Synthetic chemistry is a study were we can make man made chemical compounds as there are several types of it they include polymers which divides into several topics such as polyester Polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene which all have different properties and aspects that can be taken advantage of in many applications. This topic I was given will help me explore the impact of synthetic molecules on developing technologies and daily life as well as the implications of synthetic molecules including their advantages and disadvantages.

The nature of plastic has paused a challenge in the industry of PVC manufacturing as when it is exposed to high temperature or ultraviolet rays, the heat can distort the plastic. As a results scientists needed to implement and use new scientific innovation to solve this problem thus came up with the idea of incorporating additives to the compound to give it the ability to resist or prevent the effect of heat and rays on the tensile strength of PVC. Therefore the solution of using heat stabilizers within the PVC compound was a successful one in terms that it gave it the property of resisting heat to keep its stiffness and durability.

(Click Slide). Molecular compounds are everywhere in our every day lives! Sugar cane, for example, is a molecular renewable compound. Although we do not think about it, all of our consumer products that we buy and use are made of molecular compounds that come from various natural resources. Natural resources can be categorized into 2 divisions: renewable resources and non-renewable resources.

While PVC will last for years, it is not quite as durable as aluminium is for skylights. Aluminium with outlast PVC since PVC can start to degrade when it reaches a certain age.
We found that Polypropylene was our 5th unknown. Polypropylene (C3H6) or more commonly referred to as PP, is used for labeling, packaging, textiles, and stationery. In 1957, the crystallization of polymer was discovered. Soon fabric was made from the polymer, and was in high demand. It can also be used for moldings of cars, film, tape, foam and carpet. Polypropylene can not be glued to any objects or itself, and so it is melded. After Polyethylene, Polypropylene is the highest produced synthetic plastic. Polypropylene also holds up well over time, which is one of the reasons that it is the second most produced plastic. The melting point is between 130-171 degrees celsius. Because polypropylene is tough and flexible it can be used as an engineering plastic. Finally, polypropylene can be used be manufactured into a living hinge. A
Chemical decomposition, analysis or breakdown is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds. Chemical decomposition is usually regarded and defined as the exact opposite of chemical synthesis. A single-displacement reaction, also known as a single-replacement reaction, is a type of chemical

John Bowers, a professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Institute for Energy Efficiency at UCSB, spoke to the Santa Barbara Independent about his month long journey along the Ride the Divide trail. The Ride the Divide Trail is a grueling mountain bike ride that travels through Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, and through the United States of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. These are areas of the country rich with California wildlife such as mountain lions, bears, and wild horses, and in places as empty and ominous as Great Basin Desert (105 degrees F) and the Grand Tetons. Bowers completed a total of 2,753 miles in less than 30 days, riding from Banff, Canada
Instead of breaking down molecules, Synthesis puts them together. Synthesis is know for giving an enormous amount of light and heat. A popular example of Synthesis is 2H2(g)+O2(g) -> 2H20(i). This example is of water going to fusion and forming hydrogen gas and oxygen gas.
Humans have always exploited their natural environment for all their needs including food, clothing and shelter. As the cultural development of humans continued, they looked for a greater variety of materials to cater for their needs. The 20th century saw an explosion in both the use of traditional materials and in the research and development of a wider range of materials to satisfy technological requirements. Developments added to this was a reduction in availability of the traditional resources to supply the increasing world population. Chemists and chemical engineer continue to play a pivotal role in the search for new sources of traditional materials such as those from the
Chemistry is the study of the composition, behaviour and properties of matter, and of the elements of the Earth and its atmosphere.
Sarah Miles may have had the façade of a loyal, loving wife, but at night her promiscuous nature was revealed. She became addicted to the covertness of affairs and longed to be embraced as her husband never did. Her desire to have a physical relationship backfired when it turned emotional as well. Sarah’s licentious behavior complicated not only her own life, but also the lives of those around her. In Graham Greene's The End of the Affair, Sarah Miles is greatly affected by her struggle to confront her private passions and assume the role of a loyal wife.

At first, the erratic, ambiguous, and disorientating narrative style of ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ seems to lack consistent symbolism, and can be understood as a convention of the gothic genre. Macabre texts often employ unreliable narrators to convey readers down circuitous paths littered with false steps and red herrings, in order to postpone, and perhaps even prevent, arrival at singular interpretations of stories. In ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’, the narrator suddenly and ambiguously reveals facts about the house and its inhabitants, and couches his observations in ornate and turgid language. These features seem superfluous, but force readers to collude in the mysterious, entertaining and infinite game of engineered interpretation that the gothic genre revels in. Nevertheless, a second reading of the text reveals uncanny similarities between the narrator and Roderick– both men ultimately share a belief in “the sentience of all vegetable things” (185), possess the power to distort the distinction between art and reality, and suffer from “a morbid acuteness of the senses” (181). This suggests that the malady plaguing the surviving branches of the Usher family has infected the narrator. Therefore, the perplexing, and oftentimes infuriating narrative style of ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ reflects both authorial manipulation essential to create a suspenseful gothic tale, and also unconscious manipulation by the mentally disturbed narrator (itself a gothic
In real life, organic chemistry is the cause for such products as rubber, vitamins, and paper, while synthetic products such as nylon can be attributed to inorganic chemistry. Analytical chemistry stretches across many fields, such as oil and petroleum, food and agriculture, forensics, and manufacturing. Meanwhile, physical chemistry is a bit narrower, but it is still involved in various fields such as pharmaceuticals and materials. Biochemistry in real life usually takes the form of research into the complexity of a being’s inner workings, and can pay off in such was as medicines or cures for diseases.
Chemistry has been called the science of what things are. Its intent is the exploration of the nature of the materials that fabricate our physical environment, why they hold the different properties that depict them, how their atomic structure may be fathomed, and how they may be manipulated and changed.
