Carbon and Its Compounds Carbon: Introduction Atomic Number: 6 Electronic Configuration: 2‚ 4. Valence electrons: 4 Property: Non-metal Abundance:- Carbon is the 4th most abundant substance in universe and 15th most abundant substance in the earth’s crust. Compounds having carbon atoms among the components are known as carbon compounds. Previously‚ carbon compounds could only be obtained from a living source; hence they are also known as organic compounds. Bonding In Carbon:- The Covalent

Christianity flourished in the Middle Ages and the human body was considered less important than the spirit. The emphasis on chastity and celibacy created an atmosphere where there was little interest to study the human body‚ so nude figures were rare in the Middle Ages. During this period‚ “the human body was seen only as a temporary vessel for the soul and the body was seen as sinful and the cause of temptation.” The limited Middle Age sculptures of nude bodies do not reflect real life or an understanding

The Skeleton is made up of 206 bones. There are two sections in the skeleton‚ the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton supports the head‚ neck and torso‚ and the appendicular supports the limbs and attaches the limbs to the rest of the body. There are five types of bones in the body‚ short bones‚ long bones‚ flat bones‚ irregular bones‚ and sesamoid bones. The skeleton has many functions. It supports the body and gives the body its shape. It allows movement to occur. The

dehydration as long as sports have existed. Gatorade’s ad is very convincing and influential‚ and they do this by explaining the most obvious effect in the human body after any kind of physical activity‚ dehydration. Dehydration’s definition is when the body lose large amount of water‚ however water isn’t the only thing that is lost in the human body. Since 1965‚ gatorade has evolved from being just water to sports drink and the image that enhances athlete’s performances‚ and the games haven’t been the

COrdination compounds Question 9.1: Explain the bonding in coordination compounds in terms of Werner’s postulates. =Werner’s postulates explain the bonding in coordination compounds as follows: (i) A metal exhibits two types of valencies namely‚ primary and secondary valencies. Primary valencies are satisfied by negative ions while secondary valencies are satisfied by both negative and neutral ions. (In modern terminology‚ the primary valency corresponds to the oxidation number of the metal

neurotransmitters that affect humans differently. The brain uses these neurotransmitters to create different feelings and emotions within humans. A deficiency in these neurotransmitter causes problems with nerve impulses that can lead to depression. There are many drugs that can intentionally change these normal chemical processes in our brain to maintain the feeling of happiness; however‚ these drugs are extremely dangerous to the human body and are unhealthy for humans. `The brain is a complex organ

The involuntary activation of the quadriceps muscle was faster than voluntary time; the reason could be that when you had to hear the sound for the voluntary activation you had to process the sound than process kicking. This would take longer than automatically kicking with the involuntary activation. In the body an impulse nerve

IONIC COMPOUNDS In chemistry‚ an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. Usually‚ the positively charged portion consists of metal cations and the negatively charged portion is an anion or polyatomic ion. Ions in ionic compounds are held together by the electrostatic forcesbetween oppositely charged bodies. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points‚ and they are hard and very brittle. Ions can be single atoms‚ as the sodium and chlorine in
