VCE Stuff > VCE Chemistry

the famous chemists part

<< < (2/3) > >>

cara.mel:
I liked 2 areas of study last unit. I like 2 areas of study this unit. I can't complain :)
(dont like = industrial chem and food chem. I feel like stabbing ethene as much as proteins really.)

At my school they taught us some the history stuff in year 10, I actually remembered all of what we learnt back then, so there wasn't much more to add on to it ^_^

Edit: now I think about it, apart from electrolysis and those silly industrial cells, energy hasn't taught me anything I didn't know from unit 2 chem or physics. I don't think I've put any conscious effort into learning anything but food chem. Food chem was so hard with no background knowledge (I didn't actually know what the functions of proteins fats and carbs was to be honest XD)

kingmar:
So, does anyone think there's any chance of being asked on two chemists? Because I have absolutely NO CLUE at all about it.

Please, VCAA... 100% calculations :P

melanie.dee:
ahha shit i forgot i have to learn this stuff too!

oh god its all piling up haha. yes vcaa. calculations.. please? :cry:

I'm pretty sure that they will ask something about them. But you don't have to learn exact details. You only need to know brief things like their contribution to atomic theory. Here's a list of some:
Dalton - proposed that matter was composed of indivisible particles, which he called atoms.
Ramsay - discovered noble gases
Curie - discovered the elements radium and polonium and studied their radioactivity
Seaborg - discovered many trans uranium elements using a particle accelerator to bombard uranium with hydrogen nuclei
Soddy - confirmed the existence of isotopes
Meitner - demonstrated that barium is a product of neutron-bombarded uranium and proposed the term 'fission' for the process
Rutherford - used the gold-foil (alpha particle experiment) to propose the nuclear model of the atom in which electrons orbit a dense nucleus
Chadwick - identified the neutron as a particle that was neutral and contributed to the mass of the nucleus
Mendeleev - constructed a periodic table by:
> arranging elements with similar chemical properties into vertical groups
> arranging the elements in order of increasing atomic mass into horizontal periods[/list]

DEFINITELY know Mendeleev as well. He has his own dot point in the study design! :P
