Explanation:

Whether you know it or not, compressed air is involved in every aspect of our lives, from the balloons at your birthday party to the air in the tires of our cars and bicycles. It was probably even used when making the phone, tablet or computer you’re viewing this on.

The main ingredient of compressed air is - you guessed it! - air. Air is a gas mixture, which means it consists of many different gases. Primarily these are nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%).

The temperature of the air is directly proportional to the mean kinetic energy of these molecules. This means that the air temperature will be high if the mean kinetic energy is large (and the air molecules move faster). The temperature will be low when the kinetic energy is small.

Compressing the air makes the molecules move more rapidly, which increases the temperature. This phenomenon is called “heat of compression”. Compressing air is literally to force it into a smaller space and as a result bringing the molecules closer to each other. The energy that gets released when doing this is equal to the energy required to force the air into the smaller space. In other words, it stores the energy for future use.

Tails of phospholipids that don't like water
densk [106]
Those tails are called hydrophobic. You can note the etymology: hydro= water, phobi = fear, aversion, dislike.

Phospholipds' tail is a long non polar chain, made of Carbon and Hydorgens, that rejects water (a polar solvent) and is attracted to non-polar compounds (oil for example).  That is why that tails can atract dirt.

natulia [17]

Henri becquerel and the curies found out that atoms were not indivisible and indestructible

Explanation:

The French Physicist, Henri Becquerel, created the appearance of radioactivity. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie (Marie's husband) in 1903 for their work in radiation. A radionuclide will emit transmission through the process of radioactive sense.
