  How Nitrogen Is Making Chemicals Easy to Make

                         In Houston a University have just found a method for nitrogen to be used in compounds for drugs, pesticides, fertilizers, and other products.  This method is a great one as some researchers said that what they are making wasn't impossible it was that what they are doing now takes a lot less steps then it's original process.  Now what is Ketones,  Ketones are carbon based products that are important to the chemical industry. Ketones usually contains a amino group and one nitrogen atom,  but when a primary amino group is used it becomes an alpha-aminoketone.

                        Now Nitrogen is used in this chemical substance with a its catalyze reaction towards the substance, although they usually use oxygen. This is used for drug designs with the process of the reaction won't attack the organisms inside the body.  Now with the use of nitrogen the process only takes three steps.  This is so it isn't so long that near the end when your so many steps into the process you won't mess it up.

                       Chemists have also been adding more steps into the process to make new ones.  This is really good with it maybe not affecting water systems when used in fertilizer.


                       The next steps with this research or how it is great is the fact that this could help fertilizers not be so polluted and ruin local water ways instead it may make fertilizers safe for local water ways.  This field will go further with how many other labs making new copies and probably fixing some things to make it more efficient.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
