The three main categories of chemical compounds are acids, bases and salts. These compounds are always part of our daily lives in terms of what we eat and use. The human body contains some very common acids like dilute hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which aids in digestion of food. If the contents of our stomach become too acidic, it results to a burning sensation in the stomach. Acids and bases also regulate metabolic activities in the human body through equilibrium processes. Acids contain hydrogen ions (H+). A base is a substance, which on dissolving in water yields hydroxyl ions (OH-) as the only negative ions. Salts are formed by the combination of an acid and base.

To know a range of metals that have specific uses. Metals are found in the Earth, sometimes as elements and sometimes in an ore.
What is a metal ore?
This is the concentration of metals or minerals (solid elements or compounds) which occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust.
A mineral which contains a reasonably high percentage of a metal for economic extraction is called a metal ore.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

What are acids?
Fruits like apples, oranges and pineapples taste sour because they
contain acids.
Acids also turn blue litmus paper red.
Acids produce hydrogen ions H+
in water.
4. An acid is a substance which produces hydrogen ions, H+
(aq) in water.
Definition of An Acid
For example, hydrochloric acid dissolves in
water to form hydrogen ions and chloride ions:
HCl(aq) H+
(aq) + Cl-

It is the hydrogen ions which turn blue litmus

Bases
A base is an oxide or hydroxide of a metal.
Examples of bases are:
sodium oxide, sodium hydroxide, copper(II)
oxide, copper(II) hydroxide, etc.
A base reacts with an acid to form a salt and
water only.
E.g. CuO + H2SO4 CuSO4 + H2O
This process is called neutralisation.

If a base is soluble in water, it is called an alkali.
Alkalis
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali because it dissolves in
water to produce hydroxide ions:
NaOH(aq) Na+
(aq) + OH−
(aq)
An alkali is a soluble base which
produces hydroxide ions, OH−
(aq)
in water.

Types of Oxides
Elements burn or react with oxygen to form oxides.
There are 4 types of oxides: acidic oxides, basic oxides, amphoteric
oxides and neutral oxides.
An acidic oxide is an oxide of a non-metal. It dissolves in water to form an
acid. Acidic oxides react with alkalis to form salts .
A basic oxide is an oxide of a metal. If soluble, it will dissolve in water to
form an alkali. Basic oxides react with acids to form salts.
An amphoteric oxide is an oxide which can react with both acids and
alkalis to form salts.
A neutral oxide does not react with either acids or alkalis.

Step 3: Rewrite the equation with the final ions left:
H+
(aq) + OH-
(aq) H2O(l)
EXAMPLE 1
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
Step 1: Break substances with (aq) into its ions:
H+
(aq) + Cl-
(aq) + Na+
(aq) + OH-
(aq) Na+
(aq) + Cl-
(aq) + H2O (l)
Step 2: Remove similar ions from both sides of equation.

EXAMPLE 2
2HCl(aq)+ CaCO3 (s) CaCl2 (aq)+ H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
Step 1: Break those with (aq) into its ions:
2H+
(aq) + 2Cl-
(aq)+ CaCO3 (s) Ca2+
(aq) + 2Cl-
(aq)+ H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
Step 2: Remove similar ions on both sides.
Step 3: Rewrite the equation with the ions left:
2H+
(aq) + CaCO3(s) Ca2+
(aq)+ H2O(l) + CO2(g)

EXAMPLE 3
Pb(NO3)2(aq)+ 2NaCl(aq) PbCl2 (s)+ 2NaNO3 (aq)
Step 1: Break those with (aq) into its ions:
Pb2+
(aq) + 2NO3
-
(aq) + 2Na+
(aq) + 2Cl-
(aq) PbCl2(s) + 2Na+
(aq) + 2NO3
-
(aq)
Step 2: Remove similar ions on both sides.
Step 3: Rewrite the equation with the ions left:
Pb2+
(aq) + 2Cl-
(aq) PbCl2(s)
