H2o means water and co3 is co-signs
Answer:
Aluminium was named after alum, which is called 'alumen' in Latin. This name was given by Humphry Davy, an English chemist, who, in 1808, discovered that aluminium could be produced by electrolytic reduction from alumina (aluminium oxide), but did not manage to prove the theory in practice.
Explanation:
Answer:
<em>Protons:
</em>
- Positively charged particle
- The number of these is the atomic number
- All atoms of a given element have the same number of these
<em>Neutrons: </em>
- Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these
- The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons
Explanation:
Protons (<em>positively charged</em>), neutrons (<em>neutral</em>) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles. The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.
The <em>Atomic number</em> (Z) indicates the number of protons (
) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the <em>same atomic number</em>, thus the <em>same number of protons</em>.
The <em>mass number </em>(A) is the sum of the <em>number of protons</em> () <em>and neutrons</em> (N) that are present in the nucleus: <em>A= Z + N</em>
<em>Isotopes</em> are atoms of the <em>same element </em>which nucleus have the <em>same atomic number</em> (Z), and <em>different mass number (A)</em>, it means the <em>same number of protons</em> () and a <em>different number of neutrons</em> (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:
99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8
0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9
0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10

Explanation:
Landon glances across the dinner table and thinks to himself that his fathers curly hair looks just like his own. He wishes his hair were straight like his mothers because he thinks he looks better with straight hair. Landon works hard to keep it straighter by combing and using hair gel, but it usually curls right back up. He has his mothers nose, but not her hair, unlike his sister Emily, who is also the result of the combination of the DNA from both of his parents and has straight hair like their mothers. Most eukaryotic organisms, like Landon, are formed through the process of sexual reproduction. Landon realizes that he and Emily are evidence that sexual reproduction, the combination of their two parents, creates diverse offspring.
Landons dinner plate is filled with one of his favorite foods-mashed potatoes made from potatoes fresh from his grandmothers garden. He remembers helping her get ready to plant the potatoes in early spring. They cut each potato into several pieces and planted the pieces in a nice straight row in the garden. When these eukaryotic plants came up, he noticed that each plant looked like all the others. These identical offspring with uniform traits are the result of asexual reproduction. Landons grandmother grew potatoes by cutting the whole potato into smaller pieces, which is a type of asexual reproduction called vegetative propagation.
After dinner, Landon wanted to go watch television, but his mother insisted that he put the leftover food in the refrigerator. Perhaps she knew that the cool temperature inside the refrigerator would stop the growth of bacteria, which are prokaryotic and can reproduce asexually in as little as 20 minutes. This rapid asexual reproduction, called binary fission, would produce thousands and thousands of identical bacterial cells that could cause Landons tasty leftover food to spoil before the end of his favorite show.
Landon finishes up the dishes and puts away the leftovers. As he sets the last dinner glass back into the cupboard, he catches a glimpse of his curly hair in his reflection. He thinks to himself that his mothers nose and his fathers hair are actually a good combination that looks pretty good on him
