Where did the word "atom" come from?

Chemistry

bazaltina [42]2 years ago

The term "atom" comes from the Greek word for indivisible, because it was once thought that atoms were the smallest things in the universe and could not be divided. We now know that atoms are made up of three particles: protons, neutrons and electrons — which are composed of even smaller particles, such as quarks. An atom is the basic unit of an element. Less scientifically, the word atom can also mean a very small piece of anything at all. ... The Greek root of atom is atomos, which means "indivisible," since the scientists who first gave the atom its name imagined it couldn't be split or divided into smaller pieces. Democritus was a Greek philosopher who was the first person to use the term atom (atomos: meaning indivisible).

Changes in the composition of the atmosphere have caused gradual changes in earth's _______ throughout history, causing changes
bearhunter [10]

climate

Changes in the composition of the atmosphere have caused gradual changes in earth's <u>climate</u> throughout history, causing changes in plant and animal life that contributed to mass extinctions.

The following are some of the reasons:

  • UV light
  • climate
  • pollutants
  • hydrofluorocarbons

heat

  • The surface of the Earth warms up as sunlight strikes it.
  • Surface-emitted infrared light is absorbed in the atmosphere and transformed into heat.
  • The temperature close to the surface rises as a result of this heat being trapped in the atmosphere.
<h3>UV light:</h3>
  • indirect impacts of climate change on UV radiation from the surface.
  • By changing the concentrations of ozone, UV-absorbing tropospheric gases, aerosols, and clouds in the atmosphere, climate change may have indirectly affected UV radiation levels in the past.
  • These influences are probably going to persist in the future.
<h3>climate:</h3>
  • People are at risk from food and water shortages, greater flooding, high heat, an increase in disease, and economic loss due to climate change.
  • Conflict and human migration are potential outcomes.
  • Climate change is the top hazard to world health in the twenty-first century, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
<h3>pollutants:</h3>
  • these are also resulting in the increase of temperature of the Earth and is also damaging ozone layer.

Between 2014 and 2016, more than 25,000 children in Flint, Michigan, drank water that was contaminated with lead from lead pipes
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Regularly test the water in residents' homes.

Explanation:

The only way to know if tap water contains lead is to do tests to determine the levels of that metal in the water. Therefore, the state is under an obligation to constantly conduct such tests in the resident´s homes and thus determine whether the water supplied is fit for human consumption.  

The state after the tests must guarantee the population the treatment of the water to reduce the levels of lead. The main pipes that contain lead pipes must be changed, as well as those parts of the service connections made of lead.
