History of Table Tennis February 10‚ 2009 Table tennis‚ also known as ping pong‚ is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight‚ hollow ball back and forth with rackets (also known as ’bats’ or ’paddles’). The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play

Sodium‚ one of many elements in the periodic table is being used in everyday life‚ it is also an essential element within your body. It is just another element‚ but one of the differences is that this element is something that most people consume every day. Sodium has played an important role in everyday life because of its uses in medicine‚ industry‚ and agriculture(Shriver). Sodium was discovered in 1807 by a man named Sir Humphrey Davy. He was well known for his discoveries of most alkali metals

Trends in the Periodic Table * Generally‚ the atomic radius decreases across a period from left to right and increases down a given group. The atoms with the largest atomic radii are located in Group I and at the bottom of groups. Moving from left to right across a period‚ electrons are added one at a time to the outer energy shell. Electrons within a shell cannot shield each other from the attraction to protons. Since the number of protons is also increasing‚ the effective nuclear charge increases

Table Tennis Table Tennis The Table Tennis sport got its start near the end of the 19th century in England. After dinner one night‚ some Victorians decided to turn their dinning room table into a miniature version of lawn tennis. They lines up books as a net‚ used lids from empty cigar boxes as rackets‚ and the ball was made from string (table tennis balls were also made from champagne corks or rubber). Started as an after dinner activity‚ over the years‚ table tennis would turn into a sport

across a laboratory‚ classroom‚ chemistry textbook or lecture theatre that doesn’t contain a periodic table of the elements. It required the immense research and determination of the scientist Dmitri Mendeleev to show us that all elements followed a natural form and provided us with the first decent periodic table. There are 111 elements recognised today by IUPAC and they are arranged in the periodic table in horizontal groups and vertical periods. The eight groups consist of the alkali metals‚ the alkaline

Dinner Armin sets the table with his mother’s best china and silverware. He replaces the candle with a fresh one and sets the candlestick in the center of the table. He pops the cork from a South African red to let it breathe before dinner. He runs his hand down the lace tablecloth smoothing any wrinkles. He wants everything to be perfect. Armin returns to the kitchen to begin cooking. Fresh garlic sizzles as it hits the oil in the pan. He sautés the minced garlic until the aroma fills the room

Periodic Table Elements such as gold and silver have been known since the earliest times. In 1649‚ a German alchemist‚ Hennig Brand made the first scientific discovery of an element‚ phosphorous. In the next 200 years‚ knowledge about the properties of elements and their compounds was gained. By 1869‚ 63 elements had been discovered in total. Scientists began to categorise those elements according to the similarities of their physical and chemical properties‚ which become the modern Period table we

Joy Jenkins Changing of the periodic table Today‚ the periodic table organizes the elements in horizontal rows‚ or periods‚ by order of increasing atomic number. The elements are also organized in vertical columns‚ or groups‚ based on similar physical characteristics and chemical behavior. I believe the periodic table will continue to evolve as new elements are discovered. One of the earliest attempts to organize the elements based on their chemical and physical properties was made by German

Periodic Table The periodic table is a table‚ where all known chemical elements are arranged. They are organized on the basis of their atomic numbers‚ electrons and chemical properties. The atomic of an element is the same as the number of electrons or protons in that particular atom. They elements in the table are placed in order from the lowest to the highest. 429768018669000The periodic table is ordered into periods and groups. A row of elements across the periodic table is calleda a period
