... This amazing discovery marked the beginning of modern organic chemist. Today we define organic chemistry as the chemistry of carbon compounds. (pg.579, Smoot, Price, and Smith, Merill Chemistry) The largest group of organic compounds are the hydrocarbons. These compounds are composed only of carbon and hydrogen. Almost all other organic compounds can be considered as derivatives of the hydrocarbons. If the carbon atoms are linked in chains, the compounds are called aliphatic compounds. If the atoms are linked in rings, the compounds are called cyclic compounds. (pg.581, ...ibid...) (Biology Pamphlet) ...

... for producing a quick hot flame, and it is for these purposes that it is now principally used in the military art. Standard is used in petards, as a base charge or expelling charge for shrapnel shells, in saluting and blank fire charges, as the bursting charge of practice shells and bombs. Despite the fact that is called under one name, there are many different forms of . These are merely classified as how strong their reactions are, in other words, the size and power of their reactions. The most typical form of is the mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. Another form of this powder is know ...

... defined in “The Human Genome Project,� is; 1. a population of genetically identical unicellular organisms or viruses arising from successive replications of a single ancestral unicellular organism or virus. 2. a recombinant clone. 3. the fragment of foreign DNA contained in each member of a recombinant clone. 4. a population of identical cells arising from the culture of a single cell of a certain type, such as a human fibroblast or a rodent-human hybrid cell containing a full set of rodent chromosomes and a single human chromosome. Human embryo cloning starts with a standard in vitro fertilization procedure. Sp ...

... specific use in treating a wide range of symptoms. can help ease a wide assortment of ailments; easing aches, pains, and injuries, while relieving the discomforts of many health problems. also acts on the central nervous system, relieving depression and anxiety, reducing stress, relaxing, uplifting, sedating or stimulating, restoring both physical and emotional well-being. Although is consider to be a new and alternative foram of medicine in the western world, however it has been practiced for thousands of years in the eastern world. A lot of interest in stems from its use as an 'alternative medicine' or even ...

... terrible forces where unleashed again. The technology involved in building the first atomic bombs has grown into the creation of nuclear weapons that are potentially 40 times more powerful than the original bombs used. However, a military change in strategy has came to promote nuclear disarmament and prevent the usage of nuclear weapons. The technology of building the atomic bomb has spurred some useful innovations that can be applied through the use of nuclear power. The fear of a potential nuclear attack had been heightened by the media and its release of movies impacting on public opinion and fear of nuclear ...

... all this information, how best to utilize it, and how to regulate it. This paper will look into those questions and what actually makes up this new virtual world that we are creating for ourselves called cyberspace. In the 1950’s and 60’s the fear of nuclear attack was constantly on the minds of the American people and the government. The government therefore developed a corporation called RAND that they put in charge of making a network that could be protected from nuclear attack and could guarantee that we could still fire our own nuclear missiles in our defense. Soon major schools and corporation ...

... names Joseph Priestly . French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier then renamed it to today's name, hydrogen. Hydrogen can be produced in many ways. Electrolysis is a common way hydrogen is produced. Electric current is passed through water which releases the lements it is made of. These elements are hydrogen and oxygen. Today's efficiency of this method is about 65 percent, however 80-85 percent are possible with more research. Another method of producing hydrogen is through chemical means. It is a scientific fact that every metal that is less noble than hydrogen will isplace hydrogen from water . Common mater ...

... that can be taken to control the onset of asthma attacks. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as steroids, steroid inhalers, and steroid tablets are used as perverters and controllers of asthma. These drugs reduce the inflamation in the airways and reduce the need for other drugs. Steroids though take a few hours to have an effect and therefore ineffective if needed for immediate relief. Other treatments include allergy shots and Antihistamines which can be used as a preventer of asthma. These reduce allergic reactions in patients and therefore reducing the chance for allergies to trigger inflammation in the asthmatic ...

... To Aristotleans the world was the center of the universe and that it was perfect. This showed us the holes in the celestial realm. It is not perfect like people believed it to be. If the moon had all of these imperfections, then any other member of the universe could also be this way. It also showed the Earth to be just a planet. Not the unique figure thought to be. It is not unique. In fact, it was regular because the moon also had the same properties. The second observation was the four moons of Jupiter. Galileo observed points of light that changed their positions with time around the Planet. These points he co ...

... and has excellent corrosion resistance. It’s ductile only when free of oxygen. This metal, which does burn in the air, is the only element that burns in nitrogen. is resistant to dilute sulfuric and hydrochloric acid, most of the organic acids, most chlorine gas, and chloride solutions. When natural, is reported to become very radioactive after being bombarded with neutrons. The emitted radiations are mostly positrons and gamma rays. The hexagonal alpha form changes to the cubic beta form very slowly at around 880 degrees Celsius. The metal combines with oxygen at red heat, and with chorine at 550 degrees Cels ...
