  • Online Middle School Chemistry Resource

    Updated: 2012-06-30 17:51:47
    The ACS Education Division has developed a new middle school chemistry resource, "Middle School Chemistry: Big Ideas about the Very Small." This free, six-chapter resource can serve as either a stand-alone chemistry unit or as a supplement to any middle school science curriculum. "Middle School Chemistry" uses a hands-on inquiry approach along with specially designed molecular model animations, to take students from concrete experiences to an understanding of the world of atoms and molecules. Share this free resource with middle school teachers you know.

    Updated: 2012-06-30 14:51:38
    Working with your initial premise, how white light exists given quantized energy: an individual photon has a quantized energy, and associated frequency. It can fly through space, situated next to several other photons, each with their own quantized energy. The interactions of white light with matter, say of a photocell or the human retina, is likewise an average of many individual photon to atom interactions.

  • Re: Alkane nomenclature

    But it is a general rule that 1 compound can have only 1 correct structure formula and name. For example, 2-methylbuthane is the same as 3-methylbuthane, but according to the IUPAC nomenclature, only the first name is correct. In this problem it should be the same (only 1 name is correct).
