He thought there must be some rules to explain why everything in the universe, big or little, acts as it does. Why don't the stars moving around the sky bump into each other? What makes the tiny atoms stick together to form all the different things there are?
Those naked hydrogen atoms then fuse together into helium atoms, and that reaction releases enough energy to counter the intense pressure of gravity collapsing the cloud of gas. The battle between gravity and the energy from fusion reactions fuels our sun and billions of other stars in our galaxy...
Graphites may be characterized as laminated structures of carbon, that is, structures consisting of superposed layers or laminae of carbon atoms joined together by weak van der Waals forces. In considering the graphite structure, two axes or directions are usually noted, to wit, the “c” axis...
Molecules aretwo or more atoms chemically joined together. Compounds are two or more different elements joined together chemically. When can you say that a compound is molecular? Molecular compounds arechemical compounds that take the form of discrete molecules. Examples include such familiar substances...
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” “God has no physical form, other than as everything and everyone around you, and yourselves. To ‘see’, in this sense, means to receive spiritual perception, spiritual sight – the sight that causes you to actually see every...
a) Monomers or polymers are joined to form longer chains. b) A molecule of water is consumed. Its atoms are added to a bond, putting an OH group on one end and a hydrogen atom on the other. c) What are the structures a...
While in England for five weeks last September/October, Jenny, #2Daughter, joined me for the last two to three weeks and she particularly wanted to see some of the old haunts her parents used to escape ‘father’. One was the Cowherds Inn on the Southampton Common. One evening, I took...
True or False: All atoms of the same element have the same mass. True or false? Isotopes have a different atomic number but the same mass number. True or false? If two atoms have the same mass numbers but different atomic numbers, then they can be...
“When I first joined the group, I was fascinated by the experimental platform that they had come up with,” says Ghaith Makey, a research scientist in her lab. “It looks simple, but it shows really complex behavior.” “One shoots a laser at a dish of microscopic particles and record...
