  • Alkali Metals- Group 1 (IA)
    Alkali Metals- Group 1 (IA) The alkali metals make up Group 1 of the periodic table. This family consists of the elements lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr, respectively). Group one elements share common characteristics. They are all soft, silver metals. Due to their low ionization energy, these metals have low melting points and are highly reactive. The reactivity of this family increases as you move down the table. Alkali metals are noted for how vigorously they react with water. Due to this, they are often stored in mineral oil and are not found in their elemental forms in nature. These characteristics can be explained by examining the electronic structure of each element in this group. Alkali metals have one valence electron. They readily give up this electron to assume the noble gas configuration as a cation. This makes the elements in this group highly reactive. History Explore the discoverer's biography, including general facts about his life and anecdotes regarding how he made this particular discovery. Also see other significant scientific discoveries built largely on this concept and other real-world applications in history that may not still be relevant. Discoverer/Developer See each tab for individual information about the discoverer of each element. Lithium Lithium was discovered in 1817 by Johan August Arfwedson. Arfwedson was born in 1792 to a wealthy family in Sweden. At a young age he attended the University of Uppsala and earned degrees in law and mineralogy. His interest in minerals is what led to his discovery of lithium.

The French chemist Louis Pasteur devoted his life to solving practical problems of industry, agriculture, and medicine. His discoveries have saved countless lives and created new wealth for the world. Among his discoveries are the pasteurization process and ways of preventing silkworm diseases, anthrax, chicken cholera, and rabies. Louis Pasteur. Archives Photographiques, Paris Pasteur sought no profits from his discoveries, and he supported his family on his professor’s salary or on a modest government allowance. In the laboratory he was a calm and exact worker; but once sure of his findings, he vigorously defended them. Pasteur was an ardent patriot, zealous in his ambition to make France great through science. Scholar and Scientist Louis Pasteur was born on Dec. 27, 1822, in Dôle, France. His father was a tanner. In 1827 the family moved to nearby Arbois, where Louis went to school. He was a hard-working pupil but not an especially brilliant one. When he was 17 he received a degree of bachelor of letters at the Collège Royal de Besançon. For the next three years he tutored younger students and prepared for the École Normale Supérieure, a noted teacher-training college in Paris.

    INDUSTRIAL PROCESS INDUSTRIAL PROCESS SESSION 4 Electrolysis SESSION 4 Electrolysis Session 4 Electrolysis Illustration of an electrolysis apparatus used in a school laboratory. In chemistry and manufacturing, electrolysis is a method of using a direct electric current (DC) to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Electrolysis is commercially highly important as a stage in the separation of elements from naturally occurring sources such as ores using an electrolytic cell. The voltage that is needed for electrolysis to occur is called the decomposition potential.

  • Bunsen's Birthday
    Bunsen’s Birthday Momentary Diversions SCIENTIFIC Introduction A fitting tribute to the man who invented the most useful instrument ever used in a chemistry lab, the Bunsen burner! Concepts • Laboratory safety • Bunsen burners • Combustion Materials Bunsen or Tirrill burners with gas supply (gas outlet), 8–12 Burner tubing, 1-foot lengths, 16–32 T- or Y-tubing connectors, 8–12 Butane safety lighter Safety Precautions Always inspect the Bunsen burner, rubber tubing, and gas valve before using a Bunsen burner. Follow proper procedures for lighting and using a Bunsen burner (see Procedure). Tie back long hair and do not wear loose, long sleeves. Use tongs when holding metal objects in a flame. Have an ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher available. Never leave lit burners unattended. When gas burners are not in use, turn off the main gas supply to the laboratory. Always wear chemical splash goggles whenever chemicals, glassware, or heat are used. All food-grade items that have been brought into the lab are considered laboratory chemicals and are for lab use only. Do not taste or ingest any food items in the chemical laboratory and do not remove any remaining food items after they have been used in the lab. Procedure for Constructing a Bunsen Burner Tribute 1. Clear off the lab bench. Remove all flammable and combustible materials from the work area. 2. Connect three sections of rubber tubing to the first Y-tubing connector. Connect one of these section to the gas outlet. Check for holes or cracks in the all the tubing. 3. Connect two sections of rubber tubing to each of the remaining T-or Y-tubing connectors.

  • The Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents 1841 T0 2021
    The Presidents of the Chemical Society & Royal Society of Chemistry (1841–2024) Contents Introduction 04 Chemical Society Presidents (1841–1980) 07 Royal Society of Chemistry Presidents (1980–2024) 34 Researching Past Presidents 45 Presidents by Date 47 Cover images (left to right): Professor Thomas Graham; Sir Ewart Ray Herbert Jones; Professor Lesley Yellowlees; The President’s Badge of Office Introduction On Tuesday 23 February 1841, a meeting was convened by Robert Warington that resolved to form a society of members interested in the advancement of chemistry. On 30 March, the 77 men who’d already leant their support met at what would be the Chemical Society’s first official meeting; at that meeting, Thomas Graham was unanimously elected to be the Society’s first president. The other main decision made at the 30 March meeting was on the system by which the Chemical Society would be organised: “That the ordinary members shall elect out of their own body, by ballot, a President, four Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer, two Secretaries, and a Council of twelve, four of Introduction whom may be non-resident, by whom the business of the Society shall be conducted.” At the first Annual General Meeting the following year, in March 1842, the Bye Laws were formally enshrined, and the ‘Duty of the President’ was stated: “To preside at all Meetings of the Society and Council. To take the Chair at all ordinary Meetings of the Society, at eight o’clock precisely, and to regulate the order of the proceedings. A Member shall not be eligible as President of the Society for more than two years in succession, but shall be re-eligible after the lapse of one year.” Little has changed in the way presidents are elected; they still have to be a member of the Society and are elected by other members.
