...not have all the properties of nonmetals because they react chemically. A few compounds that have noble gases have been created. Each element has filled an outer energy level of electrons. The level of helium is filled with two electrons, but the rest of noble gases have eight electrons. Group 18 was originally called inert gas group because it was thought that elements could not produce stable compounds. Also because their valence levels are full and normally noble gases do not add more electrons. Fluorine can have a high attraction to electrons that it attracts electrons from some noble gases and causes them to have a positive oxidation state. Only some reactivity is seen. Argon and xenon are the only ones to produce stable compounds. Neon has been wheedled into reactions under bead conditions of temperature and pressure. Helium has not shown an activity. Noble gases are nonpolar and that means they hold in the liquid and solid phases by van der Waals forces. Helium with the fewest electrons has the lowest boiling point. In this group, the boiling point increases from top to bottom. Helium was discovered by Janssen in 1868. Helium’s atomic number is 2. Its symbol is He. Also, it has a weight of 4.002602. Helium is a light, colorless gas. Helium has one of the lowest melting point. It’s the only liquid that cannot be made into a...

...[pic] Name: Neon-Ne Discovery / history: The name neon derives its name from Greek word (meaning 'New One'). It was discovered by scittusg chemist William Ramsay in 1898 and English Chemist Morris W. Travers in London, England. Neon was discovered as a chilled sample of the atmosphere, until it turned out to a liquid, then warmed the liquid and captured the fresh gases as they boiled off. Properties: Chemical Properties Neon is an inert element because it has 8 valence electrons and is completely stable, the only reason elements react is to form a stable octet, since neon has a stable octet, there is no reason for it to react. Although neon is classified as inert, it can form an exotic compound with fluorine under extreme laboratory conditions. While it is not known for sure, some evidence suggests that this compound may be able to form naturally. Neon gas also has the ability to form an unstable hydrate when it reacts with water.2 Physical Properties Neon is the tenth element of the periodic table, in group 18, making it a noble gas. It is an odorless, tasteless, nontoxic gas without the ability to form stable compounds. Neon is very light and colourless under normal conditions, however, it glows a reddish-orange colour when in a vacuum discharge tube, as it is excited electrically. Neon has the smallest liquid range of any element from the periodic table...

...The Element Neon Discovery of Neon The periodic table is prearranged like a large grid. Each element is placed in a specific location because of its atomic structure. The periodic table consists of one hundred eighteen elements in total. Neon is one of those elements within the Periodic table and NE symbolizes this element. Neon has an atomic number of 10 which is the number of protons in the nucleus and an atomic weight of approximately 20 which is the average mass of the atom. The interesting fact is that Neon gets its name from the Greek word “Neos” which means new. The element Neon was discovered by a Scottish chemist named Sir William Ramsay and an English chemist named Morris M. Travers at University College London. These two had also...

...SOUNDS OF SILENCE Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools", said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed In the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence IMPOSSIBLE DREAM To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear the unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To write the unwritable wrong To be better far than you are To try when your arms are too weary The reach the unreachable star ...

...Urban’s description of the highway not only represents people carelessly driving fast but also represents how people speed through life. We can all relate with this comparison since we all have been on the highway and we all have found ourselves daydreaming about an event coming, whether it is a few days away or even a few years. It is natural for people to look so forward to something coming in the future that is causes to not recognized and appreciate what is happening in the present. He even goes to compare our lives as a “race” that we are afraid to finish in last in. Keith says he realized how fast we are moving though life when he was sitting on his roof “watching the cars go by”. He then goes on the compare our lives to a “river of neon lights” once again comparing it to cars speeding on the road. He means by all this that sometime the only way we can realize how fast we are moving through life is just by sitting back and watching everyone else carelessly move through time. He ends this stanza by saying “But somewhere in the rush I felt we’re losing ourselves”. The song “Days Go By” could also be interpreted to something else other that life itself, but also...

In the world of television Japanese style cartoons known as “anime” has seen a recent boom in popularity. A large amount of anime has gone on to become classics in the eyes of its viewers but not everyone makes the cut. Some anime shows really do nothing more than waste peoples time with their lack of inspiration and artistic skill. This can be seen quite clearly the difference after comparing the anime “Sailor moon” and the new version of “Neo Genesis Evangelion”. Sailor moon surpasses Neo Genesis Evangelion in a nearly countless number of ways From the character development, to the plot , even the general impact these shows had on society Sailor moon comes out on top every time. First off Sailor Moon has a much better character development than Neo Genesis Evangelion. In sailor moon the main character Usagi doesn’t seem all that special outside of a need abnormally large need to spend time at the arcade and day dream in a fairly pragmatic society that disapproves of such actions. That changes when she is visit by a talking cat named Luna and told that she must fight to protect humanity. This basic plot outline is one of the biggest changes to how the magical girl genre of anime works. Magical girls were usually told to just have fun with their new found powers but for sailor moon it’s not fun it’s her job. There...

...Trolli candies have been a classic taste known to America since 1975 with their most popular seller, the Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers. These worm shaped candies are the perfect combination of tangy, sour, and sweet, which is why they have become so popular today. Although, do they have some competition? With the growing success of chain grocery markets like Kroger and Farm Fresh, new “generic” brands are coming out and are competing along name brand items. One of these items are the Kroger Sour Neon Worms. To the average gummy worm fan, the difference is almost nonexistent. The Kroger brand even has a better price, better overall nutritional value, and the same classic flavor or a Trolli Sour Brits Crawler. On average, the typical bag...

...Neon, mercury, and olive oil change from their natural states of matter when the temperature changes. Once the temperature does change, the particles start moving, and the states of matter change. For example, the movement of the particles in neon are limited as the temperature decreases. The particles of neon in it’s gas form go crazy and speed up, colliding into each other and spread out over all the space. Neon turns to a liquid between -248°C and -246°C. In this stage, the particles can slide around each other, allowing them to take the shape of any container that they are in. At -248°C, neon is a solid. The particles huddle next to each other, because of the attraction that they feel, and vibrate. Mercury, on the other hand, is in it’s...

...near the insulator, known as induction. Grounded neon bulbs were touched to the charged conductor to indicate the direction of electron flow. In the second part of the lab, a charged metal pan was used to store charge in a Leiden Jar capacitor. The charged conductor was touched to the outside metal of theNeon bulbs were used to show the direction of electron flow and prove the Leiden Jar acted as a capacitor by storing the charge and not creating a circuit. The apparatuses used were plexi-glass, a Styrofoam plate, a neon bulb and a metal pan for the first part of the experiment. In the second part, a Leiden Jar was made by wrapping aluminum foil around the outside and inside of the Styrofoam cup and connecting a neon bulb on each side. Plexi-glass and Styrofoam were rubbed against each other to charge by friction. We placed a metal pan above the Styrofoam without touching to charge by induction. A neon bulb, which has two indicator lights to determine the flow of electrons, was touched to the metal pan. When the neon bulb was touched to the metal pan the light on the pan side lit up indicating that the electrons were flowing out of the metal pan. The charges flowing out prove that the Styrofoam insulator was negatively charged because the electrons were free to leave the metal pan making the metal pan positively charged. The metal pan was then moved away from the Styrofoam and discharged using a grounded neon bulb. When the neon bulb was touched to the metal pan the light on...

...Diffraction Grating Aim To investigate how the diffraction grating can be used to measure the wavelength’s of light. Abstract To determine the wavelengths of the visible spectral lines of Ne with high precision and to compare calculated with handbook values. To determine the experimental uncertainty of the wavelength values (i.e. the precision of the experiment). To observe the line spectrum of an unknown source and determine the wavelengths of one particular order. Theory Figure 1 Figure 1 Light can be split up into a range between 400 nm to 700nm, this is called the visible spectrum, which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The largest of the visible spectrum is red which is about 700 nm and the smallest wave is violet which is approximate 400 nm. From figure 1 it can be seen the colours of light being separated by a triangular prism the longer waves (red) and shorter waves (blue) being separated. Diffraction, when waves meet a gap in a barrier they carry on through the gap, the waves spread out to wide extent into the area beyond the gap, as can be seen in figure 2. But the extent on how it does spread depends on the size of the gap, the larger the gap the less spreading which is done by the wave, the smaller the gap the more spreading the waves does. This exact phenomenon is the reason you can hear someone round the corner of a building before you see them or while driving your car you can still receive a radio signal miles away from the transmitter. ...

...coiling or knitting, the fibers have greater losses along the length. This means that more light is available for side viewing purposes. 15. Can side emitting optics be as bright or brighter than neon? Answer- Fiber optics can be made to be brighter than neon but only for very short distances. We can think of a garden hose as an example: making tiny holes along the hose can cause a sizeable amount of water gushing out of the holes nearer the tap, and for a distance that will depend on the size of the holes. If we make the holes larger a greater amount of water will issue, but only for a shorter distance until it only trickles. There is a limit to the quantity of water that can be made to pass through a hose, a limit given by the material of the pipe and the viscosity of water. We simply cannot increase pressure infinitely. The limit on the quantity of light traveling through a fiber optic is also imposed by physics: the actual material of which the optic is made and the intrinsic qualities of light. There is a power density limit to each material. In some systems, especially with late generation purpose made metal halide illuminators, luminance values greater or equal to that of neon may be obtained for lengths up to few meters. The sizeable cost of these systems when compared to neon makes the proposal impractical in most cases. 16. With all the limitations, what are the uses of side emitting optics? Answer- There is a common misconception about the quantity of light needed...

...SB 798 prohibits the sale and manufacture of BB guns and imitation firearms unless the entire exterior surface is painted in bright neon colours. This Californian bill was amended on April 13th 2011 by Californian Senator, De León. The purpose behind this bill is to protect Californians, especially accidental shooting of residents from law enforcements due to fake firearms which are indistinguishable from real guns. However, SB 798 will not make California safer and will do more harm than good. Airsoft guns are not toys in any way, shape or form. Airsoft guns are firearm replicas on a 1:1 scaling ratio and almost indistinguishable as fake firearms by appearance. The current law prohibits the sale of airsoft guns to minors unless accompanied by a parent or guardian, as airsoft guns require the same care and handling as if they were real firearms. Airsoft guns are designed to discharge non-metallic BBs six millimeters in diameter, which weigh between 0.2 to 0.4 grams. However most airsoft guns are high powered and are capable of firing at a velocity between 300 to 500 feet per second. Improper firing of such high powered airsoft guns can result in serious bruises, knocking out of tooth and even penetration of skin. Painting airsoft guns in bright neon colours will give the impression to parents that they are toys and therefore suitable for children. This will cause more harm as more airsoft guns will become more available to children. Whether painted or not, airsoft guns should...
