Atoms‚ Molecules and Elements Atoms‚ molecules and elements are the building blocks of everything we can see‚ hear‚ and touch. Though not visible to the naked eye‚ it is the combination of millions of these tiny substances that make us who and what we are today. Many elements make up the world around us‚ and each element reacts differently to its surroundings. The definition of reactivity as pertained to chemistry states‚ “The relative capacity of an atom‚ molecule‚ or radical to undergo a chemical

Sir J.J.THOMSOM is to physics what electron is to an atom. He charged the world of physics with his discoveries and gave momentum to atomic physics. Physics is what today because of this British scientist who is regarded as the greatest experimental physicists of this century. A bookseller’s son‚ Thomsom studied at the Owens College and later at the Manchester University. He wanted to become an engineer‚ but his father’s death in 1872 forced him to study Mathematics‚ Physics and Chemistry as he

SINGLE ELECTRON TRANSISTOR SEMINAR ABSTRACT A single-electron transistor consists of a small conducting island connected to the source and drain leads by tunnel junctions and connected to one or more gates. The nanometre scale conductive island is embedded in an insulating material. Gate signals are capacitive coupled to the island. Two gate signals can be applied to the island out of which one is optional. Here‚ only one electron can tunnel from source to drain. The processes

1.) What does this story tells us? What happens in the story? How does it relates us? The Pirates of Silicon Valley is a film about Steve Jobs‚ the co-founder of Apple Computers and Bill Gates‚ the co-founder of Microsoft. This film historically traces the development of these two computer companies from the time these two gentlemen are college (the early to mid 1970’s) to approximately 3 months before Steve Jobs was fired by John Sculley‚ then CEO of Apple Computer in 1985.

Ch.9.1 – Types of Electric Charge * Static electricity : static cling of clothes out of dryer; lightning; * Walk across carpet and touch get a shock touching metal doorknob – friction of shoes against carpet cause you acquire static electric charge * Static charge – electric charge at rest‚ stays on and eventually discharged or lost to other objects/air * Discharge – remove excess static charge so the object is neutral * Static charge last long when air is dry * Electrostatics

the century‚ the region of Northern California we call Silicon Valley‚ was known as the Valley of Heart’s Delight. At that time it was better known for its apricots and walnuts than for its cutting-edge technology. The first time the term Silicon Valley was used‚ was in 1971 when a journalist wrote a couple of articles in Electronic News‚ a weekly electronic industry tabloid‚ about the semiconductor-industry around Palo Alto‚ California. Silicon Valley has since then transformed into a region filled

EQ: What role does electrons play in the formation of chemical bonds? Valence electrons are the electrons that are on the outermost shell of the atom’s electrons which are can be either given away‚ added‚ or to be shared. When these electrons are given away‚ added to or shared‚ there is a chemical change occurring and the compound that is formed is changed from the original elements. This is called bonding which is pretty much the realm of the electrons. It is the sharing of electrons from
