Chemistry Link to History

Throughout each chapter, boxes titled Chemistry Link to Health, Chemistry Link to History, Chemistry Link to Industry, and Chemistry Link to the Environment help you connect the chemical concepts you are learning to real-life situations. Many of the figures and diagrams use macro-to-micro illustrations to depict the atomic level of... 

Chemistry Links to Industry and Chemistry Link to History... 

In this last part of the chapter we present - as far as possible - a summarising overview about the development of micro-macro thinking in the history of chemistry. Where no investigations concerning students development of micro-macro-thinking over the time in school were available, we have formulated possible links to historic developments. Further studies, e.g. in the maimer of learning process studies would be helpful. 

About Chemistry—http / /chemistry.about. com/science/ chemistry—open door to the basics of chemistry and beyond with links to tutorials, all the areas of chemistry, the history of chemistry, and latest discoveries. Click General Chemistry to learn the basics. 

The Eastman Kodak Company was founded in the late 1800s and was the first company to offer easy-to-use photography services to the general public. Explore this sitefor some of this history, and be sure to check out the link to About Film and Imaging to read about the chemistry and engineering required for the manufacture of photographic film. 

This Web site presents the full text of classic papers presented by famous chemists, from Arrhenius to Zeeman. There are links to other history of chemistry sites. The site also contains classic calculations from many leading thinkers, but read the teachers notes first. A history-of-chemistry calendar presents a daily rundown of chemistry-related events and major discoveries. 

This is a worldwide metasite that contains links to hundreds of chemistry-related sites from companies, research centers, publications, history and education. This is a good site to start a search for chemistry material. 

It is often interesting and instructive to read the original papers describing important discoveries in your field of interest. Two Web sites. Selected Classic Papers from the History of Chemistry and Classic Papers from the History of Chemistry (and Some Physics too), present many original papers or their translations for those who wish to explore pioneering work in chemistry. To learn about early work on the subject of this chapter, use your Web browser to connect to http //cheniistry.brookscole.coni/ skoogfac/. From the Chapter Resources Menu, choose Web Works. Locate the Chapter 10 section. Click on the link to one of the Web sites just listed. Locate the link to the famous 1923 paper by Debye and Hiickel on the theory of electrolytic solutions and click on it. Read the paper and compare the notation in the paper to the notation in this chapter. What symbol do the authors use for the activity coefficient What important phenomena do the authors relate to their theory Note that the mathematical details are missing from the translation of the paper. 

Shibaski and co-workers have focused very strongly on the binaphthol ligand framework, which they have foimd to be extremely powerful in this and related catalytic processes. They have been able to manipulate the Ugand backbone ster-ics and electronics to some degree although the synthetic chemistry involved is not trivial [41]. Moreover, there have been some issues over catalyst performance being linked to the synthetic history of the catalyst itself. It was thought possible therefore that complexes could be prepared which possessed... 

The brief historical survey given in Table 1-1 shows just how the closely ftie development of catalysis is linked to the history of industrial chemistry [4]. 

Initial teaching of acids and alkahs appears hardly to have changed over the decades, with emphasis on the properties of these classes of compounds and their reactions with other materials and between themselves. It is at higher levels of explanation that there have been some significant changes. In this chapter, I intend to provide a rationale for the progression I am recommending. I will also provide links to the history of chemistry, in an attempt to demonstrate humanity in chemistry, and to some philosophical aspects, as part of the present focus on the nature of science, or how science works .
