Abstract
This paper examines why organic chemistry is important in the writer's life. Specifically, the paper looks at how organic chemistry can offer tips on how to better treat oneself. Further the paper also offers insight into why human beings act as they do and why the human brain occasionally malfunctions - sometimes with tragic consequences. More than that, the writer looks at what organic chemistry can teach us about the surrounding world - and what it can teach human beings about the past and future.
From the Paper
"Organic Chemistry is important to each and every one of us in the sense that it reveals to students the myriad ways in which chemicals reacting and interacting within the body allow us to perform our daily activities - and shape the kinds of human beings we become. For instance, students need to know all about vitamins C and E and what these elements do within their bodies so that they can know all about why it is vital that certain fruits and vegetables be ingested by them on a daily basis. In my own case, it was not until I came to understand what I was doing to myself on an organic, physiological and biological level when I neglected certain foods that I began to see an improvement in my own health and in my vitality over the course of a long day."

Abstract
This paper answers some questions on Lewis Dot structures, polarity of molecules, molecular and electron geometry of molecules, and gives some dot structures, polarity and molecular data on a number of chemicals.
From the Paper
"The difference in polarity between CO and SO can be explained by their molecular shape. The CO has a linear shape being O C O. There are two electron domains around the central carbon atom therefore it is linear. There is no charge on the molecule because there are no lone electron pairs. The SO molecule is a bent molecule existing as a resonance structure with a lone pair of electrons on the S. The molecule has an S-O single bond and an S O double..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the differences between organic and inorganic chemistry and provides a brief insight into organic chemistry and the family of the hydrocarbons. It looks at how the salient point to remember in the formation of compounds (everything else flows from there) that drives chemical processes is the need to complete the valence or the atomic shell of each element?s inherent instability. It shows how inorganic and organic chemistry are the results of variable approaches to solving the instability and how this then results in the formation of the stable compounds that the world we live in and the universe at large need to survive.
From the Paper
"The arrangement of the four electrons around the carbon lend it a tetrahedral (equal on four sides in three dimensions) geometry. The simplest organic compound is methane (inflammable gas found in sewers and coal mines) where a single carbon atom is covalently linked to four hydrogen atoms. In this way, each hydrogen atom can claim two electrons needed to complete its shell (its own and one from carbon). The four carbon electrons and one each from the four hydrogen atoms complete its shell of eight. If one considers a chain of carbon atoms linked together carbon to carbon (C-C) with associated carbon to hydrogen (C-H) bonds, an organic molecule is formed. These compounds are straight chains, rings, or chains with cross- links and branches."

Abstract
In this progress report, a student addresses the importance of learning to have patience with the difficult and time-consuming procedures of an advanced chemistry course. The paper points out that, in chemistry experiments and operations, it takes great lengths of time to separate various chemicals, such as acids and other various bonding agents and solvents. The paper recounts the student's attempt to speed up one such process, only to realize he had ruined it. Through this error, he realized that he had not been patient enough to effectively see the bonding procedure to its conclusion. The paper concludes with a list of helpful future strategies for dealing with impatience.
From the Paper
"After the class, my professor asked me to have a meeting about the project. Although she was annoyed at the failure of my actions, she was extremely open to solutions to the problem. I had not even realized that I had rushed the project at first, but she had quickly understood what had gone wrong. Our discussion lasted for nearly an hour, and we both came to the conclusion that there needed to be exercises for me to solve my problem with patience. Although I had clearly understood how to accomplish the projects in class, there was another dimension of chemistry, which I needed to learn. The professor was telling me that chemistry was more than just tables, procedures and memorization, but had more to do with learning to manage one's time in an efficient manner. This discussion awakened me to the realization that I had to learn to properly evaluate my time, especially at this advanced stage of chemical studies."

From the Paper
"The teaching of chemistry should constitute more than facts about chemicals and their methods of bonding. What is needed even more is to teach the fundamental ways of thinking used by chemists, for if the student can master these modes of thought, he or she will be better able to understand chemistry and any facts that are to be taught later. To teach this mode of though, a strategy is needed that will help the student understand the issues involved. The teaching of chemistry os often delayed until the alter grades, but this is not a good approach given that by the time the student reaches those grades, his or her mode of thought is set and is difficult to change. Children should be guided to understand the sciences beginning in the early grades so they will be better prepared for more advanced scientific knowledge later. An examination of some of the modes ... "

Introduction
Forensic Evidence
Cause of Death
DNA Profiling
Ink Dating
Legal Validity
Trace Evidence
Bibliography
From the Paper
"DNA evidence was submitted in three criminal cases in Australia. It was challenged in two of those cases but it was found that the DNA evidence was admissible. However, there have been cases where DNA wasn?t admissible, as it was found not having being treated with care. The evidence had not been handled carefully due to sloppy work. In another case, the investigator had accidentally sneezed over the evidence, which made it hard for the forensics department to track the culprit."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that finding adequate definitions for basic chemical reactions can prove difficult for someone who is not well-versed in chemistry. Be that as it may, the following paper pieces together some basic definitions of first and second-order chemical reactions as well as the differential rate law. Along the way, the paper provides a few common examples for the first two of the definitions and also tries to capture the most salient features of each of the concepts outlined above. Ultimately, while this is not an exhaustive review of these items, it does provide a useful starting-point for further research.
From the Paper
"A non-technical definition of a first order reaction is difficult to avoid but, to put it in the simplest terms possible, it is a reaction in which the rate of reaction "is proportional to the concentration of the single substance undergoing change.""

Abstract
This paper discusses the chemistry of pollution, noting the elements involved in most air pollution and water pollution, the development of acid rain, the creation of low-level ozone, and pollutants in the air. This paper further discusses how they interact and damage human health, stating that pollution is the result of chemical reactions from chemicals released into the environment in solid, liquid, or gaseous form to interact with naturally occurring elements.
From the Paper
"Pollution is the result of chemical reactions from chemicals released into the environment in solid, liquid, or gaseous form to interact with naturally occurring elements in the environment in order to alter the make-up of water, air, and soil. Many kinds of pollution are prevalent today as industrial processes create waste, emissions, and discharges that damage the environment and threaten health. The major components of clean air are oxygen and nitrogen, but clean air contains many other substances, among them such rare gases as argon, neon, and helium. Clean air also contains ozone, a form of oxygen; carbon dioxide; and various nitrogen and sulfur compounds. Clean air also contains water vapor in different degrees and many suspended solid particles and liquid substances, the latter called aerosols and consisting of dust particles and condensation nuclei, which include chloride salts, sulfuric and nitrous acids, phosphorous compounds, and many other chemical substances."

From the Paper
"The history of chemistry involves a journey from its magical and mythological origin to the highly complex and analytical science that it is today. Chemistry, the science which explains the composition of matter and the changes that different forms of matter undergo, did not gain much momentum until the seventeenth century. Prior to the 1600s, the study of chemistry languished in a pre-scientific period, suffering from some prominent misconceptions and untenable theories. Advances made in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have brought chemistry to such an advanced state that we are able to examine the composition of material on an atomic, and even a sub-atomic level.
Beginning with the use of fire, humans have observed the transformation of matter. Fire burns wood to produce ash, and meat becomes cooked over flame. These changes, known to..."

From the Paper
"Chemistry is a branch of science that is used to explain and reveal the composition, structure, and properties of substances and to demonstrate the changes that they can undergo. For example, interaction with other materials can cause substances to acquire different properties, such as a change in physical form. Therefore, a large part of chemistry is observation--before, during, and after change takes place. There are three fields of study in chemistry--organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry. Organic chemistry deals with the study of compounds made up from carbon forms, such as those found in living beings. Inorganic chemistry covers compounds not found in plants or animals and therefore classed as inorganic (noncarbon compounds). Physical chemistry addresses the actions of chemistry that are resolved using the laws of physics."
