Matter is what everything around us is made up of and chemistry is concerned with how this matter - more specifically how atoms - can interact, transform and produce different substances depending on their structure. These different structures and arrangements atoms take ultimately create solids, liquids and gases. In solids, the atoms are close together and therefore vibrate in fixed positions. In liquids, atoms are further apart, however, they still are rather close and slide over each other. And

that for a given particle we only have a probability of where it will be. Now the behaviour of large numbers of particles is much easier because lots of these elusive particles acting together and in relation to each other (as in matter) become more predictable. Why? Imagine a box with a divider such that we can close the box into two identical halves at any time. Suppose the box is totally empty - a perfect vacuum. We then introduce

What are Unspoken Agreements? Unspoken Agreements are those thought arrangments that are formed between us and other people, circumstances or ideas, that generate a certain kind of advantage for us. These agreements may have the power to justify our feelings, thoughts or actions. As ration beings, it’s quite likely that we create these agreements to prove ourselves right, save ourselves of any guilt for feeling negative about other person or situation, or to even conceal our emotions. Our true nature

Michelle Fortner Mr. Huff Biology 9 (1) 26 August 2015 Chapter 2 Chemistry of Life Page 31 Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space. Mass: A measure of the amount of matter in an object; a fundamental property of an object that is not affected by the forces that act on the object, such as the gravitational force. Element: A substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means; all atoms of an element have the same atomic number. Atom: The smallest unit

Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the arrangement, structure, and change of matter. As a student interested in nursing, it is required to take the course of chemistry among many other pre requisite courses. When reviewing the course syllabus I thought to myself, “What is this stuff, and when am I going to ever use it in Nursing?” Also to all incoming non-science majors who are required to take chemistry, this course may be the last course you would even think about taking. Believe

I observed Mrs. Ruffs First grade class at Carlin Park Elementary. The class consisted of 11 girls and 11 boys. While I watched the class, I focused in on trying to notice the difference between the two sexes. I observed that the girls and the boys are similar in the way they carry themselves. They were both very active in the activity they were playing. The activity they played was a version of tag that there was one person it and they all needed to run away from the tagger and if they were tag

Unlike Parmenides and Heraclitus, who took a clear stance on whether being is changing or unchanging, Empedocles argued that things do change, but these objects are composed of materials that do not change. The change that we see is merely a cause of the interaction and changes in position of the four basic elements (earth, air, fire, and water). Much like Heraclitus and his views that orderly change is brought about by the “logos”, Empedocles also recognized that there was a force responsible for

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. During the late eighteenth century, scientists began to use qualitative tools to study and monitor chemical changes. By carefully measuring mass before and after many chemical reactions, it was observed that, although chemical changes occurred, the total mass involved in the reaction remained constant. Assuming this was true for all reactions, chemists transformed this observation into a scientific law; the law of conservation of matter, which

Although from time to time, we find ourselves not acting our age in social situations. For example, the way I behave myself with my friends totally differs from the way I behave with my parents. When I am with my parents I behave in a more formal matter on the other hand, when I hang out with my friends the level of maturity and formality drops enormously. When I am with my friends I feel that I don’t need to act my age because I am comfortable and let loose easier then if I am with my parents.

Many theorist believe that happiness is the only important in people's life, and all that should matter to a person is being happy. The standard of assessing a good life is how much or quantity of happiness it contains. This openness of happiness, its generosity of spirit and width of appreciation, gets warped and constricted by the claim pretending to be its greatest friend—that only happiness matters, nothing else. Robert Nozick does not on the side of hedonistic utilitarianism, he gives several
