Adamantane
Number of words: 2393 - Number of pages: 9.... incarnate.3 However, the fact that they found the structure Decker predicted did not mean that his nomenclature would be used to identify the compound. That honor was bestowed upon its discoverers Landa and Machcahcaeck who used the Greek translation of diamond, , to identify the compound.2
Crude petroleum is separated into its component compounds by fractional distillation. The procedure involves a sample of the petroleum to be heated until the sample is vaporized leaving behind any solid impurities. The resulting steam enters a fractional distillation column .....

Acid Rain
Number of words: 952 - Number of pages: 4.... on both the environment and as well as human structures. On
average, acid rain is about nine times more acidic than rain water, and has been
recorded as low as 2.5 on the pH scale (forty times more acidic than water.)
Acid deposition kill fish, soil bacteria, and as well as aquatic and terrestrial
plants. the acid also drain the soil of essential nutrients such as aluminum and
releases them into bodies of water such as streams, lakes, and ponds. These
bodies of water develop highly concentrated levels of these nutrients which can
really harm the aquatic lif .....

As the days progressed, it's total number of escapes decreased. This could be attributed to the fact that every time it found it's way outside, it was immediately picked up and returned to it's proper location. This is a perfect example of using the untraining techni .....

The Atom
Number of words: 1577 - Number of pages: 6.... by physical
experiment. They sang success at the annual Cavendish dinner.
Armed with the electron, and knowing from other experiment that what was
left when electrons were stripped away from an atom was much more massive
remainder that was positively charged, Thomson went on in the next decade to
develop a model of the atom that came to be called the "plum pudding" model.
The Thomson atom, "a number of negatively electrified corpuscles enclosed in a
sphere of uniform positive electrification" like raisins in a pudding, was a
hybrid: particulate electrons and .....

Atomic Bombs
Number of words: 593 - Number of pages: 3.... seconds and killed a total of 115,000 people in only a few minutes according to a local newspaper in Japan. Moreover, the second bomb being dropped at Nagasaki killed an average of 70,000 people. In these two blasts, entire families perished, leaving no one to report the death until four months from the catastrophe. This has made the Atomic Bomb the most powerful weapon ever invented in mankind.
Secondly, countries that produce these bombs are harming others as well as themselves if there was war. For example, if a country fires an atomic bomb on another .....

Acid Rain
Number of words: 1923 - Number of pages: 7.... in Sweden and Norway first believed that acidic rain may be causing
great ecological damage to the planet. The problem was that by the time that the
scientist found the problem it was already very large. Detecting an acid lake is
often quite difficult. A lake does not become acid over night. It happens over a
period of many years, some times decades. The changes are usually to gradual for
them to be noticed early.
At the beginning of the 20th century most rivers/lakes like the river
Tovdal in Norway had not yet begun to die. However by 1926 local inspect .....
