Chemical Safety
People use chemicals every day for a wide array of purposes, which can include work and house hold duties. Many of us fail to realize that we are actually handling potentially deadly chemicals when we simply clean the bathroom or wash the car. This brings to mind the reason why chemical safety is...

Protein Design: Automated protein discovery and synthesis
In this paper I describe (theoretically) the method(s) of automated protein discovery and synthesis.

Use of diamonds
Diamond is a crystalline modification of pure carbon formed in the deep interior of the Earth, in the upper mantle at depths of more than 80-100 kilometers, at exceptionally high pressure and temperature. It is the most precious stone, the hardest and most wear-resistant mineral, the most...

What's In Your Beverage? How to Ensure Quality Control with CO2 Analytical Support
Calibration standards, performance audits, and the FDA's never-ending safety, labeling, and inspection requirements are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dealing with the increasingly stringent quality control standards of the beverage industry. As these quality standards become...

Creating Malachite egg
One of the most interesting and obvious chemical experiments is the experiment on the interaction of copper sulfate and calcium carbonate. The latter is contained in the shell of a simple egg, but copper sulphate should be searched in a chemical reagent store. This experience is simple, but...

Hund's Rule
All orbitals of a given sublevel must be occupied by single electrons before pairing begins.
Meniscus
The shape assumed by the surface of a liquid in a cylindrical container.
Crystal Lattice Energy
Amount of energy that holds a crystal together, the energy change when a mole of solid is formed from its constituent molecules or ions (for ionic compounds) in their gaseous state.
Coordination Compound or Complex
A compound containing coordinate covalent bonds.
Tyndall Effect
The scattering of light by colloidal particles.
Coordination Isomers
Isomers involving exchanges of ligands between complex cation and complex anion of the same compound.
Melting Point
The temperature at which liquid and solid coexist in equilibrium, also the freezing point.
Rate of Reaction
Change in the concentration of a reactant or product per unit time.
End Point
The point at which an indicator changes colour and a titration is stopped.
Coordination Number
In describing crystals, the number of nearest neighbours of an atom or ion. The number of donor atoms coordinated to a metal.
