Cerium and the element before‚ lanthanum are both used for dramatic spark effects in movies. They get a big block of it and put it to a grinder. Its atomic number is 58 and its chemical symbol is Ce. The last element I will discuss is neodymium. It is the best known out of the lanthanide series out of rare earths because of the one and only neodymium magnets. They are the strongest

Chemical Reactions & Equations CHEMICAL REACTION : In a reaction when the original state of the particle changes and it cannot be reversed by simple physical means‚ this type of reaction is known as chemical reaction. Example :- Fermentation of grapes‚ burning of wood etc. In this reaction we have seen that after burning of wood‚ coal is formed and we cannot make wood from coal. PHYSICAL REACTION : In a reaction when original state of the particle can be recovered by any means then this type of

Chemical Periodicity Gorospe‚ Jheremy Alden B. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The experiment Chemical Periodicity was demonstrated by using different samples of Group IA‚ Group IIA and Group IVA elements. We placed each of the samples in each test tubes and the physical state‚ color‚ and appearance was identified. We determined the solubility of the elements by using distilled water. We used red and blue litmus paper for the Group

Three things are usually required for a chemical explosion: a chemical reaction that occurs very rapidly‚ a large increase in gas pressure‚ and a confined-reaction vessel in which the pressure of the gaseous products can increase to a point that the gases break violently out of the container. In this chemistry and physics science fair project‚ you will use the combustion of ethanol to provide energy for a small explosion. The chemical equation that describes the combustion of ethanol is shown below
