of all the atoms present in one molecule of that compound. Example: the molecular mass of sodium bromide‚ NaBr‚ is 103‚ which represents the sum of the atomic mass of sodium (23) plus that of bromide (80). * Calculating the Molecular Mass (Formula Mass) of a Compound * To find the molecular mass of a compound‚ add the atomic masses of all the atoms that are present in that compound. * In the compound H2O‚ the molecular mass can be calculated by adding the mass of two atoms of hydrogen

Happiness and Moral Virtue In Aristotle’s Nicomachaen Ethics‚ the principle concern is the nature of human well-being. According to Aristotle‚ everything we do in life‚ we do for the sake of some good‚ or at least something perceived to be good (1094a1-3). When inquiring as to whether there is some good desired for its own sake‚ Aristotle envisioned a problem that either there is an infinite series of goods desired for the sake of something higher‚ in which case one’s desires can never be satisfied

Classical Greece and Hellenistic Greece have a lot of differences. They have differences in time as the classical Greek‚ or‚ Hellenic period was the time before the death of Alexander The Great. Some of them are the studies of philosophy‚ literature‚ art‚ science‚ and religion. As a result of Alexander’s campaigns‚ the Greek world was forever changed after his death in 323 BCE. Alexander’s campaigns had brought the Greeks into contact with a number of Asian cultures‚ and Alexander had wanted

The Bohr Model An atom* is the smallest particle of an element that retains the characteristics of that element. Each of the known 118 elements has atoms that are different from the atoms of all other elements. This gives each element a unique atomic structure. According to the classical Bohr model‚ atoms have a planetary type of structure that consists of a central nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons‚ as illustrated in Figure 1–1. The nucleusconsists of positively charged particles called

substitution of one or more atoms of hydrogen with hydrocarbon radicals. Therefore‚ if one hydrogen atom from methane is replaced by a methyl radical‚ -CH3‚ the hydrocarbon (superior to methane) will have the composition C2H6‚ named ethane. The alkanes can be: with a continuous chain‚ if all the carbon atoms are bound with at most two other carbon atoms‚ and with a branched chain‚ if one or more carbon atoms from the molecule are bound with at least two other carbon atoms. Such an isomerism of chain

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 bond: bond in which one or more pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms. Ionic bond: bond in which one or more electrons from one atom are removed and attached to another atom‚ resulting in positive and negative

arrangement of terminal atoms‚ or groups of atoms about a central atom in a covalent compound‚ or charged ion‚ is determined solely by the repulsions between electron pairs present in the valence shell of the central atom. The number of electron pairs around the central atom can be determined by writing the Lewis structure for the molecule. The geometry of the molecule depends on the number of bonding groups (pairs of electrons) and the number of nonbonding electrons on the central atom. The five important

is electricity? Where does it come from? How does it work? Before we understand all that‚ we need to know a little bit about atoms and their structure. All matter is made up of atoms‚ and atoms are made up of smaller particles. The three main particles making up an atom are the proton‚ the neutron and the electron. Electrons spin around the center‚ or nucleus‚ of atoms‚ in the same way the moon spins around the earth. The nucleus is made up of neutrons and protons. Electrons contain a negative
