Characteristics of Gases Section 10-1 The Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Matter Prerequisites The kinetic-molecular theory is based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion. The theory can be used to explain the properties of solids‚ liquids‚ and gases in terms of the energy of particles and the forces that act between them. ideal gas: an imaginary gas that perfectly fits all the assumption of the kinetic-molecular theory. Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases (based on the following

Claire Kerns Bio Per.1 2-13-13 Cancer reflection Is cancer a disease due to genetics or environment? Cancer is a disease both caused by genetics and environmental factors. Each person has either proto-oncogenes or oncogenes. These are the genes that are responsible for regulating cell division. When a person has an oncogene it is a mutation of a proto-oncogene. The oncogene (dominant gene) tells the cell to continuously divide. This can be a problem if the cell is cancerous. Cancer cells

MOLECULAR BIOLOGIST Education/Training Required: All molecular biologists must at least earn a bachelor’s degree in a related science field. Required courses usually include cell biology‚ evolutionary biology‚ genetics‚ ecology‚ general chemistry‚ biochemistry‚ organic chemistry‚ physics‚ molecular biology‚ multivariable calculus‚ and linear algebra. Most jobs for molecular biologists require a doctoral degree. During college‚ students may want to participate in science-related activities

Our first essay of Freshman Composition was to write a narrative about something that impacted our lives. I didn’t really know what to expect from this assignment. I knew I could write about my car wreck and give precise details about every little moment. When I started writing‚ I created a mind map to organize all the details. However‚ I was worried about my writing skills. I didn’t know what my instructor was expecting from me in this paper. I have never been a strong writer and that really concerned

An Essay on The Philosophy of Composition by Edgar Allan Poe "The Philosophy of Composition" is an essay written by Edgar Allan Poe that describes a theory in which he discusses what process of writing leads to a successful poem or a narratative. E. A. Poe wrote this essay shortly after he had completed his masterpiece "The Raven" and it is indeed this very poem that he chose as an example to describe how to craft a poem according to his methods. "The Raven" as he says was an attempt to compose

1) Research Problem What is Molecular Gastronomy? Best described by Hervé This‚ as the understanding of food apart from the chemistry and physics behind the preparations of any dish for example‚ why a mayonnaise becomes firm or why a soufflé swells. So‚ how can chemistry and physics lead to a new ways of cooking? One example quoted by Herve is the egg. If we heat an egg‚ water evaporates‚ the proteins denature and polymerize to enclose water‚ and the end result is a cooked egg. Alternatively

1) Explain why alveolar gas has a different composition from air. Atmospheric (external) air contains a high percentage of oxygen and nitrogen whereas alveoli gas contains a lower percentage of oxygen and a higher percentage of carbon dioxide. The differences in composition are due to the fact that gaseous exchange is taking place within the alveoli in the lungs. Oxygen is diffusing from the alveoli into the pulmonary artery and carbon dioxide is diffusing back into the alveoli from the pulmonary

7.6 Summary 1. 7.6 Molecular Orbital Theory a. Intro i. Molecular orbital theory states that the atomic orbitals involved in bonding actually combine to form new orbitals that are the property of the entire molecule‚ rather than of the individual atoms forming the bonds. 1. The new orbitals are called molecular orbitals. ii. Electrons shared by atoms in a molecule reside in the molecular orbitals. iii. Molecular orbitals are like atomic orbitals
