HSC Chemistry Assessment task 1 Nuclear Chemistry Research report 1. Distinguish between stable and radioactive isotopes and describe the conditions which a nucleus is unstable. To understand if an element is stable we first must understand what stability is. The stability of the nucleus is directly related to the strength of the forces that hold the nuclear particles together. These protons and neutrons of the nucleus are called nucleons.
In 2025, the emerging powers suggest the rise of a multi-polar world. In 1913, 37% of the global GDP was dominated by the British Empire, 19% by the USA and 9% by both China and Germany. To understand why the British Empire dominated 37% of the world’s global GDP the rigid control that the British Empire had over the world needs to be understood. At its height, during the reign of Queen Victoria, the British Empire had included a quarter of the world's land and people. From the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 to the start of World War I in 1914, Britain acquired so many new colonies that the empire stretched around the world.
Alfred Wegner was the theorist behind the discovery of tectonic plates back at the start of the 19th century. He found that across the globe there were small bits of evidence that showed the earth was once just one big continent called Pangaea, one part of evidence he found to explain this vast continent was the mountain ranges going through the middle of the West of Africa and the East of South America both of which go right up to the coastline and end in the sea. He noticed that if you connected the two continents up like a jigsaw then the two mountain ranges joined up nicely to make one big one. It isn’t just these two continents that join up but all the continents we have today connected up. For example Canada and the north of Scotland connect agreeably, and they have similar rock formations which indicate that they were laid down at the same time in the same place.
In what sense is the Newtonian universe simpler than Ptolemy’s? Suppose observations had shown that the two did equally well at explaining the data. Construct an argument to say that Newton’s universe should still be preferred. The idea that the universe works mechanically, like a clock. It is called Newtonian, because it began from the Newtonian discovery of the laws of gravity and world motion.
He was known for establishing one of the oldest collections of laws still in existence today. This collection was known as the Hammurabi code and affected the entire population from nobleman to slave. When compared to present day laws, many similarities and differences can be found in areas such as crime and punishment, real estate, and family matters. The story of Mesopotamian civilization begins over four thousand
I have lived in two of the four Commonwealth states and for the most part their laws are the same as each other but are not the same however as a State. The term for Commonwealth comes from a time in Britain that the royals were not in power of the people but Parliament was. The term Commonwealth have now also been adopted By areas associated with the United States an example being Puerto Rico. There are over 50 states that have adopted this beliefe. Being a Commonwealth state from the beginning Commonwealth 3 Kentucky has had four constitutions.
Every adult over the age of 18 can vote. The chief of state and head of government is also the president, who is elected to a 4-year term. The president is also the leader of his or her political party. The two major political parties that exist in the US are the Democratic and Republican parties. In Poland, as in the United States every adult over the age of 18 can
Kurtis Clark Mrs. Vendrimini May 13th 2015 CHC2D Canada- UN Activities and Canadian Identity In the United Nations (UN), Canada plays a very important role in peacekeeping operations, foreign aid and in international agreements. Canada has been a member of the UN since 1945. Canadian, Lester. B. Pearson invented UN peacekeepers as a response to the 1956 Suez crisis but Canada has been participating in peacekeeping missions early as 1946(Wood1-2). When it comes to international agreements, Canada is an active participant and has signed various treaties over the years.
Why a more centralized and stronger constitution/government was needed? The Utility of the Union as a Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection (#10) is perhaps the most famous and highly regarded of the Federalist papers. It was written by one of the Founding Fathers of the Constitution, James Madison, and was published by the Dailey Advisor on Thursday, November 22, 1787. (1) Howard Zinn says, “Madison argued that a representative government… vote of the majority.”(2) According to Madison a faction is “a number of citizens, whether amounting to the majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse or passion, or of interest.”(3) When Madison says majority and minority, he is referring to the
