Chemical proces


§Chemical:
§-Burning
§-Electrolisis
§-Neutralization
§- Corrison
§-Reduction
§-Ionization
§-Fermentation

§What is chemical: In its most basic form, a chemical is an element, in that it has a specific molecular composition and may be produced by or used during a natural chemical process.
§ An element is a chemical substance made of specific kinds of atoms that cannot be broken down any further; in short, elements are the purest forms of chemicals known to man.
§When multiple chemicals combine, a chemical compound is formed, which exists in order to combine different types of elements, and therefore, different reactions.
§What is chemical burning: Most chemical burns occur on the face, eyes, hands, arms, and legs. Usually a chemical burn will be relatively small and will require only outpatient treatment. Chemical burns can be deceiving, however. Some agents can cause deep tissue damage that is not readily apparent when people first look at it.
§Tissue damage from chemical burns depends on several factors.
§Chemical Electrolisis: how electrolysis can cause a chemical reaction to occur, suppose we pass a direct electrical current through 1 M HCl. The H3O+ ions in this solution will be attracted to the cathode, and the Cl ions will migrate toward the anode. At the cathode, H3O+ will be reduced to H2 gas according to the half-equation.
§2H+ + 2e → H2      (1a) 
§Chemical neutralization:  chemical reaction, according to the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases, in which a water solution of acid is mixed with a water solution of base to form a salt and water; this reaction is complete only if the resulting solution has neither acidic nor basic properties. Such a solution is called a neutral solution. Complete neutralization can take place when a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid, HCl, is mixed with a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide, NaOH. Strong acids and strong bases completely break up, or dissociate, into their constituent ions when they dissolve in water.

§Chemical Ionization: (EI) was introduced by Field and Munson (1966).  Their work stemmed from earlier observations that some molecules introduced into an EI source at high pressure would generate ions of the type [M+H]+ rather than the conventional M+ molecular ion.  This process, which became known as "self - CI" generated stable molecular species, so Field and Munson sought to deliberately generate this type of species from a wide range of molecular classes.

§§Chemical Fermentation: originally, the foaming that occurs during the manufacture of wine and beer, a process at least 10,000 years old. That the frothing results from the evolution of carbon dioxide gas was not recognized until the 17th century. Louis Pasteur in the 19th century used the term fermentation in a narrow sense to describe the changes brought about by yeasts and other microorganisms growing in the absence of air (anaerobically); he also recognized that ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide are not the only products of fermentation.

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES


§Physical and Chemical Properties
§All substances have properties that we can use to identify them. For example we can identify a person by their face, their voice, height, finger prints, DNA etc.. The more of these properties that we can identify, the better we know the person. In a similar way matter has properties - and there are many of them. There are two basic types of properties that we can associate with matter. These properties are called Physical properties and Chemical properties:
§
§Physical properties:  Properties that do not change the chemical nature of matter
§Chemical properties:  Properties that do change the chemical nature of matter
§Physical properties are those that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. The general properties of matter such as color, density, hardness, are examples of physical properties. Properties that describe how a substance changes into a completely different substance are called chemical properties. Flammability and corrosion/oxidation resistance are examples of chemical properties

§Examples of physical properties are: color, smell, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, infra-red spectrum, attraction (paramagnetic) or repulsion (diamagnetic) to magnets, opacity, viscosity and density. There are many more examples. Note that measuring each of these properties will not alter the basic nature of the substance.
§
§Examples of chemical properties are: heat of combustion, reactivity with water, PH, and electromotive force.
§
§The more properties we can identify for a substance, the better we know the nature of that substance. These properties can then help us model the substance and thus understand how this substance will behave under various conditions.
§The difference between a physical and chemical property is straightforward until the phase of the material is considered. When a material changes from a solid to a liquid to a vapor it seems like them become a difference substance. However, when a material melts, solidifies, vaporizes, condenses or sublimes, only the state of the substance changes. Consider ice, liquid water, and water vapor, they are all simply H2O. Phase is a physical property of matter and matter can exist in four phases – solid, liquid, gas and plasma.






PHYSICAL PROCES


§A sustained phenomenon or one marked by gradual changes through a series of states

§DESTILATION:Distillation is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. To separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force components, which have different boiling points, into the gas phase.
§
§EVAPORATION Evaporation is the process by which water is converted from its liquid form to its vapor form and thus transferred from land and water masses to the atmosphere. Evaporation from the oceans accounts for 80% of the water delivered as precipitation, with the balance occurring on land, inland waters and plant surfaces.

§FILTRATION:The act or process of filtering, especially the process of passing a liquid or gas, such as air, through a filter in order to remove solid particles.
§
§DECANTATION:Decantation is a very quick method for separating a mixture of a liquid and a heavier solid.

ATOM MODELS

Thomson:
§Thomson's atomic model is a theory of atomic structure proposed in 1904 by Joseph John Thomson, who discovered the electrón1 in 1897, long before the discovery of the proton and the neutron. In this model, the atom is composed of negatively charged electrons in an atom positive pasas.2 as pudding was thought that the electrons are distributed uniformly around the atom. At other times, instead of a cloud of negative charge was running with a cloud of positive charge.
Rutherford:

§In 1909 Ernest Rutherford conducted what is now a famous experiment where he bombarded gold foil with alpha particles (Helium nuclei). A source which undergoes alpha decay is placed in a lead box with a small hole in it.   Any of the alpha particles which hit the inside of the box are simply stopped by the box.  Only those which pass through the opening are allowed to escape, and they follow a straight line to the gold foil.  The animation below shows the experiment in action.
Bohr:

§Bohr used these observations to argue that the energy of a bound electron is "quantized."  Quantized is a fancy word meaning only certain quantities of energy are allowed.  This explanation addresses the true origin of light.   Since only certain energy levels are allowed it is actually possible to diagram the atom in terms of its energy levels.  In the animation below you will see a model of a Hydrogen atom and to the right of it, a Bohr energy level diagram.
Cloud:
§The cloud model represents a sort of history of where the electron has probably been and where it is likely to be going.  The red dot in the middle represents the nucleus while the red dot around the outside represents an instance of the electron.  Imagine, as the electron moves it leaves a trace of where it was.   This collection of traces quickly begins to resemble a cloud.  The probable locations of the electron predicted by Schrödinger's equation happen to coincide with the locations specified in Bohr's model.

Can the plants incline to the magnets and it can affect the growth of the plant?
Introduction….
In this Apa Template we are going to see if magnetism affect the plants growth,see more about what is the magnetism and how plants grow and change.


Theoretical Background:
Magnetisnm:
Magnetism is the force generated by any moving charged particle or charged particles. A magnetic field is the result of the motion of a charged particle or charged particles, and this field is generated in no other way. Any time a charged particle moves, it creates a magnetic field around its path of travel. There are no exceptions that we know of. Magnetism is a term that speaks to the phenomenon associated with a magnetic field and with its action on other things.
The creation of a magnetic field by a moving charge or moving charges is this fundamental concept that is behind the term electromagnetic force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe. Electricity and magnetism are tied together inextricably because of this





Does magnetism affect plants growth?
A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that a magnetic field can affect plant growth and health. The study divided plants into three groups. The first group of plant seeds grew in a low magnetic field. The second group grew in a high magnetic field. The third group grew in the absence of a magnetic field, serving as a control group. Several growth parameters were measured, including the germination rate, plant height, and leaf size. In addition, the health status was measured by leaf color, spots, the stem curvature, and the death rate. Plant growth was observed continuously for four weeks. The results showed that magnetism had a significant positive effect on plant growth. Plant seeds under the influence of the magnetic field had a higher germination rate, and these plants grew taller, larger, and healthier than those in the control group. No adverse effects of magnetism on plant growth were noticed. However, the removal of the magnetic field weakened the plant stem, suggesting the role of magnetism in supplying plants with energy.
How do plants grow and change?

Plants need some primary needs to grow and change: They are water and sunlight.
The plants start off as a seed and then slowly  develops into a seedling.During this moment the embryo help the seed to supply food.
Later the seed make the root grow. They need also carbon dioxide and oxygen to grow. After a long time,with good conditions for the plant,the stem and the leaves will appear.
