<span>In 1669 German merchant and amateur alchemist Hennig Brand attempted to created a Philosopher’s Stone; an object that supposedly could turn metals into pure gold. He heated residues from boiled urine, and a liquid dropped out and burst into flames. This was the first discovery of phosphorus.

In 1680 Robert Boyle also discovered phosphorus, and it became public.

In 1809 at least 47 elements were discovered, and scientists began to see patterns in the characteristics.

In 1863 English chemist John Newlands divided the then discovered 56 elements into 11 groups, based on characteristics.

In 1869 Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. He predicted the discovery of other elements, and left spaces open in his periodic table for them.

In 1886 French physicist Antoine Bequerel first discovered radioactivity. Thomson student from New Zealand Ernest Rutherford named three types of radiation; alpha, beta and gamma rays. Marie and Pierre Curie started working on the radiation of uranium and thorium, and subsequently discovered radium and polonium. They discovered that beta particles were negatively charged.

In 1894 Sir William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh discovered the noble gases, which were added to the periodic table as group 0.In 1897 English physicist J. J. Thomson first discovered electrons; small negatively charged particles in an atom. John Townsend and Robert Millikan determined their exact charge and mass.

In 1900 Bequerel discovered that electrons and beta particles as identified by the Curies are the same thing.

In 1903 Rutherford announced that radioactivity is caused by the breakdown of atoms.

In 1911 Rutherford and German physicist Hans Geiger discovered that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom.

In 1913 Bohr discovered that electrons move around a nucleus in discrete energy called orbitals. Radiation is emitted during movement from one orbital to another.

In 1914 Rutherford first identified protons in the atomic nucleus. He also transmutated a nitrogen atom into an oxygen atom for the first time. English physicist Henry Moseley provided atomic numbers, based on the number of electrons in an atom, rather than based on atomic mass.

In 1932 James Chadwick first discovered neutrons, and isotopes were identified. This was the complete basis for the periodic table. In that same year Englishman Cockroft and the Irishman Walton first split an atom by bombarding lithium in a particle accelerator, changing it to two helium nuclei.

In 1945 Glenn Seaborg identified lanthanides and actinides (atomic number >92), which are usually placed below the periodic table.</span>

7. Explain how magnetic potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy. (1<br> point)
Arisa [49]
The potential energy by the magnetic field can turn into kinetic energy once the field is moving from the S pole to the N pole when it reaches the N pole it is potential energy when it exits the S pole it is kinetic energy.

Martha ran 420 m, and Cole ran 60 m less than Martha. The distance Kate ran is right in the middle of Martha and Cole's distance
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

390 m

Explanation:

Martha ran 420 m

Cole ran 60 m less than Martha = 420 m - 60 m = 360 m

The distance Kate ran is right in the middle of Martha and Cole's distances

Kate distance = (420 + 360) / 2 = 780 / 2 = 390 m

If the theoretical yield of RX is 56.0 g , what is it’s percent yield ?b
Angelina_Jolie [31]
<span>the theoretical yield which is the expected yield and the actual yield obtained are not always the same. therefore percent yield is calculated which shows how much of the percentage of the theoretical yield is actually obtained.
the theoretical yield = 56.0 g 
actual yield = 47.0 g 
percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100 %
percent yield = 47.0 / 56.0 x 100% = 83.9 %
percent yield = 83.9 %</span>

What is scientific literacy?<br><br> Why is it important?
miskamm [114]

Answer:Scientific literacy is the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity. It also includes specific types of abilities.Science literacy is important because it provides a context for addressing societal problems, and because a science- literate populace can better cope with many of its prob- lems and make intelligent and informed decisions that will affect the quality of their lives and those of their children.
