Chemical Periodicity ------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT The experiment chemical periodicity shows the properties and reactions belonging to group IA‚ IIA‚ and IVA. Proper procedures and observations were done to determine the solubility‚ physical state‚ color‚ and appearance of the compounds namely Li2CO3‚ Na2CO3‚ K2CO3‚ CaCO3‚ and BaCO3. The results shows that Li2CO3‚ Na2CO3‚ K2CO3 were soluble in water‚ while MgCO3‚ CaCO3‚and BaCO3 were not soluble. All of these compounds

Chemical Bonding Chemical compounds are formed by the joining of two or more atoms. A stable compound occurs when the total energy of the combination has lower energy than the separated atoms. The bound state implies a net attractive force between the atoms ... a chemical bond. The two extreme cases of chemical bonds are: Covalent Bonds Covalent chemical bonds involve the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms‚ in contrast to the transfer of electrons in ionic bonds. Such bonds lead

The hypothesis If a chemical reaction occurs‚ then there will be indicators of a chemical change‚ was supported throughout this experiment. Throughout this experiment there were several reactions that took place‚ and an indicator of such chemical reactions could be seen throughout each one. The first piece of identifiable evidence was present in the first step‚ which was when copper (II) nitrate and sodium hydroxide were combined. When stirred‚ a blue precipitate formed at the bottom of the test

The human body has five senses that keep in touch with what is going on in the external world: touch‚ taste‚ smell‚ sight‚ and hearing. Below I will describe how these senses work. Taste- The tongue is the body part that helps us sense taste. The tongue consists of taste buds (mushroom like projections) which are specific receptors for sense of taste. Each bud contains several cell types in microvilli that project through pores and chemically sense food. Gustatory receptor cells communicate with

Explain in your own words what it means for a chemical system to be in the state of dynamic equilibrium. All reactions are able to reach equilibrium but only if they it happens in closed systems. Dynamic equilibrium is a state of balance where forward and reversed reactions happen at the same time.
