Summary of “hunting the elements” Every minute and day our world in radical changes to see new things on the way of discoveries of to makes the life easy. It is true to focus on today science the way of the real-life more sophisticated by each element of the periodic table the open secret. We incredible material variety, as we know everything the stare, the planet, and life itself. According to the PBS NOVA I was watching the amazing documentary film that is written, produced and directed by Chris Schmidt, but presented by the host David Pogue. David say’s a lot of things on his almost two hours (1:53) film about the “Hunting the Elements.” With the main points or concepts like the elements, compounds, atoms, periodic table, noble gases, …show more content…
Nowadays this element more active or used for infrastructures, electronics goods, and other services, this element also we call it a Dr. Copper element because of high levels of sense of Ph.D. economic benefits. Copper has 20 protons and electrons with the symbol of Cu. In 21 century the market of this element goes up to 20 million tons a year buy and sell in the world trades scale in three big cities in the world such as New York, London, and Shanghai. Cu more necessary for wire, electronics, and computer chips; Copper also helps us to away bacteria …show more content…
Tin was the first man made element. Malaysia and South Africa are the main exporter to USA market. Electro microscopes, one of the best technology of our world that to know each small amount of atoms easily with 10.000 times of atoms images, Periodic table is one of the source of element of the 118 elements with their symbol and protons and electrons numbers. In the periodic table more than 70 elements are metallic. One of the hunting of the elements film secrets was made, you to get more understanding of correlation between the elements and life. To be sure, chemistry of life, rare earth elements, and radioactivity are the main components of the real life. Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Phosphorus (P), and Sulfur (S) area the six elements of life, CHNOPS are also the basic elements of all living things. Phosphorus is the first element isolated from living
In "Energy Story" uses an explanation of atoms and tells us the parts of an atom and its structure. In the text it
Miodownik describes in detail how natural elements were manipulated by man to create man-made materials at the same minuscule scale that take place naturally. Materials science has provided the knowledge required for
I hope I have educated you and answered some questions. I have written as much information as I could find on these life crucial elements. These elements are very important and crucial to our life.
The Periodic Table is guidance or map to access different elements specific information, such as: atomic mass, isotopic richness, nuclear spins, electronic configuration and the position of elements belong to which group and period in table. Over the past decades there were many Scientifics which help to improvement of Periodic table but few of them made the most influence and contribution on Periodic table such as : Johann Dobereiner ,John Newlands , Dmitri Mendeleev and Henry Moseley.
The Disappearing Spoon is a book of tales of madness, love and the history of the world from the periodic table of the elements. Although all the anecdotes that are present in this book are related to science and the periodic table, his anecdotes prove key roles that the elements played in people’s lives and this world. Thus, evoking greater understandings of elements in a more entertaining way. The Disappearing Spoon is written by an author named Sam Kean who studied physics and english in his college. He wrote several science novels and The Disappearing Spoon is the one that I read among his novels. To be exact, I only read the introduction, chapter one and chapter fourteen; stories of the artistic elements. Among other chapters of this book, chapter fourteen distinctively explains how the table of elements have impacted the lives, works, and inventions of famous
A massive explosion at the beginning of the universe created everything, including living things. Stardust had scattered everywhere forming together to create planet earth and all biotic things. Tiny particles began to join together to form hydrogen and helium after the Big Bang. Further after, young stars began forming as clouds of gas and dust settled together with gravity. This caused them to heat up as they became denser, this formed stars. At the cores of the stars, hydrogen and helium nuclei fused together creating heavier elements. Almost every element on Earth was formed by this way. The light emitting from stars is the energy released from nuclear fusion. Elements such as Carbon and Iron, formed
One of the least spoken about elements, cerium, is important and rather abundant for being considered a rare metal. It is more abundant than most metals in Earth’s crust. Cerium (Ce) has an atomic number of 58 and an average atomic mass of 140.116. To find it on the Periodic Table, either find atomic number 58 or use the electron configuration of [Xe]6s24f15d1. When searching across The Periodic Table, cerium is not a definitive eye catcher, however, seeing pure cerium ignite when scratched will spark interest in most people. Usually, cerium is in a solid metal form as an conductor. cerium was named after an asteroid called Ceres. All in all, cerium is a usually silvery, sometimes dark gray, malleable metal, in the Lanthanide series in period six that is very reactive but has many uses.
Copper is a transition metal with the symbol CU. Transition metals, including copper, are located in the central part of the periodic table in what’s known as the d-block. Elements in this zone are known to be hard, lustrous, and good conductors of electricity. Among these, copper is one of the best conductors of electricity. Copper’s
Copper, symbol Cu, a brownish-red metallic element is one of the most widely used metals. Copper was know to prehistoric people and was probably the first metal from which useful articles were made. Copper objects have been found among the remains of many ancient civilizations, including those of Egypt, Asia Minor, China, southeastern Europe, Cyprus ( from which the word copper is derived), and Crete. Because of its many desirable properties, such as its conductivity of electricity and heat, its resistance to corrosion, its malleability and ductility, and its beauty, copper has long been used in a wide variety of applications. The principle uses are electrical, because of copper's extremely high conductivity, which is second only to that of silver. It can be used in outdoor power lines and cables, as well as in house wiring, lamp cords, and electrical machinery such as generators, motors, controllers, signaling devices, electromagnets, and communications equipment. Pure copper is soft but can be hardened somewhat by being worked. Alloys of copper, which are far harder and stronger than the pure metal, have higher resistance and so cannot be used for electrical purposes.
The writings of some Greek philosophers may be considered to be among the very first chemical theories, such as the theory that all things are composed of air, earth, fire, and water. Each of these were represented by different elements, such as sulfur, salt, mercury, and, ideally, gold. Other ideas held by alchemists were that each of the known elements were represented by heavenly bodies. Gold was earth's representation of the sun, silver for the moon, mercury for the planet Mercury, copper for Venus, iron for Mars, tin for Jupiter, and lead for Saturn.
The Periodic Table is based around the Atomic Theory. Firstly people believed that everything was made up the four elements Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. This theory evolved into everything being made up of atoms. Breakthroughs throughout history such as the discoveries of the nucleus, protons, neutrons and electrons have pushed this theory forward to where it is today.
Greek thinkers and early people noted around 400BC, that things are different from each other, and can be broken down into smaller groups. They used the words “element” and “atom” to describe different and the smallest parts of matter. For over 2000 years, the four “elements” of Earth, fire, water, and air were used to explain many stories of the world. Something had to of been done to organize our thoughts and observations of our elements. A method was needed by 1860 to organize the sixty elements known by scientists. Many scientists helped contribute to the discoveries made for the Periodic Table, but Dmitri Mendeléev eventually constructed the first table. All of the elements that are a part of the Periodic Table are all based on the properties of matter. We are able to describe, classify, and quickly identify the elements by their properties. The table is also organized by their certain properties that repeat periodically when arranged by their atomic number. The table is arranged into groups and periods to display their common properties.
Everyone in my grade despised that class, it was hard, it was tedious… but I loved it! It opened my eyes, and allowed me to see the world from a different perspective. Everywhere you look, there it was, chemistry. The periodic table was the one that winked my eye at first. It is only a table to gather and organize information, yes! But for me, it is the work of multiple great minds, their legacy for the humanity. The periodic table is a graphic metaphor for perfection. Everything is in it’s right place, and it all has a function. All about the periodic table gives me hope in a way that nobody else can understand. It is a weird way to relate life and chemistry, but thanks to that peculiarity; it helped me make the grown up decision of my life,
First, a brief introduction of each of the individual elements. Oxygen is a familiar word for everyone – it is what most living things breathe on a daily basis. It is the first element in the group, and has the chemical symbol O and atomic number 8. It was officially discovered when Joseph Priestly saw that a candle burned brighter and a mouse lived longer while breathing what he called “dephlogisticated air”. Oxygen is one of the most common elements and is, inevitably, found all around the earth and in many things.
