use so many things that are brought to us by the discoveries and advances in chemistry. Many of these things we take for granted‚ and don’t even bother to question how it got there‚ why it is there‚ and how it works. Chemistry makes up everything in our lives‚ from the air that we breathe‚ to the plastic on the keyboard I’m typing on now‚ and a in depth study of some of the wonderful

The Inorganic Chemistry of Carbon Inorganic Carbon For more than 200 years‚ chemists have divided compounds into two categories. Those that were isolated from plants or animals were called organic‚ while those extracted from ores and minerals were inorganic. Organic chemistry is often defined as the chemistry of carbon. But this definition would include calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and graphite‚ which more closely resemble inorganic compounds. We will therefore define organic chemistry as the study
