An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. A molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. Molecules are composed of one or more atoms.
Atoms are the basic units of matter and contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. Molecules are formed from atoms bonded together and are the smallest units of compounds. There are two main types of chemical bonds: ionic bonds form between negative and positive ions, while covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in their number of neutrons.
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. A molecule is electrically neutral and made up of different elements bonded together. Molecules are the smallest fundamental units of a compound substance.
This document defines key terminology used in chemistry. It defines elements as species of atoms with the same number of protons, and atoms as the smallest units of matter that make up elements. Molecules are made of two or more atoms bonded together, while compounds are substances made of different elements bonded in fixed ratios. Chemical reactions involve rearrangements of molecular or ionic structures. Other terms defined include ions, molecular formulas, oxidation, reduction, protons, neutrons, and bonds. The document provides concise definitions of important chemical concepts.
Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in positively charged ions that are attracted to negatively charged ions. The percent ionic character of a bond indicates whether it is ionic or polar covalent, and ionic character increases with greater electronegativity difference between the atoms. Compounds with over 50% ionic character that conduct electricity when molten are considered ionic solids.
This document summarizes different types of chemical bonds:
Ionic bonds form through electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. Ionic compounds conduct electricity and have high boiling points. Covalent bonds share pairs of electrons between atoms. Metallic bonds constitute electrostatic forces between delocalized electrons in a "sea" of positive metal ions, giving metals high melting points. Alloys are mixtures of metals with constituents measured by mass that can be substitutional or interstitial in atomic arrangement.
This document provides a summary of basic chemistry concepts including:
1. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass, and can undergo physical or chemical changes. The four main elements that make up the human body are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
2. Atoms are the building blocks of elements and contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons determines the element. Isotopes of elements vary in neutron number.
3. Molecules are formed by chemical bonds between two or more like atoms, while compounds contain two or more different atoms bonded together. Electron configuration and bonding allow for chemical reactions.
Atomic bonding occurs through either primary/chemical bonding or secondary/physical bonding. Primary bonding includes ionic bonding between metallic and non-metallic elements (600-1500 kJ/mol), covalent bonding through shared electron pairs (450-750 kJ/mol), and metallic bonding via delocalized electrons (68-850 kJ/mol). Secondary bonding, such as van der Waals forces, involve atomic dipoles and are much weaker (~10 kJ/mol) except for hydrogen bonding (up to 51 kJ/mol). The type of bonding determines materials properties like melting temperatures, with higher bonding energies corresponding to higher melting points.
Atoms that contain a full outer shell of 8 electrons, such as helium, sodium, and chlorine, are chemically stable. They attain stability through ionic bonding, where sodium and chlorine transfer electrons to become oppositely charged ions held together by electrostatic attraction, or through covalent bonding, where chlorine atoms share electron pairs to form Cl2. Ionic and covalent bonding allow atoms to attain full outer shells of 8 electrons and thus achieve stability.

1. Chemical bonding occurs when atoms share, combine or remove electrons to complete their valence shells via electromagnetic forces of attraction. The nature of bonding depends on the electronegativity of the atoms.
2. Bond energy is the amount of energy required to break or form chemical bonds when molecules separate into individual atoms. Stronger bonds require more energy to break.
3. Fajan's rule describes how ionic versus covalent character depends on cation charge and size relative to the anion. Bonds are more ionic if the cation has a high charge and small size while the anion is large.
Secondary bonding includes dipole forces, induction forces, van der Waals forces, and hydrogen bonding. These weaker intermolecular forces influence the properties of organic compounds. Dipole forces are caused by partial charges on polar bonds and affect properties like melting point. Hydrogen bonding is the strongest secondary bond and significantly increases boiling points, as seen when comparing methanol, ethanol, and water. Hydrogen bonding also improves the mechanical properties of materials like nylon.
This document discusses the three main types of chemical bonds: ionic, covalent, and metallic. Ionic bonds form between ions when electrons are transferred from metals to nonmetals. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons in either single, double or triple bonds. Metallic bonds occur when metal atoms contribute electrons to form a "sea of electrons" that are free to move between atoms. Each bond type has distinct properties related to bonding strength, lattice structure, conductivity and melting/boiling points.
1. The document discusses chemical bonding, specifically ionic and covalent bonds.
2. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, giving positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. Covalent bonds form through the mutual sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
3. Factors that favor ionic bond formation include differences in electronegativity between atoms, ionization energies, electron affinities, and lattice energies of resulting ionic compounds. Ionic compounds have properties like being crystalline solids, poor electrical conductors, high melting/boiling points, and solubility in polar solvents.
1. The document discusses the historical development of atomic theory from Democritus' idea of indivisible atoms to the modern atomic model.
2. Key contributors included Dalton who proposed atoms of different elements have different properties, Thomson who discovered the electron, and Rutherford whose gold foil experiment showed the atom's small, dense nucleus.
3. The modern atomic model consists of a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons in regions of probable location called electron clouds.
Polarity refers to a separation of electric charge within molecules that gives them an electric dipole moment. Electronegativity is an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. There are two types of covalent bonds: nonpolar bonds between identical atoms that share electrons equally, and polar bonds between different atoms that unequally share electrons.
Chapter 6.1 : Introduction to Chemical BondingChris Foltz
This document discusses chemical bonding. It defines chemical bonds as how most atoms are joined together in nature. It describes the two main types of chemical bonds: ionic bonding which results from the transfer of electrons between ions, and covalent bonding which results from the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. Atoms form chemical bonds to decrease their potential energy and become more stable. Bonds are rarely purely ionic or covalent, but instead exist on a spectrum depending on the electronegativity difference between the atoms.
Chemical bonds are the forces that hold atoms together in molecules and crystals. There are two main types of bonds: ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds involve a complete transfer of electrons between atoms, giving one atom a positive charge and the other a negative charge. Covalent bonds involve sharing of electron pairs between atoms. Covalent bonding can involve single, double or triple bonds with one, two or three shared pairs respectively. Ionic compounds are usually solids with high melting points, while covalent compounds have lower melting points due to weaker intermolecular forces.
Chemical bonding is the joining of atoms through attractive forces to form new substances. There are three main types of chemical bonds: ionic bonds form between oppositely charged ions, covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, and metallic bonds result from the attraction between positively charged metal ions and delocalized electrons in metals. The number of valence electrons in an atom determines how it bonds to other atoms.
Chemical bonding occurs through ionic bonds, metallic bonds, or covalent bonds. Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons to become ions with positive and negative charges. Metallic bonds form through the sharing of detached electrons between positive metal ions. Covalent bonds occur when atoms share pairs of electrons to gain a full outer electron shell and stability.
A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms that enables the formation of chemical compounds or substance . The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between atoms with opposite charges, or through the sharing of electrons as in the covalent bonds........
A polar covalent bond forms when electrons in a covalent bond are not shared equally between the two atoms due to differences in electronegativity. Atoms with large differences in electronegativity will form polar covalent bonds, causing the electrons to be attracted more to the atom with higher electronegativity, such as chlorine in a hydrogen-chlorine bond. Polar covalent bonds result in the atoms having partial positive and negative charges.
Batteries convert chemical energy into electricity through cells containing an electrolyte. Each cell has two electrodes - one releases electrons into the electrolyte while the other absorbs them. When a device is connected to the electrodes, an electrical current flows through it providing power for operation.
Chemical bonds form through different types of attractions between atoms. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons equally. Ionic bonds are generally stronger than covalent bonds because more energy is required to overcome the electrostatic forces between ions.
If all the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic weights, a periodic repetition of properties is obtained. This is expressed by the law of periodicity.— Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
