Issue 24: Chemistry

Well. I admit I know many of my other classmates take Biology but I was placed in a chemistry class so this would help you ppl eventually~
Actually I don't mind if people give me theirs. All they should do is email me at yao6488@gmail.com
And tell me who should I put as the person who made it. It could be a fake name but Idc. It's not mine and I want to give credit. Also I'm sorry people. I don't take French anymore... I take Japanese now~ :# much to my own selfishness.
Well... Here I go...
 From the Chemistry Reference Tables Workbook by Topical Review Book Company:
1 mole (mol) is 6 x 10^23 atoms, molecules, or ions.
Polyatomic Ions: charged particles composed of two or more atoms. These are quite stable.
The halides are negative ions formed from Group 17 elements >> halogens
Soluble ionic substances (SALT) dissolved in water will conduce electricity >>>> eletrolytes
The notation:
(s) >>>>>> Solid
(aq)>>>>> Liquid
A solution is homogeneous since the solute is distributed uniformly throughout.
Homogenous means of same/similiar nature.
The dissolved solution can't be separated by filtration
The presence of solute raises the boiling point of the solvent and lowers the freezing point of the solvent.
Pressure has an effect on solubility of a solid in water. Increase pressure, the more soluble, less pressure less soluble.
The outermost energy level is the valence level as how many electrons in the valence level is the valence electron.
Any energy level higher than the ground state is referring to the excited stated.
When an excited atom returns to the ground state, energy is release in teh form of quanta, forming a bright line spectrum
To determine the # of neutrons in teh nucleus of an atom, subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
Electronegativity of an atom is the measure of the relative ability of that atom to attract bonding electrons to itself.
Atomic Radius is an estimate of the size of an atom or the distance from the center of the nucleus to the edge of the atom.

From the Barron's Let's Review Chemistry The physical setting and etc.

Neutrons add mass to an atom but do not change the atom's charge.
Isotopes:
A molecule is the smallest identifiable sample of a substance
The noble gases are isolated atoms and are monatomic molecules
Every molecule can be represented by a molecular formula which symbols of the element is succeeded by a subscript that indicates the number of atoms present.
The loss or gain or electrons by an atom results in the formation of an electrically charged particle called a ion.
Chemical formula is an important part of the language of chemistry because it tells us something about the composition of an element or a compound.
Binary Compound: exactly two elements. Ions in ionic compounds do not exist as individual molecules.
An ionic formula is the chemical formula for an ionic compound.
Molecular Formulathe number and type of atoms that are present in a single molecule of a substance.
Empirical Formula: the ratio of elements present in the compound.
Structural Formula: show how the atoms in a molecule are bonded to one another. This is usually to represent chemical bonds by lines and unshared pairs of electrons by a pair of dots.
Real Charges:
Apparent Charges:
Oxidation state: The oxidation number of every atom in a free element is 0. Free element meaning that an element is not combined with another element.
An atom becomes more stable when it acquires the electron configuration of a noble gas.If the valence level of a stabilized atom is the first principal energy level, it would contain TWO electrons, otherwise it will contain EIGHT electrons.
In MOST case, we say that the bonding atoms have obeyed the OCTET RULE.
Octet Rule: The octet rule is a bonding theory used to predict the molecular structure of covalently bonded molecules. Each atom will share, gain, or lose electrons in order to fill outer electron shells with eight electrons. For many elements, this rule works is quick and simple to predict the molecular structure of a molecule.
Read this for the exceptions: http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemicalbonding/tp/Exceptions-To-The-Octet-Rule.htm
Certain pairs of atoms do not have a strong tendency to transfer electrons between them. These atoms share electrons between them. Electron sharing always occurs in pair and the two atoms may normal share 1,2, or 3 pairs of electrons. The atoms bond together because the shared pair or pairs belong to both atoms. This is COVALENT BONDING.
However, the sharing of the electron pair is not always the same in both molecules. If the pairs of electrons are shared equally by both atoms. That is nonpolar covalent bonding. You can look at the structural formula. If it is symmetrical, it is nonpolar covalent.
If it isn't symmetrical it is polar covalent bonding. This is because the electrons are not shared equally.
The Lewis Dot structure is used to see which atoms are present AND how they are joined

That's all for now.

Question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Are we suppose to post test review stuff on this site? Or anime/manga stuff? Or anything?

Issue 23:Unit Conversion

The first one I'm doing this school year ^.^
This one is a simple one, it's easy to understand but also easy to make mistakes.
Okay....

Convert: 1000ft-->meters
Note: 12in=1 ft, 1in=2.54cm and 100cm=1 meters
We are going to use unit multipliers, since it's the easiest way to solve this unit conversion problems.

1000ft  x   12 in  2.54cm  x    1m      = You calculate the answer
    1            1ft           1in        100cm
     ^            ^                                ^
Why 1?,      We put what we         Never change the meaning of the question
It's because     try to cancel out      1m is 100 cm, it can never be 1cm = 100m
We don't want  the units.                 That would be incorrect! But do try to cancel out the equation
to change          In this case, it's
the meaning        feet
of the numerator

The correct answer is 304.8 meters


Cubic and Squaring >>> This is more complicated to remember. Well it's okay....

Convert 10m^3 to yd^3
Note that 1m=100cm, 2.54cm=1 in, 36 in= 1 yd. And that ^3 is the exponent (to the power of three)

  10m^3    (100^3)cm^3   x         1in^3        x        1yd^3     = Calculate the answer
       1                  1m^3             (2.54)^3cm^3      (36)^3 in^3

Since we are doing cubics, you have to cube the multiplier numbers.( For all the multipliers!! The original should be cubed already, we do not need to do that again, otherwise it's incorrect!!!)

The answer should be around 13.08yd^3

Okay, this last question is a little difficult since it needs to convert the time and distance
(I took this question from somewhere and reword it)

A man ran 100 yards in 9 seconds. Would he be speeding if he was running in the neighborhood with a speed limit of 35 mi/hour??
100yds =around 11.11 yd/s
    9s     

35 mi     1hr   x   1min 1760yd  154 yd  = around 17.11 yd/s
 1 hr       60min       60s         1mi            9s

I did the time first here            then distance here
The answer was to match the yd/s
Therefore he wouldn't be speeding

Issue 22: Geometry...

Sorry a little numbering problems
Ok... a little more Geometry
By Miyu.
A = C
B     D

Extremes: A and D
Means: C and B
Cross Products: The product of the means and the product of the extremes. In other words, if A/B=C/D
then ad=bc
Similar: Two Figures that have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size, are similiar.
Similarity Statement: A statement indicating that two polygons are similar by listing their vertices in order of correspondence. (In the same order)
Theorems:
1.Through a line and a point not on the line, there exist exactly one perpendicular line to the given line.
2.The perpendicular segment from a point to a line is the shortest segment from the point to the line.
3.The perpendicular segment from a point to a plane is the shortest segment from the point to the plane.
4.If two lines are parallel, then all points on one line are equidistant from the other line.
5.If a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and its arcs
6.If a diameter bisects a chord other than another diameter then it is perpendicular to the chord.

Issue 21: Geometry

By Miyu:
WELL... It is the hot humid summer but we still have to keep studying to keep up the good work. More Geometry (o。o;)☆⌒(*^-°)v
So... ISSUE 21: Geometry. 
Arc Length: Distance along an arc measured in linear units
 <<< Here's a picture I found on google that could help you. (This isn't a photo made by me, just a good photo to use)

Sector of a circle: The region inside a circle bounded by two radii of the circle and their intercepted
arc.
 <<<More good pictures and information.
Incenter of the triangle: When all 3 angels of a triangle are bisected, the point of concurrency.
If a line bisects an angle of a triangle,  then it divides the opposite side proportionally to the other 2 sides of the triangle.
If perpendicular bisectors are drawn for every side of a triangle, the point of concurrency is the circumcenter of the triangle.
The circumcenter lies at the center of the circle that contains the three vertices of the triangle. Any circle that contains all the vertices of a polygon is called a circumscribed circle. Any Polygon with each vertex on a circle is an inscribed polygon
Theorem 39-1: If one side of a triangle is longer than the other side, then the angle opposite the first side is larger than the angle opposite the first side is larger than the angle opposite the second side.

Theorem 39-2: If one angle of a triangle is larger than another angle, then the side opposite the first angle is longer than the side opposite the second angle.

Theorem 39-3: Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem: The measure of an exterior angle is greater than the measure of either remote interior angle.

Theorem 39-4: The sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Postulate 19: If two polygons are congruent, then they have the same area.
Postulate 20: The area of a region is equal to the sum of the areas of its nonoverlapping parts.
Theorem 40-1: Hinge Theorem- If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and the included angle of the first triangle is greater than the included angle of the second triangle, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle.
Theorem 40-2: Converse of the Hinge Theorem: If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle and  the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle.

**EDIT**
Measure of central angle = Measure of arc. 
(A friend assured me... LOL)

Issue 19: Ume Teaches: Water Budget and Water Tables

Ume teaches:

Water Table:
Precipitation of meltwater (melted glaciers) sink into the ground and become ground water.
* Not all water sink down.
Soil Moisture Zone: Plants use to hydrate (There's a lot of moisture in it)

Zone of Aeration-> filled with air. I would say that the soil moisture zone absorbs most of the water and and what's left, sinks down even more into the Zone of Saturation, which is right underneath the zone of aeration.
This is basically ground water stored. Right underneath is impermeable rock (it won't store water nor will it let go)
The water table is basically the height of where the water is being stored.
The capillary fringe is the by the water table.
Roots store water and have pore spaces

To make this easier, a real-life scenario:
I remember when I was younger, maybe 8 or 9 years old, my friends and I, were digging a huge hole, about 3 meters from the ocean. The soil on the top was all wet, for about 8 inches or so. The middle level was all dry so we had to dump water into the hole to  to prevent it from caving in. We dig about 3 feet in and we started finding the water getting stored, so we had to remove it with our buckets. We had reached the zone of saturation. In the end, the hole was 5 feet deep and 5 people could fit in it. Though we never reached the bedrock; it was fun.

A water budget describes how much water comes in and how much is losted.
Income methods: precipitation (rain/snow/sleet/ hail)
Spending method: (Evapotranspiration, run off, use by humans)

Water budget sees if the water table made an increase or decrease from usual.
If water table is higher than the land, it creates a lake:

Issue 18: Science Review

5.15.12 ISSUE 18: SCIENCE REVIEW
Okay.~THIS IS FULL OF STUFF GIVEN TO ME.

By Miyu and EmPlate tectonics
When waves pass through solids, they move faster. When they pass through liquids, they slow down. Waves also change direction when they pass through liquids and solids.
P-Wave: Primary Waves, the pass through liquids and solids.
S-Wave: Secondary wave, the pass through solids only.
Hot Spots: Magma Chambers that stays in the same place when plates moves over hotspots.
Astronomy:
Types of Galaxy:
Galaxy: Hundreds of millions of stars bounded together by gravity.
Spiral Galaxy: (Ex: Milky Way Galaxy)
Property:
1. Has billions of stars
2. Are going through lifecycles (Stars born and die)
3. Turns into a Nova or a Super Nova.
4. Nebula-gigantic gas clouds from exploding stars
5. Heavy Elements. Exploding stars make heavy elements like uranium and other irons and metals

4 major elements.
Carbon
Oxygen
Hydrogen
Nitrogen

Elements are made by nuclear fusion. Particles come together.
H + H + H + H =He
Stars make elements Elements made by stars were in the Periodic Table Elements 1-92, I is hydrogen, 92 is uranium.
93- 121 is human made elements.
Clusters of Galaxys
Bound together by dark matters
group of 5-10 galaxies
The closest galaxy to us is the Andrometer Galaxy, also a spiral galaxy.
A celestial object is any object outside the earth’s atmosphere. They all move in the same direction and speed. All celestial objects appear to move through the sky east to west. The paths of these apparent motions are circular and occurs at a constant rate of 15 degrees per hour. That is call daily motion.
Aphelion: Point farthest from the sun.
Perihelion: Point closest to the sun.
All planets have elliptical orbits.
Distance from earth to moon is 240,000 miles.
Kepler’s 1st law:The force of gravitation between the sun and a planet is always pulling the planet towards the sun. The planet does not fall into the sun because of the centrifugal effect of its orbital motion. The two forces balance each other. However, when earth moves closer to the sun, its speeds increases due to the increased force of gravity.
When the earth moves away from the sun, its speed decreases due to the decreased force of gravity.
Kepler’s 2nd law: A planet will cross elliptical arcs A, B, C in equal time. (Area A= Area B= Area C) Stated another way, an imaginary line connecting the sun and the planet always sweep through equal areas during equal intervals of time. Since equal areas must be covered in equal areas during equal intervals of time. Since speed must be the fastest at perihelion and slowest at aphelion.
Rocks and Minerals:
Most rocks consist of more than one mineral, they are called polymineralic (granite)
Some rocks consist of only one mineral. They are called monominerallic.
There are over 2000 different types of mineral in the earth..
Organic minerals contain carbon.

Astronomy: We can see the moon only because the moon reflects light from the sun
Weather:
wave cyclone-air pressure- Low pressure system
All weather occur in the troposphere.
Streams deposit sediments by transporting to oceans
Sediments accumulate on the ocean floor.
After many millions of years, the sediments compacts/ lithify and cement, forming layers of bedrock. Disconformity occurs when uplifted bedrock and layering happens w/o folding/ Tilting of bedrock
Syncline: Upward FOld
Anticline: Downward Fold.
Submergence: Covering of Land due to rising sea level.
High PressureLow Pressure
1. Low moisture in Air
2. dry air
3 clear and sunny
4.low humidity
5. low temperature
6. high atmpspheric pressure
7. Wind move away from the center in clockwise directions downwards

9. warm air pass rises
10. below 1013.2mb, air pressure decreases.


Fronts is an air mass that has the same properties and conditions throughout the air mass. where 2 fronts collide, there is a thunderstorm.

Breezes: Gentle winds that extend over distance of less than 100km
Sea Breeze: A cool wind moving from above the water to land
Land Breeze: Flows from the cool land towards the warmer water
Valley Breeze: warm air from the valleys move upslope.
Mountain Breeze: cool air descends from the mountain peaks

Hey!~

Hey~! Ume here.
To all the Girl Scouts who uses or sees this website.
Well. This is my Silver Award which started from September of 2011 to May of 2012. I worked on it with my friend, whose's also known as Momo or Em on this site and my other friend Kathy sometimes. So my team pretty much consist of 3 people with much of my small class of top honor students in a junior high school. Well why would I make this site? Well for pretty much 2 major reasons.
 1. I need a silver award project
 2. I need to study for my test. (I fail if I don't study for science, and later math, and French. Social Studies is ok but I need to know a lot for midterms so I study.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODy7Zjuc3uA

This is pretty stupid reason right? But I need a project and I need to study so why not just combine it, I wondered. So boom! I made review sheets for my class already, why not just make it more widespread by putting it online? (And I was obsess with anime, and Nyan Cat was a popular figure of both America and the Kingdom of Anime, Japan so.... Nyan Cat was made by a American, and the vocals was made by Vocaloid's Queen of Pop, Hatsune Miku, a synthesizer with the voice bank as Saki Fujita-san, so I just used the popular figure without permission. Gomen creator. I ADORE NYAN CAT!~) Oh and I didn't like webs.com so I used blogger and i don't know what was tumbler at that time so... Blogger helped me make this! ncexpressreview.blogspot.com. Every time I made a issue of Test! I posted it in this blog for the people who would use it and advertise it on facebook. Many people read it and Em is the co-creator of ncexpressreview.blogspot.com
Holy! Apparently the last time I checked, there was 475 pageviews on this blog. The most arousing in March and the least...in January when I made the blog on the 20 something. LOL.
I requested help from Em and we did many MANY Projects together, school projects and blog projects, despite she's not a scout like me. So Thank You!~
Thank You. Em, I think u like lovely complex the best and Kathy, Homestuck as always
Ok. There's not much to say and only much to read about this project. So I should close.
Many thanks for you for reading this post. I really appreciate it.
