one was called Xenon, meaning “ The Alien One”, or “The Stranger.” Each of the new elements were unique by examining their spectrum. Then in 1910, Ramsay discovered Niton, or Radon in the radioactive emissions of radium, which was the last of the noble gases.      Since the gases that Ramsay discovered, had remarkable inertness, or completely unreactive, led to their use for special purposes.

Two weeks has past since the incident with Meigui and Jia but, the whole palace is still talking about it. At first everyone in the palace was really curious as to who was the person that Meigui tried to harm, but couldn’t figure out who it is. They all believed that it has to be the mysterious girl that the crown prince carried into his room but, no one has been able to find out the identity of that person. However, the mystre did not remain a mystery for long because of some loose mouth servants

Chapter One February 23, 1843, 10 years before the events of An Immigrant American, Volume 1 of the Kopp Chronicles. Suddenly, the door of the carriage flung open, as it pulled up to the doors of the Mannheim Palace on an early and cold February morning in 1843. “Karolina, I am so glad you are here!” A young woman with brown disheveled hair said frantically as she burst into tears. “I thought you would never get here. I don’t know what to do with my hair, and my mother needs help with the wedding

In The Republic of Plato, Plato, in addition to sharing his views on justice, shares his views on democracy using a fictionalized Socrates to outline the most pressing issues. Plato’s views on democracy are negative; he believes democracy to be bred from a response to inequality of wealth and to heighten all of humanities worst traits. Plato believes democracy leads to unequipped leaders who hold offices and power without the necessary traits and preparation. The main issue Plato has with democracy

Though we’ve discussed many kinds of governments, ideal cities and even ideal rulers over the course of the semester, from Aristotle’s Politics to the city described in the Melian dialogue, there is one that undoubtedly left a greater on me than the other- the city described in Plato’s Republic. From Plato’s remarkably feminist ideals and vague sense of barebones socialism, there’s a lot in this city that I hypothetically would throw my support behind. This is not to say that I think that this is

Next day in the afternoon, Minister Yu’s resident: “Minister Yu, I would like to congratulate you. You truly are amazing! I would never have expected that that stubborn emperor would ever willing go into Meig…--hah-- I mean concubine JingYi’s room. You are truly amazing. No wonder the old Emperor choose you as his personal consultant.” General Ping joyfully says to Minister Yu as he pours him a cup of wine. Minister Yu smiles at him and strokes his bread and says, “--hoho--...General Ping, you’re

them to become a noble gas and period down the periodic table the easier it is to get rid of the extra electron, causing the alkali metals to become more reactive the further down the periods. To become a noble gas a halogen must gain an electron, the farther away the outer shell is from the nucleus, the more energy that is required for an electron to enter the shell. Halogens need one more electron to become a noble gas, while alkali metals need to donate an electron to become a noble gas. (Johnsonburg

Precious metals do not have their own group on the periodic table. They are arranged together on the table. These elements do have the same chemical properties, however they do not have their own classification. All of these metals do not rust, they are resistant to oxidation and corrosion and they only break down when they are in high temperatures. Gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), and osmium (Os) all have similar properties and are
