In this unit, you will learn how to build your own home chemistry lab safely under the direction of professionals. We’ll show you how to do real chemistry experiments, provide chemical storage information, give guidelines on proper chemical disposal when you’re finished, highlight lab tips and tricks, and warn you about things to watch out for. This is real chemistry for real kids.

You’ll want to contact your local disposal facility to find out how they are set up to accommodate this. Here’s an official website: http://www.asbestos-abatement.com/disposal-of-asbestos-containing-material.html Don’t let your kids play with it or get the particles in the air.
We inherited a very nice set of chemistry glassware which contains asbestos. Is this safe to use? If not, how should we dispose of it. Thanks!
Thanks… fixed!

Cosmos should be spelled Kosmos
I don’t know what type of diagram you want. If it is by electron sublevel and orbital occupancy it would be:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p5
The s sublevel has one spherically shaped orbital. Since ANY orbital has a max of 2 electrons, any s sublevel is filled with 2 electrons.
The p sublevel has 3 dumbbell shaped orbitals, with 2 electron each. Any p sublevel is filled with a max of 6 electrons.
The d sublevels has 5 orbitals with different shapes, with 2 electron each. Any d sublevel is filled with a max of 10 electrons.
The f sublevels are really weird; two interpenetrating tetrahedron
So the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd main energy levels would be filled. The 4f sublevel would be of higher energy and would be void of electrons. Only the 5s orbital is filled and the 5p sublevel has 5 of 6 electrons.
The nucleus has 53 protons and 131-53=78 neutrons.
I’ve attached the shapes of the s, p, d orbitals. Also the order in which they fill. I hope this helps!
Hi Aurora!
It’s been a while since I was last here, but I’m doing an assignment and I need to have a diagram of the radioisotope Iodine-131, but I’ve looked everywhere on the internet and I can’t find one anywhere! I’ve spent two hours just this morning trying to find a diagram. The exact question is:
“Depict the Sub-Atomic particle structure of the radioisotope. (Use a diagram that you have drawn if necessary).”
I was just wondering if you knew where I could find a diagram or picture of Iodine-131, or could give me a link where I could find one?
Thank you!
Laura 🙂
An ionic bomb is only in comic books… there are hydrogen and atomic bombs, though. You can read more about those in Unit 7: Particle Physics.
An atom is the smallest bit of stable matter, made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. You can read more about the different parts in Unit 3 and Unit 7. Atoms can be transformed from one into another (like turning lead into gold) during a nuclear chemical reaction by changing the number of protons in the nucleus.
How is an atom made? Also, what is an ionic bomb?
