1). The essential of this technology is the usage of a unique type of bacteria, anode respiring bacteria (ARB), which can typically respire electrons from the organic compounds to the anode surface and simultaneously protons (H+) liberate into electrolyte, lead to a negative anode potential. ARB are known only to utilize a few numbers of simple organic electron donors, such as acetate and H2 (7–9). The biodegradation of complex organic substrates in the anode of MFCs, like those present in a domestic
that shares one pair of electrons. The atoms are maintained together since the pair of electrons is attracted to both atoms’ nuclei. In this covalent bond there are two types of covalent bonding. They are single covalent bond and double covalent bond. A single covalent bond is a covalent bond that involves the sharing of one pair of electrons between two atoms. On the other hand, a double covalent bond is a covalent bond that involves the sharing of two pairs of electrons. An example of atom involving
In the simplest model of the atom, electrons orbit a central nucleus, composed of protons and neutrons. each electron carries one negative charge and each proton one positive charge. Neutrons carry no charge. Every atom has the same number of electrons as there are protons, so, on the whole, it is electrically neutral. The electrons have discrete kinetic energy levels, which increase with the orbital radius. When atoms bond together to form a solid, the electron energy levels merge into bands. In
bond is covalently bonded, and also it is mostly a strong electronegative atom such as N, F, or O. The acceptor of hydrogen is the neighboring electronegative ion or molecule, and also it must possess a lone electron pair in order to form a hydrogen bond. Reasons for the occurance of Hydrogen Bonding As the hydrogen donor is electronegative in nature, it attracts the covalently bonded electron pair closer and closer to its nucleus, and hence away from the hydrogen atom. The hydrogen atom is therefore
coordination compound is balanced by counter ion. Coordinate covalent bond is the bond in which electron pair is donated by one bonded atom only. The atoms which donate and accept the pair of electron are called donor and acceptor respectively. Ligand can be anion or neutral molecules. This contains a pair of electron to donate to metal atom or ion. These are also called Lewis base. Metal atom accepts the pair of electron from ligand and this is also called Lewis acid. Coordination number: is the number of
explain that because of its small size, copper ions attract ligands, which are species that are rich in electrons and can form co-ordinate covalent bonds (can donate electrons) to form complex ions[28]. When the copper ion is joined to one or more ligands, a coordination complex is formed where the ligands act as electron donors, and the central atom of copper acts as an electron-pair acceptor. This complex has a structure called coordination sphere[2], with four ligands attached to the central atom
mainly metalic substances such as copper, aluminum, and gold. Conductors allow a charge to build up and move "freely" through the conductor. When dealing with circuits and the moving of electrons, free movement at the moment is the best movement. I will get to reasons to but a damper on the movement of electrons later. Now, if a conductor allows a charge to build up and move freely, then it should be easy to understand that an insulator is just the opposite, it might build up a charge but that charge
Chapter one Introduction 1.1 Supramolecular Chemistry Over the last decades, supramolecular chemistry has been a vigorous, fast-growing and fascinating area of current research in chemistry, physics, materials science and biological processes.refs It is a highly interdisciplinary field with wide-ranging collaborations between chemists, biologists, environmental scientists, engineers, physicists, theoreticians, mathematicians and other researchers. Furthermore, there is an essential aim for supramolecular
friendliness. In 1920 Bohr founded the University Institute of Theoretical Physics which he would run for the rest of his career. Bohr’s own theory led him to theorize in a series of articles that atoms give off electromagnetic radiation as a result of electrons jumping to different orbit levels. Bohr’s work on atomic structures led him to receive the Nobel Prize in
The Discovery Of The Electron The electron was discovered in 1895 by J.J. Thomson in the form of cathode rays, and was the first elementary particle to be identified. The electron is the lightest known particle which possesses an electric charge. Its rest mass is Me <approximately equal> 9.1 x 10 -28 g, about 1/1836 of the mass of the proton or neutron. The charge of the electron is -e = -4.8 x 10^-10 esu <elec trostatic unit)
about the makeup of matter, in different ways and with different conclusions. In this instance I will be looking at the discovery of the electron, how our understanding of it has changed over the years, and measure how it has contributed to where we are today. Joseph John Thomson (J. J. Thomson, 1856 - 1940) is widely recognized as the discoverer of the electron. Thomson was a Professor of Experimental Physics at Cambridge University, and Director of its Cavendish Laboratory, from 1884 until 1919
Chemistry has been around for a very long time. Chemistry dates back to as far as the prehistoric times. If you put the amount of time chemistry takes up in a timeline, you would split it into four general categories. The four categories are: prehistoric times - beginning of the Christian era (black magic), beginning of the Christian era - end of 17th century (alchemy), end of 17th century - mid 19th century (traditional chemistry), and mid 19th century - present (modern chemistry). It starts
“Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to an electric current being passed through the water.” As we know, water is a model of molecular compound, in which atoms are bounded with each other by sharing electrons. This type of bond is known as covalent bond. In order to divide the water solution into two constituents, Hydrogen H and oxygen O2, we use the method of water electrolysis. I predicted that we are going to separate water solution into hydrogen and
The process of change that transformed life on Earth is called evolution. A result of evolution would be an organism's adaptations to its environment such as adaptations to conserve water. The world is full of different organisms who came from a single celled ancestor. We study all of these living things and the scientific study of life and living things is called is called biology. Everything is organized into different levels in a hierarchy. The first level is the biosphere which is basically
and matter is made of atoms. Inside and atoms nucleus, there are protons. Protons have a positive charge in them. Electrons can be found right outside of the nucleus and they hold a negative charge. As atoms’ electrons break free of the original atom, they jump to another atom to another. This jumping causes a flow of electricity. There approximately 121 protons per inch and 121 electrons per inch. When measuring the different kinds of electromagnetic units, you should use ampere (electric current)
bulb cavity. Rotating turntables are also found in almost all microwaves and this helps them ensure that the food is all evenly heated. To achieve the best possible way to heat up your meals, the microwave does not use solid state devices. Instead, electron beams from tubes under the combined effect of the electric and magnetic fields that are made to curve and follow trajectories. Magnetrons are also mostly used in microwave ovens and it has changed everything. In 1921 it was first discovered and put
particle, the wave property of interference ceased. This was coined the observer effect. A French scientist Louis-Victor de Broglie defined light as both a particle and a wave. Even with recent experiments, such as Feynman’s controlled double-slit electron diffraction, there still remains much more to learn about the characteristics of light. From researching Young’s double slit experiments, one can learn about the complexities of light. The interference effect, for example, indicates wave-like motion
Providing the basis of nineteenth century physics, Young's Double Slit Experiment proved that light was made up of waves. During Thomas Young’s time, it was very difficult to describe the behavior of light. The predominant theory was that light was made up of particles. However, in his experiment, Young was able to observe the interaction of light waves when passed through two slits, showing the wave-like nature of light. This report will cover the reasons for Young’s experiment, the experiment itself
strange, top, and bottom. Quarks are also known to have no smaller particles within them and are used to form all hadrons. Quarks and leptons together make atoms and are both the most basic forms of matter. Quarks make the protons and neutrons while electrons are a type of lepton. Quarks all have a fraction of a positive charge while leptons either have a whole negative charge or no charge at all depending on the type of lepton. Quarks are important particles because of they make up most of the matter
Since the dawn of man, light has been a point of interest. For centuries man has studied light and its effects in the world, and for a long time we were oblivious to how it truly worked; but thanks to a young scientist, name Thomas Young, we learned how it worked in the early nineteenth century. Light, as it turned out to be, is a wave particle rippling through the universe. The purpose of this essay is to explain Young’s findings and the experiment he used to learn how light worked. During the centuries
