Electronegativity/ Radiation

Electronegativity


     Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a boding pair of electrons. As you move an atom up the periodic table its electronegativity becomes stronger, it becomes stronger because it is getting higher. The atoms generally known for having the most electronegativity are the ones in the top right corner of the periodic table. And the ones that are known for having the lowest amount of electronegativity can be found in the bottom left of the periodic table.

* Midway through my research of electronegativity i realized that i couldn't really find much about this topic but i didn't want to delete the information that i did have. So instead of getting rid of what i had i decided to also write about radiation as a backup topic.

Radiation

Definition of radiation:
     Radiation is the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high energy particles which cause ionization. Radiation can also be known as energy traveling through space, this is because of the sun. Sunlight is is one of the most known forms of radiation known to scientist. The sun delivers heat, light, and can give someone a suntan is outside in the sun for an excessive amount of time.

Types of radiations:
     Radiation can be found there are many types of radiation sources but most common ones are alpha radiation, beta radiation, gamma rays, and neutrons. Alpha radiation is emitted by some substances undergoing radioactive decay. this type of radiation cant so called be found anywhere but it is known for being emitted form the nucleus of some "radionuclides" during a form of radioactive and that's where it get the name alpha decay from. Beta radiation is a radiation formed my beta which are particles which are electrons. Beta is a high energy, high speed electron that is emitted by radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus, which happens during the process of beta decay. A gamma ray is a kind of arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.Gamma rays are most commonly known to be produced by high temperature, and they generally come from solar flares which are cause by eruptions on the sins surface. They can also come from nova and super nova explosions which are explosions that cause stars to become hotter than usual. Neutrons are subatomic particles of about the same mass of protons but without an electric charge. Neutrons can be found in the nucleolus of an atom. They are known to be produced by copiously in nuclear fission and fusion.

Harms of radiation:
Radiation can be a very harmful substance. Exposure to high levels of radiation on the human body can cause major effects that can harm a person very severely. For example, if a person is close to an atomic blasts it can cause that person to have health effects such as major skin burns and acute radiation syndrome which is radiation sickness. Even though that is enough to ruin someones body internal and externally that's not all is can also result in long term health effects such a cancer and cardiovascular disease which a disease that causes diseased blood vessels, structural problems, and blood clots.

Next steps:
I think that as years go on radiation will become stronger and stronger. I think this because as we progress in time there is technology in factories that need a lot of power to function properly and these machines need to be made somehow. So, i believe that power plants will become our main source of produce of big machines and they will eventually become independent power plants which means that they will not need any humans to be present during the process of forming the machines that will later be used to create materials that humans need for everyday life.(But then again it's just a thought)

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Mahar-ullah Shahminah- Molecular Gastronomy

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
