The four major units of study in Science 10 are Energy from the Sun Energy and Matter in Living Systems Energy and Matter in Chemical Change Change and Energy The following is a detailed description of the major concepts in each unit. Energy from the Sun A. Energy from the Sun sustains life on Earth. Energy from the Sun sustains life on Earth. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants (producers) put together carbon dioxide and water to store energy and form carbohydrates and oxygen. Aerobic respiration is the process by which organisms (consumers) release energy by reacting on carbohydrates and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis and aerobic respiration are the reverse of each other. All life on Earth exists in the biosphere, a relatively thin spherical shell having an approximate thickness of 15 kilometres. The biosphere exists within the three major spherical layers of Earththe atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the lithosphere. Energy flow through the biosphere is facilitated by different types of organisms.

Hydrogen bonds Introduction An understanding of some basic chemical principles is necessary to ensure an understanding of the chemistry of living systems i.e. BIOCHEMISTRY. All living and non-living compounds of the universe are composed of chemical elements. There are 118 different elements with 96 occurring naturally. Each element is designated by a chemical shorthand consisting of the first one or two letters of the English or Latin name for that element. For example: Oxygen : O Carbon : C Iron : Fe (Latin = ferrum) Atomic structure Bohr atomic theory states :- The basic unit of an element is an atom. An element is a quantity of matter all composed of the same atoms.

67. Molecule - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia According to the strict definition, molecules can consist of one atom (as in such as radicals, molecular ions, Rydberg molecules (see Rydberg atoms), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecule

Molecule From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A molecule is the smallest particle of a pure chemical substance that still retains its chemical composition and properties. The science of molecules is called molecular chemistry or molecular physics , depending on the particular aspect of focus. Molecular chemistry is concerned with the laws governing the interaction between molecules that results in the formation and breakage of chemical bonds , while molecular physics is concerned with the laws governing their structure and properties. In practice, however, this distinction is rather vague. According to the strict definition, molecules can consist of one atom (as in noble gases ) or more atoms bonded together. The concept of monatomic (single-atom) molecule is used almost exclusively in the kinetic theory of gases. In molecular sciences a molecule consists of a stable system ( bound state ) comprising two or more atoms . The term unstable molecule is used for very reactive species, i.e. short-lived assemblies ( resonances ) of electrons and nuclei , such as radicals , molecular ions Rydberg molecules (see Rydberg atoms transition states Van der Waals complexes , or systems of colliding atoms as in Bose-Einstein condensates . A peculiar use of the term molecular is as a synonym to covalent , which arises from the fact that, unlike covalent compounds, ionic compounds do not yield well-defined smallest particles that would be consistent with the definition above.

However, laser cooling has so far been limited to atoms with a particular internal structure, and the cooling of molecules or even of atoms with a complicated level scheme has so far not been possible. If we could learn how to cool, trap and manipulate larger molecules in the same way as atoms, this would open the door for important developments in chemistry and possibly even in biology.

Page loading ... Please wait. Intermolecular Interactions in the Gas Phase Gary L. Bertrand Department of Chemistry University of Missouri-Rolla Interactions between two or more molecules are called inter molecular interactions, while the interactions between the atoms within a molecule are called intra molecular interactions. Intermolecular interactions occur between all types of molecules or ions in all states of matter. They range from the strong, long-distance electrical attractions and repulsions between ions to the relatively weak dispersion forces which have not yet been completely explained. The various types of interactions are classified as (in order of decreasing strength of the interactions): ion - ion ion - dipole dipole - dipole ion - induced dipole ... dispersion forces Without these interactions, the condensed forms of matter (liquids and solids) would not exist except at extremely low temperatures. We will explore these various forces and interactions in the gas phase to understand why some materials vaporize at very low temperatures, and others persist as solids or liquids to extremely high temperatures. Ion - Ion Interactions The interactions between ions (ion - ion interactions) are the easiest to understand: like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract. These Coulombic forces operate over relatively long distances in the gas phase. The force depends on the product of the charges (

This is strange, really because we use these words from a very early stage in the study of Chemistry. When you want to refer to the particles in a substance, pause for a moment to check that you are using the correct word. Here, for example, is a multiple choice question: Which of the following is a correct description? A molecules of sodium chloride B atoms of magnesium fluoride C molecules of gaseous hydrogen D ions of glucose The answer, of course, is C! Sodium chloride and magnesium fluoride are both ionic.

Atoms, Molecules and Ions The major SUCK IT UP AND MEMORIZE part of this chapter deals with the names of the elements. You *must* know the names of the elements on the periodic table. Naming compounds will get very difficult if you don't know that B is Boron or Cl is Chlorine. Protons, Electrons and Neutrons (Oh My!) There are two simple rules for figuring out the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in any given atom. 1) protons = electrons = atomic number 2) neutrons = (atomic weight) - (atomic number) When looking at the periodic table you will see something like this: Generally when seeing an atom in text it will look something like this. Br The 35 on the bottom left represents its atomic number. A number on the top left would refer to atomic weight. ( SUCK IT UP AND MEMORIZE!

The center, or nucleus, of the atom is composed of positively charge protons and neutral neutrons. The outside of the atom has negatively charged electrons in various orbits. This is shown schematically in the picture to the right where the electrons are shown orbiting the center, or nucleus, of the atom in much the same way that the planets orbit the sun in our solar system. All atoms have the same number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). Therefore all atoms have a neutral charge (the positive and negative charges cancel each other). Most atoms have approximately the same number of neutrons as they do protons or electrons, although this is not necessary, and the number of neutrons does not affect the identity of the element. The number of protons (atomic number) in an atom determines which kind of atom we have, and the atomic mass (weight) of the atom is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus (the electrons are so small as to be almost weightless).

Editorial Staff quick search Search Physics World Physics World December 2000 Quantum mechanics with single atoms and photons Feature: December 2000 Some 100 years after the birth of quantum mechanics, physicists are still learning more about the interactions between light and matter. One of the driving forces behind the development of quantum mechanics at the start of the last century was the need to understand why atoms only emit light at certain wavelengths. Shortly afterwards quantum mechanics was applied to molecules and then to solids. Moving in the other direction, it was also applied to predict the properties of fundamental particles, notably the electron. Quantum mechanics has been remarkably successful in all these realms. Indeed, quantum electrodynamics - the theory of how light and matter interact - is the most powerful and accurate theory in all of physics. But even more remarkable is the fact that quantum theory still continues to fascinate researchers. It might be thought that 100 years after it was developed, there would be little that we did not know about quantum mechanics. Nothing could be further from the truth. Interest in quantum mechanics - both theoretical and experimental - is probably greater now that it ever has been. In this article we will concentrate on just one aspect of the ongoing love affair between physicists and quantum mechanics - experiments in which single atoms are trapped inside a small box or cavity containing, on average, just one photon. Atomic physicists are now able to observe the motion of a single atom in real time with high spatial and temporal resolution, to reconstruct its trajectory and to explore hitherto unknown light forces. The realization of such "single-photon optical tweezers" is opening up new possibilities in the control of the internal and external quantum states of atoms, the cooling of molecules and quantum information processing.

ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY - GEOL 406/506 Glossary of useful Terms: Abiotic : not living. Absorption : the penetration of atoms, ions, or molecules into the bulk mass of substrate. Acclimation : time elapsed before onset of detectable biodegradation of a contaminant. Acid : compound with tendency to donate protons (hydrogen ions, H+). Acidic : high concentration (activity) of free protons. Activity : effective concentration. Normally effective concentration is lower than actual concentration due to dynamic interactions occurring in the environment. Adsorption : the retention of atoms, ions, or molecules on the surface of another substance. Advection : the process of transfer of fluids through a geologic formation in response to a pressure gradient. Aeration : the process of bringing air into contact with a liquid. Aerobic : with oxygen. Aliphatic : of or pertaining to a broad category of carbon compounds distinguished by a straight, or branched, open chain arrangement of the constituent carbon atoms. The carbon-carbon bonds may be either saturated (all available sites are involved in bonds) or unsaturated. Alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes are aliphatic hydrocarbons. Anaerobic : without oxygen.
