The Atom Short Story

For the lesson observed the objectives was to explain the trends of the periodic table based on the elements’ valence electrons and atomic numbers. Additionally, students were responsible for applying their previous knowledge in calculating subatomic particles to review the Bohr Models and discus the relationship among families in the periodic table. Students will use the information from today’s lesson to make future judgments on reactivity and bonding created during chemical reactions in the next unit. Lastly, students were to connect the information on elemental properties to previous experiences with their health, commercial products, and everyday life.

The Atomic Cafe is a 1982 documentary film compiled of clips from government propaganda, training films, news stories, advertisements and other media from the 1940’s through the 1950’s.  Many films were prepared by the U.S. government either for the military or for its citizens to view.  The form of Atomic Cafe was unique for documentaries.  It was produced entirely of different film sources edited together, without narration. The film made its points solely through the selection and order of the clips included in the documentary.  The purpose of the film was to show the American people of the 1980’s exactly how the government distributed propaganda and deceived the American citizens of the 1950’s.

In the book, “The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II”, Denise Kiernan emphasizes the effect that women had on world war II and what they did to help out. Two major cities are mentioned throughout the novel, Tennessee and New York City, home to many residents especially women who played a part in the major key of the story, the building of the atomic bomb. These two cities are huge factors in the novel because the project was established in Manhattan but then later on executed in Tennessee. Women from outside of the state where asked to come to Tennessee because that is where the chemical of uranium was being built for the atomic bombs. Citizens were brought in by being told about money and jobs to

Growing up in suburban Detroit, David Hahn was fascinated by science. He often conducted experiments in his basement and enjoyed making things such as homemade fireworks, brewing moonshine, and even making his own self-tanning lotion. Hahn especially loved chemistry and spent much of his time doing amateur chemistry experiments. The chemical reactions in these experiments sometimes went wrong and resulted in small explosions. We learned about chemical reactions in class this semester. He loved to read “The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments” that his father had given him and tried to collect samples of every element in the periodic table, including the radioactive ones. We learned in class about the elements in the periodic table and how they are identified.

In the world of Biology and Chemistry carbon is simply an element, an element of innumerable abundance. Out of what seems to be an infinite selection of carbon atoms going about their days, there is one special carbon atom in particular that has had a marvelous life so far. This is the story of a carbon atom only known as “C”, but to enhance the literary experience, we will call him Seymour.

One day Adam was redecorating the house. He lifted the carpet and there it was the door. He slowly opened the door. As soon as he stepped in he felt spider webs everywhere. Adam turned the light on. He saw the book of spells he freaked out. He quickly searched for a spell that would let him see his father. He didn’t really know him other than in pictures. After 1 hour 24 minutes 15 seconds and 1,005 pages he finally found the spell. Everything was knew to him, but he would do anything to see him.

Dan takes a seat next to the window while pulling out a laptop from his smooth, black leather bag. When he turned on the laptop nothing came up. His heart started to pound. Oh no! Did I take the Right laptop? What am I going to do? The laptop screen suddenly busted into a billion different colors that danced around the walls. Dan quickly sat back down when the screen revealed an old bearded imperious face in a dark room. “Dan Clovinter, agent 3627819. You have to deliver a very important top secret package. Inside this package there is a substance called chemical X.” the man spoke. “ Yes, chief I will do everything in my power to make sure that happens.” “... And don’t mix it with sugar, spice, and everything nice.” he giggled. Dan put on a clueless

The book “The Periodic Table” by Primo Levi is undoubtedly a masterpiece. It showcases the enthusiasm, the level of dedication, and passion successful chemists such as Primo Levi himself had for the field of their expertise. The way Primo Levi has related the troublesome times and events he had to face in prospect with the elements of the periodic table is laudable. Primo Levi is surely an inspiration and a perfect example of prodigy and passion. Despite the challenges and the hardships inflicted on him by the bigoted group of Germens, he still managed to emerge as an exceptional chemist and an author who made great contributions to the modern chemistry as we now know it.

Rutherford’s understanding of the atom was that the protons were clustered together in the nucleus. The nucleus is then surrounded by empty space occupied by electrons. (Lucas & Wright, 2001)

One of the most prolific eras in our world’s history is the Scientific Revolution. During this time men began to think outside the realm of possibility and delved themselves deep into the exciting unknown world of science. The innovative minds of these people churned out inventions like gunpowder and the printing press, as well as, inventive new ways of thinking like the scientific method. Aside from the inventors and innovators, there were also the publicists and writers without whom no one would know or understand the new ideas of the time. One such person was Margaret Cavendish who was born and raised in England. She received the same education that a lady during her time did. However, due to her husband, Sir Charles Cavendish, she was exposed to the world of science. The subject intrigued her so much that she ended up publishing her own theory on atoms. Though her atomic theory contains many scientific Renaissance ideals, it is still seen as a major contribution of thought during the Scientific Revolution.

“What’s going on?” I thought to myself as I pushed the curtain away from the window to allow the bright light from outside flow onto the pages of my chemistry book. As I let the curtain go, my cluttered room fell dark again but the sun seeped through a crack in the curtain just enough for me to be able to make out the outlines of my makeup bags lying in the floor, shoes and my school books. On the highest shelf, there was a small metal box with pure, elemental lithium in it. The top of the box, there was a running horse. I traced the horse with my finger, remembering my friend who gave it to me. I’ve never attempted to open the box, because apparently water makes lithium burn, even just the humidity in the air. I never got the nerve to open the box. I recalled my friend, Al the gebra. At first I thought he was a zebra but I realized the stripes her equations. I smiled as I remembered my strange friends I left behind in the even stranger world of Mathematics. I had no idea that when I followed that Imaginary Number through the portal that I would begin a great adventure. I would of never thought there would be an intelligent horse for each periodic element and isotopes, or that the Order of Operations were an actual solid thing.

The studies of chemistry and physics have shaped understanding of the world today. In fact, they have altered the mindset and reasoning of society, leading to an age in which discoveries are consistently being sought after and achieved. However, it must be noted that the origin for the basis of understanding used today in fields such as chemistry derived almost entirely from the scientists of the 1800’s. In this thorough and precise essay, the incubator for some of the world’s most innovative researchers and pioneers in chemistry and physics will be discussed – the Cavendish Laboratory.

When he opened the door excitement ran through his blood. The room was huge! He could easily fit everything he ever wanted. Their was a window in his room where he could see the beaches with surfers surfing the waves. When everything was all set up Jim rushed into his room and jumped into his queen size bed. Jim grabbed the remote and turned on his TV and his PS3 and settled into his comfy bed. One thing rolled in and out of his brain though. Tomorrow was his first day at San Ysidro High School and Jim wasn’t sure what to expect. Jim alarm rang at 7 o’clock and Jim excitedly jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. “Read for your first day of school kids?”, said said Jim’s mom. “Yes Mom”, said Jim, and Jessica in unison. “Well you better hurry up if you don’t want to be late for the first day of school!”, said Jim’s and Jessica’s mom. “Now kids if you make your beds, do some laundry, and do some laundry every once awhile. I will pay you guys five dollars each.” , said said their mother. “Sweet” , said Jim and Jessica. “That starts today!” , said Amanda. After Jim had gotten ready he ran down his driveway to catch the bus. When the bus arrived Jim held his breath as he walked up the steps

Particle shed his larval skin, finally tasting the ability to use the DNA of every being the Android Ship had encountered while making him, his coded abilities finally coming to fruition. He gave a sigh, and stretched his wings, his legs, his arms. His bug-like body, the combined effort of Icers, Saiyans, Namekians, and even some Humans giving him his inborn strength. He was assigned his mission, his code telling him exactly what he needed to do to reach perfection, 'Heaven', his purpose was to cull two of the Android population, and then exterminate all.

An Atom is the the basic building block of all matter. Atoms are made up of Particles, called: Protons, neutrons and Electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, the neutron carry 's a neutral charge and the electron carry’s a negative charge. The Atom has two main parts the Nucleus and the Electron Shell. The Nucleus contains the Protons and Neutrons. The electron Shell Contains the The electrons.
