Why must contact lenses be removed before you enter a chemistry laboratory?

Chemistry
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]4 years ago
6 0
The vapors of some chemicals used in the chemistry laboratory, especially isocyanates, can react and bond the contact lens to the eye.

(FYI - the family of isocyanates include Superglue..I wouldn't want to have been the person who discovered this unfortunate reaction!)

The movement of fluid materials caused by density differences
Dovator [93]
This movement is known as convection or convection currents. This occurs due to the fact that warmer fluid is of lower density than colder fluid. This causes warmer fluid to rise and colder fluid to sink. This creates circulatory currents within the body of the fluid.

Add electron dots and charges as necessary to show the reaction of calcium and oxygen to form an ionic compound.
xxMikexx [17]
The two atoms shown in the equation are CALCIUM and oxygen. 

<span>You start off with a neutral calcium atom with a shell of two electrons, a shell of 8 around that, a shell of 8 around that, and a shell containing 2...with no charge. </span>
<span>20 protons + 20 electrons. </span>

<span>You also have an oxygen atom with a shell of 2, and a shell of 6...with no charge. </span>
<span>8 protons + 8 electrons. </span>

<span>Each ionizes to form a calcium ion with 2 electrons removed (from the outer shell), leaving a +2 charge (20 protons, 18 electrons)... </span>
<span>and an oxygen ion with 2 electrons added (to the outer shell), leaving a -2 charge (8 protons, 10 electrons). </span>

<span>Their electrostatic attraction causes them to come together to form an ionic compound of CaO in a crystal lattice.</span>
