The positive protons in the nucleus and the negative electrons in the atom balance out each other making the atom neutral and balanced. I choose silver as my element for my project‚ but how did I know how to create it you may ask? In order to make a model of an atom you must know certain information that is conveniently given to you in the periodic table of elements to determine the atomic structure

2.23 Nitrate-Nitrogen and Nitrite-Nitrogen in Drinking Water Nitrate may be naturally occurring‚ although its presence in drinking water is more often associated with contamination by excessive use of fertilizers (both inorganic and organic)‚ in addition to inappropriate farming practices and sewage. The high nitrate level in drinking water is also associated with the simultaneous presence of bacterial contamination (World Health Organisation‚ 1996). The primary health hazard from drinking water

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 6.1 Summary Silver nanoparticles are nanoparticles of silver composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. Various shapes and sizes of nanoparticles are synthesized by physical‚ chemical and biological methods. The Chrysophyllum canito leaf extracts were used for silver nanoparticles synthesis. In this study utterly revealed the best milli molar concentrations of silver nanoparticles synthesis in diverse solvents such

Topic: Silver is an ancient mineral that dates back since prehistoric times. One thing that makes silver so special is that it was one of the first five metals that we started to use. Silver is found in almost every electronic device there is‚ and as time progresses the usage of it increases‚ unfortunately the amount there is left decreases. How is it created or source of the mineral? (5) Silver is not originated from Earth‚ as it happens it came from space. Many elements were formed in the big

The global flow of silver managed to redefine the social structure in many societies‚ as well as dramatically altered the basis of the economy in many European and Asian countries. Despite the economic change that came from the mass production of silver and its use as a standard currency‚ the growth of the silver industry brought as much change socially and culturally as it brought economic transformation. Many people viewed the conversion to silver being the standardized currency as a huge hindrance
