Extra credit

Most guys are jealous, or worried that their lady is going to cheat on them, but they can't do anything to stop the girl from cheating. In the spider world, after a female and male mate, the male puts a plug on the female, to stop the female from mating with another spider, but sometimes the female assists the male.  There is a strange specie of spiders called  Leucauge argyra. The females from this species of spiders, know how to make their own plug.  This plug doesn't stop them from matting with other spiders, this is a trap for the male. When the male and female mating, the plug that the female already had in is a trap, and it traps the male. And the female kills the male, or keep the male so they can use them whenever they want

What has been the most valuable learning from summer Chemistry and why?

I decided to take away 6 weeks of my summer to take Chemistry. It has been very hard especially because all of my friends are out every night why I am sitting at home study. The good part about taking this course is that I learned a lot out of this class. First I learned and studied periodic table. Before this course i thought the periodic table was just a bunch of number and letters but I didn't understand what any. But now I understand each element, with its atomic number, and its atomic mass. I also really liked doing the unit conversion, because i understand the math. I also learned a lot about water, and water pollution, and that we have to conserve our water.

B.3 UNIT 4 1-4

1.Why is human exposure to ultraviolet radiation potentially more harmful than exposure to inferred radiation?
Infrared causes only certain atoms to vibrate, and not even that much. But UV radiation causes all atoms to vibrate which causes sunburns, and may even cause skin cancer at long exposers
2.Describe two essential roles played by visible solar radiation
One role that visible solar radiation plays is that it provides energy need for photosynthesis. And it also energizes electrons in some chemical bonds.
3.Explain why dry arid region in the United States, such as New Mexico and Arizona, experience wider air- temperature fluctuation from night to day than do states with more humid conditions such a Florida
In dry air regains the suns solar energy is absorbed, and where there are more humid places the solar energy gets absorbed in the clouds. In dry climates very few water molecules trap the radiation, unlike in florida where there are many water molecules, which trap the radiation, making 
4.Suppose Earth had a less dense atmosphere (fewer fas molecules) than it does now
a.How would average daytime temperatures be affected? Why? It would be warmer because there is no layer of CO2 or gaseous H2Oto absorb the light, making more of the light be able to go through
b. How would average nighttime temperature be afftted? why? It would be lower because there are no molecules holding onto the radiation

14. describe how atmospheric CO2 and water vapor help maintain moderate temperatures at Earth's surface?
The CO2 absorbs most of the heat, making allowing less of the heat to reach earth surface.

15. List two natural processes and two human activities that can increase the amount of
a. CO2 in the atmosphere
Any using up fossil, driving a car
b. Ch4 in the atmosphere
The cows burping, their gas contains methane

16.What changes in the composition of the atmosphere would cause the average surface temperature of the Earth to
a. Increase? CO2 and HO gases
b. Decrease? Less CO2 and H2O gases
17. Explain why, on a sunny winter day, a greenhouse with transparent glass walls is much warmer than a structure with opaque wooden walls.
The greenhouse, when the sunlight goes in throughout the glass it gets locked in there, there is no way of escaping.

18. Look at drawing
19. List three chemical reservoir of carbon atoms.

2.Why is the world spectrum a good descriptor of the types of energy found in electromagnetic radiation
Because it shows the different lengths of the waves.
3. Why is visible light useful in plant photosynthesis, while other forms of electromagnetic radiation is not?
Because visible light can energize electrons in some chemical bonds, and UV-C is not useful because it can kill the blant
4. List the main types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing energy
Infrared Radiation
Visible Radiation
UV-A
UV-B
UV-C
b.Describe how each type of radiation listen in your answer affects living
Infrared Radiation: Is Electromagnetic radiation with frequencies slightly lower than that of red light. Cause certain bonded atoms to vibrate more energetically
Visible Radiation:Can energize electrons in some chemical bonds
UV-A: Has the longest wavelengths, and thus has the lowest energy
UV-B:Has more enter, it can cause sunburn; and, with long-term exposure, it is linked to skin cacao
UV-C: The most energetic form of ultraviolet radiation, is useful for sterilizing materials because it can kill bacteria and destroy viruses, has enough energy to break covalent bonds
5. Ultraviolet light is often used to sterilize chemistry laboratory proactive goggles. Why is ultraviolet light effective for this use. while visible light in not.
Because ultraviolet light can kill bacteria.

6. Compare infrared, visible and ultraviolet radiation in terms of how well they are absorbed by the atmosphere
Infrared radiation from the sun cannot reach Earth's surface because it is absorbed by CO2 and gaseous H2O.
Visible radiation, on a clear day more than 90% of the visible region of solar radiation directed toward Earth travels down to Earth's surface
Ultraviolet radiation, Most UV-B radiation and UV-A radiation does not reach the Earth's surface because it is absurd by the stratospheric ozone layer.
7. Describe two main effects of the solar radiation that reaches Earth surface
Visible radiation, which provides the energy needed for photosynthesis reaction
and ultraviolet, which causes sunburns, and longterm causes skin cancer

8. a. compare lake water and asphalt in terms of how readily each warms up when exposed to sunlight
The lake water would be more warm because it absorbs 70% of the solar radiation, and the solar radiation reflects of the asphalt only 30% of solar radiation is reflected.
b.What properties of these two materials account for difference in their behavior
The asphalt doesn't ever actually absorb the heat, it only reflect it, unlike the water, which actually absorbs it.

On your marks....

On your marks….
This article is about a cell "race." A cell race is when cells actually race each other, like a horse race. Biologist from around the world are sending one type of cell to one of the six testing sites, and the cells will race each other. Unlike a  horse race where the horse has to be a thoroughbred, these cells can be genetically modified. Many of the biologist have been looking at cancer cells, because they know that those types of cells spread faster. These could be the little steps in figuring out how cancer spreads.

Metal Project: Copper







Copper Production:
1. All copper is found in ores which are in the lithosphere.
First step is Mining and crushing
-When mining you have to mine sulfide and oxide ores though with either digger of blasting and then crushing it to walnut-sized pieces.

2. Second is Grinding
Then the crushed ore is rod-milled in large, rotating, cylindrical machines until it becomes a powder, and that power usually contains less than 1% copper. The Sulfide ores are taken to a concentrating stage, while the oxide ores are routine to leaching tanks.


3. Third Concentration
When minerals are concentrated they are concentrated into a slurry that is about 15% copper. Then the waste is removed, and the water is recoiled. The left over tailings containing copper oxide are taken to leaching tanks or are returned to the surrounding terrain. Once copper has been concentrated it can be turned into pure copper cathode in two different ways: One way is Leaching and electrowinning or smelting and electrolytic refining

4a. Leaching
Oxide ore and tailing are leached by a weak acid solution, production a weak copper sulfate solution.

4b. Smelting
Several stages of meting and purifying the copper content result, successively in matte, blister and finally, 99% pure copper. Recycled copper begins its journey to finding another use by being resulted.

5a. Electrowinning (SX/EW)
The copper-laded solution is treated and taken to an electrolytic process tank. When electrically charge, pure copper ions migrate directly from the solution to starter cathodes made from pure copper foil. Precious metals can be extracted form the solution

5b. Anodes cast from the nearly pure copper and immersed in an acid bath. Pure copper ions migrate electrolytically format he anodes to "starter sheets" made from silver and platinum may be recovered from the used bath.

6. Pure Copper Cathodes
Cathodes of 99.9% purity may be shipped as melting stoke as mills of foundries. Cathodes may also be cast into wire rod, billets, cake or ingots, generally as pure copper or alloyed with other metals

7. Cathode is converted into:
Wire Rod
Billet
Ingot
Cake

http://www.copper.org/education/production.html

Consumption Of Copper:

History Of Copper:
Copper is an element found in its natural state.  Unlike other elements copper isn't very reactive which means copper could be found in its original state in nature. Copper's atomic number is 29 and its atomic weight is 63.546.  Coppers most common use is in pennies.  Copper has been used in pennies for many years. The first copper penny appeared in 1792. From 1792 till 1982 all pennies were completely made out of copper, but in 1982 copper was in high demand, and became a little more expensive, so they sort of replaced a lot of the copper in pennies. Copper in pennies were not completely replaced; instead of having the whole penny made out of copper, the copper on the inside of the penny was made with zinc, but coated with copper, so there was still an abundant supply of copper left and all the copper wasn't used up on the coins.

Physical Properties of Copper:
-Atomic number: 29. 
-Number of protons: 29 Number of electrons: 29 Number of neutrons:35. 
-Copper is a lot like the two other elements, gold and silver.  Like gold and silver copper is not very reactive, it could be found in its natural state.  
-Copper is very malleable, which means it can be bent and shaped without cracking, or breaking, when it is either hot of cold. 
-On the hardness scale, 1 being the softest and10 being the hardest, copper around 2.5-3. Making copper very soft.
-When copper combines with other elements, it has a charge of either +1 which is called "cuprous" or +2 which is called "cupric"
- Copper is a very good electric conductor.
-The melting point of copper is 1083.4 degrees Centigrade.
-Liquid copper boils at 2567 degrees Centigrade

Sun extra credit

Extra Credit
The sun goes through cycles ever 11 years. Dark spots start appearing on the suns surface. When there are no sunspots that means that there are no solar flares. And when there are no sunspots then it disturbs radio and satellite communications.  Also it disturbs the climate.  The last cycle was supposed to be in 2008, but it did not appear, and that means there is no new cycle.  Which is a good thing for operators of communication satellites, because the sunspots haven't interrupted their communications

14. Give the names and symbols of two elements other than lithium in the alkai metal family
Sodium: Na
Potassium:K

15. Consider the noble gas family:
a. Where are noble gases located on the periodic table? On the right side of the table
b. Name one physical property that noble gases share. they are all gases
c.Name one chemical property that noble gases share. Unreactive or chemically inert.

16. Given a periodic table and the formulas BeCl2 and AIN, predict the formula for a compound containing
A. Mg2
b GaP

17.The melting points of sodium(Na) and rubidium are 98 degrees C and 39 degrees C, respectively. Estimate the melting point of potassium
63.65 °C 

18. Would you expect the boiling p oint of chlorine to be higher or lower than that of iodine?
Chlorine would have a higher boiling point because Iodine is right next to the nobel gases and those have the lowest boiling points

Look at graph

20.  Illistrat the number of protons, neutrons and electronic an atom of 
a. beryllium b. nitrogen c. neon

21. A student is asked to explain the formation of a lead (II) ion from an electrically neutral lead atom. The student says that a lead atom must have gained two protons to make the ion. How would you correct this student's mistaken explanation?
You have to loose 2 ELECTRONS not protons.

22.Calculate the mass number for each element in the table
Carbon: 6
Calcium: 21
platinum: 117
Uranium: 146
B. Carbon is an isotope 

23. A scientist announces the discovery of a new element. The only characteristic given in the report is the element's mass number of 266. Is this information sufficient, by itself, to justify the claim of the discovery of a new element? 
No because we need to know more than just how much an element weighs

24. The mass of an electron is way lighter than a mass of a proton or a neutron

25.
12 proton 12 electrons
