CHEM 120 Week 1 Discussion Question 1 Scientific Method and Calculations.

Initial Post Instructions The Discussions in this course are set up deepen your understanding of the material as you make real world connections and employ creative thinking. To get the most from t hese discussions, full engagement is expected on the part of the student. Be sure to stop by the discussion section frequently, not only to post, but to read the postings of your peers and instructor. Engaging with your peers and learning together is key to this experience. For your initial post, choo...

Option 1: While we often think of radiation as dangerous, radioactive isotopes are widely used in the field of healthcare as well as in many other fields. For your initial post, choose a radioactive isotope used in healthcare or another field and report on how your isotope is used. Be sure to answer both of the following questions as part of your initial post: a. What type(s) of radioactive decay does your isotope undergo? b. How is your isotope used? Use at least one outside source and ci...

Initial Post Instructions Option 1: Your initial post in the discussion this week consists of two parts. First, choose a molecule used in healthcare, industry, or found in a natural source and discuss the importance of this molecule. Be sure to include at least one outside source and make sure to follow APA citation guidelines. In the second part of your initial post, we will be practicing naming ionic and covalent compounds as well as polyatomic ions. To begin, give the chemical formula for ...

CHEM 120 Week 5 Discussion Question 1 and 2– Organic Molecules 1 & 2.

CHEM 120 Week 2 Discussion 1 - Chemical Names (graded) Sulfates, sulfites, nitrates, nitrites—how does one keep all of these similar but different names straight? Let’s begin this discussion by talking about the naming of different compounds. Why would it be important to make sure that you know which compound is associated with which name? To apply these concepts, look at problems 18 & 22 on page 122. Choose one part of the problem, & provide your answer. Check out the following ex...

Option 1 A growing concern in agricultural and food chemistry is the presence of residues in food. We use many forms of organic chemicals in agriculture and food chemistry and there is growing concern as to how safe these materials are. Choose an organic chemical used in agricultural or food chemistry and report on the functional groups contained in your compound, the uses of the compound, and the safety of that compound. This research will require one or more
