Unfortunately, due to limited knowledge of chemistry at their time, there dreams could not be accomplished. ... Antoine Lavoisier, know, as the "father of modern chemistry" brought about a change in chemistry that went from studying qualitative properties of things to quantitative properties. This allowed for patterns to be seen and math to be used as a tool to help understand the complexities of chemistry. Huge strides have been made in the field from the make up an atom to abstract topics in theoretical quantum chemistry. ... Seaborgs commitment to the advancement of chemistry has ...

What is the significance of the derivation of the term atom? That matter appears to be continuous but is actually discontinuous. This means that the continuations of division of a matter would eventually reach a limit to this dividing, a particle that could not be further subdivided. The Greek ph...

Boron reacts with halogens to give the corresponding trihalides. Boron trichloride is, however, produced industrially by direct chlorination of boron oxide and carbon at 500 °C. B2O3 + 3C + 3Cl2 → 2BCl3 + 3CO The carbothermic reaction is analogous to the Kroll process for the conversion of titan...

Life on earth would not exist without the many bonds observed throughout Biochemistry. There is two types of force the intramolecular force which exist between the atoms in a molecule such as Covalent, Ionic and Metallic bonding, the second force being intermolecular force that exist between neighbo...

We were able to ignore the terms on the right side of the equation because we know mass is conserved within the reaction. Also the conservation of atoms tells us that the ratio of moles of copper chloride to aluminum is constant. So given the amount of copper chloride that reacted, we could find the amount of aluminum that reacted. If all the aluminum dissolved and the liquid was still blue, we would know that aluminum was the limiting reagent. We would also be able to calculate the mass of the original aluminum wire if we were able to measure the mass of the leftover copper. ...
