Energy bands consisting of a large number of closely spaced energy levels exist in crystalline materials. The bands can be thought of as the collection of the individual energy levels of electrons surrounding each atom. The wavefunctions of the individual electrons, however, overlap with those of electrons confined to neighboring atoms. The Pauli exclusion principle does not allow the electron energy levels to be the same so that one obtains a set of closely spaced energy levels, forming an energy band. The energy band model is crucial to any detailed treatment of semiconductor devices. It provides the framework needed to understand the concept of an energy bandgap and that of conduction in an almost filled band as described by the empty states.

I Hope You all like it very much. I wish it is beneficial for all of you and you can get enough knowledge from it. Clear and appropriate objectives, in terms of what the audience ought to feel, think, and do as a result of seeing the presentation. Objectives are realistic – and may be intermediate parts of a wider plan.
The attractive force which holds various constituents (atom, ions, etc.) together and stabilizes them by the overall loss of energy is known as chemical bonding. Therefore, it can be understood that chemical compounds are reliant on the strength of the chemical bonds between its constituents; The stronger the bonding between the constituents, the more stable the resulting compound would be.
This power point slides presents how the electrons and protons were discovered together with the personalities involved with this scientific breakthrough.
Classic, mini chemistry experiments- some require materials typically found in a high school chemistry lab, while others are extremely simple. Very straightforward!

Water Testing Lab Background Information Chemists can .docxcelenarouzie
Water Testing Lab
Background Information:
Chemists can detect and identify ions in water solution in several different ways. In this lab you will use
some chemical tests to check for the presence of certain ions in aqueous solution. Positively charged
ions are called cations; negatively charged ions are called anions. The tests you will perform are
confirming tests. If the test is positive, it confirms that the ion in question is present. In each confirming
test you will look for a change in solution color, or the appearance of an insoluble material called a
precipitate. A negative test (no color change or precipitate) doesn’t necessarily mean the ion in
question is not present. The ion may simply be present in such a small amount that the color or
precipitate cannot be seen.
Purpose:
§ To use chemical tests to determine the presence of ions in three different water samples.
Objectives:
§ To test for the presence of cations iron (III) Fe3+, calcium Ca2+, copper Cu+, as well as the
anions chloride Cl-, phosphate PO43-, and sulfate SO42-.
§ To perform each of the following confirming tests on three different samples:
1. A reference solution (known to contain the ion of interest)
2. Tap water (which may or may not contain the ion)
3. A control (distilled water, known not to contain the ion)
§ Test for water hardness using ion-testing strips.
§ Complete a confirmative ion-testing using a complete ion-testing strip.
Materials:
§ 10 test tubes
§ Test tube rack
§ 10 mL graduated cylinder
§ Test reagent solutions in dropper bottles
o Potassium thiocyanate (KSCN)
o Potassium oxalate (K2C2O4)
o Acetic acid (HC2H3O2)
o Silver nitrate (AgNO3)
o Barium Chloride (BaCl2)
§ Reference ion solutions
o Iron (III) Nitrate - Fe(NO3)3
o Calcium Chloride – CaCl2
o Iron (II) Sulfate – FeSO4
Procedures: PART ONE
1. Safety goggles should be worn at ALL times during this lab exercise. If you spill any of the
reagents on your hands, wash them immediately.
2. Clean five test tubes with water and dry all glassware before starting the experiment.
3. In this lab, you are testing water samples for the presence of four different ions: Ca2+, Fe3+, Cl-,
and SO42-. For EACH of the test procedures you will test a reference solution (known to contain
the ion), a control (distilled water-known not to contain the ion), and your water samples
brought from home. Follow the diagram below and be sure to keep track of your water
samples:
4. Measure 1 pipette full (about 2 mL) of reference solution, control, and the three water samples
into five clean test tubes. Label the three test tubes Reference (R), Control (C), and Water
Sample #1, 2, & 3.
5. Follow the table below to test for each ion:
6. As you perform each test, record your observations in the data table below.
7. When you have completed an ion test, wash your test tubes with water and dry them
thoroughly before moving on to the next ion test.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

1. Electrolysis of Water
Introduction:
The decomposition of a compound into simpler substances by means of an electric current is called
electrolysis. During the electrolysis of water, electricity is passed through water, which then separates into its
elemental components of oxygen and hydrogen.
Since pure water does not conduct electricity well enough to allow electrolysis to occur a reasonable rate, a
catalyst is needed to speed up the reaction. In this experiment, sodium carbonate in solution will be used to
increase the rate of the reaction. The sodium carbonate ionizes in water, much like NaCl, making the solution
an electrolyte.
Pre-Lab Questions:
1. What are the molecular formulas for Water, Hydrogen, and Oxygen?
2. Looking at the above formulas, how much Hydrogen gas would you expect to be formed from the
electrolysis of water?
3. Looking at the above formulas, how much Oxygen gas would you expect to be formed from the
electrolysis of water?
Procedure:
□ 1. Fill a 250 mL beaker with the provided solution until the height (approximately 200 mL) is above the
ends of the electrodes.
□ 2. Connect your test tubes together with tape. Mark one Test Tube “+” and the other “-“
□ 3. Fill both test tubes with the solution of sodium carbonate and cover them with paper, as demonstrated
by Mrs. Graham
□ 4. Turn them over into the beaker so that the papered end is below the level of the liquid.
□ 5. Remove the paper allowing the test tubes. IF THERE ARE AIR BUBBLES THEN YOU MUST TRY
AGAIN!!!
□ 6. Place your battery in the solution
□ 7. Place the test tubes over the electrode of the battery, making sure to have the “+” test tube over the +
side of the battery and the “-“ test tube over the “-“ side of the battery. Lean the edges of the test tubes
against the side of the beaker.
□ 8. Observe the apparatus and answer some of the lab questions until one of the tubes completely fills
with gas.
□ 9. Remove the test tubes from the battery – BE CAREFUL TO LEAVE THEM UPSIDE DOWN IN
THE SOLUTION!
□ 10. Remove your battery and dry it with a paper towel
□ 11. Testing the gas: Working with your partner, test the smaller quantity of gas with a glowing wood
splint or toothpick. KEEP THE TEST TUBE POINTED DOWNWARD. Lift it up above the water,
and insert the glowing wood splint. Caution: Point the opening of the test tube away from yourself,
your partner, and everyone else when conducting this test.
2. □ 12. Test the larger quantity of gas by placing a flaming toothpick to the opening immediately after lifting
from the water. Reason: If you do not do this immediately, the gas will escape and no reaction will be
visible. Caution: Point the opening of the test tube away from yourself, your partner, and everyone
else when conducting this test.
Questions: - Answer the questions on a separate sheet of paper
1. Compare the volumes of gases obtained from the two sides of the battery. From your answers to the
pre-lab questions, can you figure out which side corresponds to which gas? .
How much of the test tube is
Electrode Identity of the gas
filled? ½, ¾, completely full
Positive
Negative
2. Which gas forms at the positive lead?
Why do you think that this gas forms at the positive contact? (You will have to read ahead
and / or go online to answer)
3. Which gas forms at the negative lead?
Why do you think that this gas forms at the positive contact? (You will have to read ahead
and / or go online to answer)
4. Make a comment about the volumes of gas formed and the formula of water. How would these
observations lead a scientist, like James Dalton, to conclude that compounds are formed of set ratios of
atoms of different elements?
5. (Challenge Question) From your observations, write the balanced equation for the electrolysis of water.
To do this, write the formula for water followed by an arrow and then the formulas for hydrogen and
oxygen. Use the volumes that you observed of the produced gases to decide what numbers you should
put in front of each formula.
For example, a Balanced chemical equation can look like this: A2B3 2A + 3B… which means
that there are 2 A’s formed for every B.
6. Charged particles were needed to make the reaction faster. What ions were present in the solution due
to the sodium carbonate?
