Vibrational Bonding

The main point of lecture was to continue discussing about the light spectra and atoms. Specifically, we used the equations and calculated a photon of light’s energy at a certain wavelength. Also, we discussed the light spectrum and how particular wavelengths of light are absorbed by matter.

George Michael Bancroft was a very notable man, especially in the field of Chemistry. He was born on April 3, 1942 in his hometown Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.Later in his life, he attended the University of Western Ontario, University of Manitoba, and finally Cambridge University, England where he earned his PhD. In his academic career, he has supervised 34 doctoral theses, two master theses, and 31 postdoctoral theses. In addition, he has also published 350 papers, one book, and several long review articles. In addition to the success he had with with his academics in University, George also won many national and international awards for his basic and applied work. Among these were two highly notable awards in which he was the recipient of. These

Summers writes in an informal tone and the article, even though he refers to a scientific data,

In characterizing scientific research, Barry chooses specific diction that has strong connotations so as to create the greatest effect by contrasting them. His juxtaposition of the words “certainty” and “uncertainty” serve a twofold purpose in the context of this piece. The first is to emphasize the fearfulness and timidity associated with uncertainty. Secondly, it serves to exhibit

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.

The text is formatted as a journal article and has been peer reviewed. It was published on August 31, 2015, in Europhyiscs Letters, a journal founded in 1986 by the European Physical Society. The article references multiple sources that are also academically reliable.

“After having made a few preparatory experiments, he concluded with a panegyric upon modern chemistry, the terms of which I shall never forget: ‘The ancient teachers of this science,’ said he, ‘promised impossibilities and performed nothing. The modern masters promise very little; they know that metals cannot be transmuted and that the elixir of life is a chimera but these philosophers, whose hands seem

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.

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.

While researching the greatest chemists that have ever lived, I could not help but notice one who was missing from the list. Boyle, Mendeleev, and Lavoisier were on everyone’s list; and rightfully so, but I believe that people overlook the outstanding work of Henry Louis Le Chatelier. Le Chatelier studied chemistry extensively in school and made great discoveries as a teacher of the science at colleges in France. He is most known for the principle named after him: Le Chatelier’s Principle, which I will go into detail with later in the paper. My goal in this paper is to bring to light the significance of Le Chatelier’s life and his work in the field of chemistry and science.

To discuss different types of chemical bonding in different substances (precursor to the next lesson topic)

Ionic and Covalent Bonding Ionic and covalent bonding is involved when the atoms of an element chemically combine to make their outer shells full and to make the atoms stable. The first type of bonding you can get is ionic bonding. Electrons are transferred from one atom to another to try and create full outer shells, this gain and loss of electrons on the atoms results in positive and negative ions. In these compounds you get electrostatic force, this is the force/attraction that occurs between the positive and negative ions that hold the compound together.

In 1876 van’t Hoff was the Veterinary Professor at the Veterinary College at Utrecht University. After one year of being a Veterinary professor at the University of Amsterdam, he was appointed lecturer in theoretical and physical chemistry. He was the University of Amsterdam their Professor of Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Geology. While at the University of Amsterdam he conducted the studies of reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, chemical affinity, and osmotic pressures that helped found the discipline of physical chemistry. He held this position

At almost the same point in time, Kekule in Germany, and Couper of Scotland suggested that atoms in molecules are fused together by bonds. Their theory was that every atom is distinguished by having the same number of bond availability or valence number, where ever that particular atom appears in any compound. The main notability of organic compounds is having strong carbon to carbon bonds. This was recognized in the theory, and was used to help understand large molecules, possessing many bonded carbon atoms. Carbon is the cement that holds their molecules together. So far, this theory has gone through rigorous testing, and has not been proven inadequate to this day, as of now it is a law.
