Inorganic Chemistry Experiment 3: Tin (IV) Iodide Aim: The primary objective of this procedure is to investigate the various properties of tin(IV) iodide. Introduction: Tin is a very important element as it is classified as a group 14 element. Examples of elements in this group include carbon, silicon and lead. It can be found in two different oxidation states, +2 and +4, almost identical to the element directly below it, which is lead (Pb). In terms of its properties, it is very similar to silicon
express what, I think, is the essence of teaching and learning. As a student, I have observed that the best teachers were those who cared the most about teaching. It is noteworthy to mention that, I loved the way of my organic chemistry teacher taught conformational chemistry by using models. Therefore, a teacher has to create a way to teach the fundamental concepts and facts of the subject. Nevertheless, the amount of time that a teacher puts into preparation directly translates to how the students

For those pursing an undergraduate degree as a prospective Chemistry student, we would like to tell you a few things about the Chemistry Department at MTSU as we offer
in Chemistry Chirality is a term which may be applied to any asymmetric object or molecule. It is the property of non-identity of an object with its mirror image. A chiral compound is one which is not superimposable on its mirror image. This property of molecules has a great importance in the chemistry feild as it provides us with an understanding of the shapes of molecules which then in turn, gives us an insight on the way they react in a particular reaction. Chirality in chemistry is
education requirement to become a chemist is a college degree such as B.S in chemistry or a B.A degree in chemistry, you can major in chemistry or a related discipline, such as physical science, life science or engineering. Required courses
Qualitative Analysis: There are two general form of analysis; Quantitative analysis and Qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis determines the quantity of a substance as Qualitative analysis identifies its quality. It can be considered as a branch of chemistry. One which is limited to identification of a singular or group of elements, ions, or compounds in a sample. It is, nearly, always applied when in need of performing an experiment, test, etc…since it is usually the qualitative analysis which is performed
materials such as but not limited to: Metals and alloys, semiconductors, superconductors, polymers, ceramics, crystal, amorphous and cluster-like states. Condensed Matter Physics is interdisciplinary and intertwined with inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, electrical and mechanical. It tries to connect the properties of the nuclei and electrons to the macroscopically observed quantities. As in other fields of study, advancement in condensed matter resulted from impro...
coiled in the minds of John Dalton in the atomic theory, Rosalind Franklin with genetics, and most importantly Antoine Lavoisier the father of modern chemistry. All who, worked extensively to acquire the understanding that fascinated them most, chemistry. Another chemist who sought after the same knowledge was Stanislao Cannizzaro. Studying organic chemistry Cannizzaro explained how certain elements lacked the hydrogen atom in what is know n as the Cannizzaro Reaction. Being the youngest of ten children
Chemistry has lots of charming facts; one such is hetero cyclic compounds. Heterocyclic compounds are organic compounds that contain a ring structure containing atoms in addition to carbon, such as sulfur, oxygen or nitrogen as the heteroatom. The ring may be aromatic or non-aromatic. Every first step of life starts with hetero-cyclic compounds. Every man's potential to think, intelligence, behavior, character depends on his gene. The basic skeleton of the genetic material (DNA) is made up of heterocyclic
Alchemy is an ancient early form of science that combined magic, psychology and science. It gave way to many new discoveries and was the base of chemistry but, later generations considered it mumbo-jumbo, an activity of scam artist and the occult. ----------Alchemy gave way to new discoveries, concepts, ideas, and the creation of a few things. Alchemy discovered 5 new elements! There was the creation of trans uranium elements, elements with atomic numbers greater than the atomic number
world and an insatiable drive to know “why”; why something happened, why it worked, why it was important. After entering the chemistry program at the University of Louisville I was faced with challenging classes that peaked my interests and offered a challenge that no other class seemed to have. I found that I have a passion for organic chemistry. I can understand inorganic and enjoy biochemistry but it was my second semester
decisive turns as we make our way through the figments of our imagination towards and over the threshold of reality. It was one such turn and a milestone that was the driving force behind my decision to choose Chemistry as my graduate major and research area. As an applicant for PhD Chemistry program at your esteemed university, I would like to provide an overview of my personal interests and ambitions in pursuing the doctorate study in your University. EDUCATION: I grew up in a science-friendly
Chemical engineering is one of the oldest and core fields of engineering. You might be wondering what exactly chemical engineering is all about. “Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences, physics, chemistry, life sciences, microbiology and biochemistry, together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy. “Chemical engineers work to improve the quality of people 's lives. Most items
distillation or crystallization and addition pure water yields the metal oxide with high purity and the volatile by-product. A great advantage of this method of oxide preparation is in its absence of ionic impurities [20]. Despite being widely applied, the chemistry of the sol-gel synthesis utilizing metal alkoxide precursors is hardly understood.
Things are very different from each other, and can be broken down into small groups inside itself, which was then noticed early by people, and Greek thinkers, about 400BC. Which just happened to use words like "element', and `atom' to describe the many different parts and even the smallest parts of matter. These ideas were around for over 2000 years while ideas such as `Elements' of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water to explain `world stuff' came and went. Much later, Boyle, an experimenter like Galileo
The History of Chemistry Chemistry is the science of the composition and structure of materials and of the changes that materials undergo. It is also used in improving standards of living, making it possible for such substances as rubber, nylon, and plastics to be made from completely different materials. New materials and new properties of old materials are always being discovered. Some earlier products discovered from chemical reactions are ceramics, glass, and metals. Dyes and medicines
Asimov On Chemistry by Isaac Asimov The Book Asimov on Chemistry by Isaac Asimov is a collection of seventeen essays that he wrote for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. This book is one of ten that were published by Doubleday & Company, Inc. Not all of the books centered on chemistry and like science. Most just covered anything Isaac Asimov wondered about. These Essays date back quite aways with a range from January 1959 to April 1966. INORGANIC CHEMISTRY The Weighting Game This i
Chemistry is “the science that deals with the composition and properties of substances and various elementary forms of matter”. There are five branches of chemistry. There is organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and biochemistry. We are affected by chemistry everyday. Whether it is the air we breathe or what is in soil, chemistry is everywhere. You can get various careers that involve the use of chemistry. You can be a forensic chemist, a geochemist,

category to the Periodic Table of Elements. The four noble gases he discovered were Argon, Xenon, Neon, and Krypton. Ramsay furthered the discoveries of Helium and Radon, as well. In his later life, he was given many awards, such as the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, the Davy Medal, and was knighted. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1904. His later awards were awarded to him shortly after. He was a very smart man who accomplished an assortment of scientific discoveries and achievements in his lifetime. Even
