What Is Big M in Chemistry? Part 2

What Is Big M in Chemistry? Part 2What is Big M in Chemistry? is a question that many people ask each year. While the real answer to the question is no easy one, the short answer is that Big M stands for Manganese. Big M can be considered to be both the smallest and largest element of the periodic table.When talking about Big M and the other elements, there are actually two different sizes of Big M.? The two are not the same, so when we talk about Big M in Chemistry, it's going to have to be two different sizes of Manganese, one in the first column and the other in the second column of the periodic table.The size of Big M depends on what you are trying to find out, such as where the element is going to be placed on the periodic table or if it is going to be added to another element. These are all determined by the reaction between these two elements.When speaking about the size of Big M, there are two different ways you can look at it. The first way is to take the area of the element with the smallest area and then divide that number of times the length and divide that by the width of the element, and then multiply that number by 100.Once you have this information, it is quite simple to figure out the area of Big M. The answer you get is based on the element's height and width. The best way to determine if an element is actually a good candidate for Big M is to measure its height and width and then divide those numbers by the volume of the element.This is going to give you the percentage of Manganese, which is the answer to the question 'What is Big M in Chemistry?' As you can see, the reaction for the size of the Big M is fairly simple. Just remember to look at both the area and the volume.As long as you are able to convert the data from Manganese to Big M, you can work your way through the reactions that will result in a reaction that makes Big M. It won't take long to find out what Big M in Chemistry is.

I didnt get a C in Maths or English GCSE; what do I do now

I didn’t get a C in Maths or English GCSE; what do I do now Maths and English GCSE results can have an impact on your choice of university degree course, as well as your future job. Many universities and workplaces require a minimum C grade in both… BUT don’t worry if you haven’t achieved this; you do have a few options. Contact Your College If you are planning to continue on to higher education (A-Levels, Level 3) contact your sixth form college as soon as possible. Your college may let you resit the GSCE alongside studying for your advanced level subjects; some will even offer extra support to help you with the re-sit. Speak to Your Teacher If you are not planning to stay in education, or your college doesn’t offer GCSE resits, you should speak to your current Maths or English teacher. Your school may allow you to take resits there, or recommend other institutions that do. Advice on Resits Speak to your teachers and college before deciding to re-sit. Many students do far better in re-sits, but your teacher will know your capabilities well. If your teacher really believes you won’t improve, it might not be worth the effort. Resitting exams is difficult, especially if you’re resitting alongside your AS Levels; it can be lonely and will increase your workload. You don’t need to have lessons in school to do a resit; you can always just get private GCSE maths tuition, GCSE English language, GCSE English literature or combined GCSE English tuition and enter as an External Candidate. Most maths tutors and English tutors will be able to help you with this. Request a Remark You can get your paper remarked if you feel it has been marked incorrectly. You need to ask your school or exam centre to submit an EAR (enquiry about results) by 20th September 2014. Bear in mind that your score could go down as well as up, and the remark score is final; so if you’re just a few marks above a grade boundary this is a risky approach. The general rule is that the more subjective the subject is, the more chance the score could change: ie you’re less likely to get a change for Maths or Science subjects than for English or Humanties subjects (ask your teacher’s opinion!) If you didn't acquire the grades you were hoping on the A Levels, read our  blog post  to see what your next steps should be.

Facebook Good for Your Health

Facebook Good for Your Health Photo Via: http://www.techspot.com According to a recent study conducted by a doctoral student at the University of California, San Diego, the amount of time that we spend on social media is actually associated with a longer life. The study was published in the journal PNAS this Monday, and implied that the health effects of spending time online can actually mirror the benefits of living a busy life outside of social media. According to the paper, “We find that people with more friends online are less likely to die than their disconnected counterparts. This evidence contradicts assertions that social media have had a net-negative impact on health.” Of course, it’s easy to be a little skeptical of the study. However, three university and state review boards approved the study. That being said, two authors of the paper had pasts at Facebook, so I’d take the study with a grain of salt. Authors William Hobbs and Moira Burke worked at Facebook previously. But Mr. Hobbs actually said that Facebook didn’t interfere with his study in saying, “We had some things in writing that they couldn’t interfere with the publication of the research no matter what the result was.” That being said, Mr. Hobbs also noted that members of Facebook felt “pretty confident that we were going to find this result.” And a news release that was released by the University of California stated, “The research confirms what scientists have known for a long time about the offline world: People who have stronger social networks live longer.” The study followed a total of 12 million social media profiles and records from the California Department of Health. So what exactly did the study find? For one thing, it found that “moderate use” of the social media site was associated with the lowest mortality rate and friend requests were also associated with reduced mortality. It also found that sending friend requests was not associated with reduced mortality and those with large/average social networks actually lived longer than those with smaller accounts. And the study subjects were all born between 1945 and 1989, so it is taking into consideration multiple generations. According to the paper, the finding was “consistent with classic studies of offline relationships and longevity.” That all being said, the paper also acknowledges that this doesn’t necessarily mean that using Facebook can directly affect your health. Basically, if you’re diagnosed with cancer, using Facebook isn’t going to cure you. Professor of public health and political science, James Fowler, claimed to be surprised at the association between requesting friendships online and longer life spans. According to him, “I had hoped we would find that reaching out to others was associated with better health.” Mr. Fowler claims that this surprise could in part be because researchers that previously correlated friendships with health could have mistaken the relationship between “sociability and health.” According to him, “The reason why people with more friends are healthier is because healthier people have more friends … it may be harder than we thought it was to use social networks to make people healthier.” Basically, the correlation is only there if the good health is there to begin with. Nathan Jurgenson, sociologist and researcher for Snapchat, pointed out that the study viewed the internet vs. real life as binary, even though there was evidence throughout the paper suggesting the opposite. According to Jurgenson, “All of the conceptual and linguistic back flips being done here in trying to explain that the virtual world interacts with the real world could be circumvented by instead taking for granted that digital connection is new and different but that it’s also part of this one social reality. And that being said, this positive outcome is a first for Facebook. Three years ago, a paper that was published in PLOS One journal actually claimed that in a two week span, the more the subjects of the study used Facebook, the worse they rated their own happiness. According to that paper, “On the surface, Facebook provides an invaluable resource for fulfilling the basic human need for social connection. Rather than enhancing well-being, however, these findings suggest that Facebook may undermine it.” But whether you believe the study is accurate or not, it’s another important turn in science that will result in many more studies to follow. According to Mr. Hobbs, “At this point, we’re not making any recommendations on how people should use social media. It’s good to have a long track record of finding these relationships again and again before we start giving recommendations.” That’s probably best.

Choosing a Primary School - Tutor Hunt Blog

Choosing a Primary School Deadline for choosing a primary school - how to make the right choice Deadline for choosing a primary school - how to make the right choicePrimary schoolsParents had until the 16th of January to select a primary school for their child. For many parents this date has been looming ominously for months - and they may well have spent much of the previous year researching the results and reputations of schools in their area. Such is the importance of finding the right place that many parents will have even selected their home based on the catchment area of the local schools. There has been a precipitous increase in pupil numbers over the last few years, which of course makes getting a place for your child in your chosen school even harder. The catchphrase `postcode lottery` has come to be associated with the mad rush to secure a primary school place, with parents sometimes having to accept whatever school in their area will accept them. Having a sibling already at a school certainly enhances your chances for getting another child in, but it is by no means a guarantee. Back in 2015 the School`s Minister Nick Gibbs said that he was going to initiate reforms that would ensure siblings are always able to attend the same school, saying: `I think it should be a requirement when, as long as you live within the catchment area and one of your children is at the school already, there should be a right for your next child to go to that school.` If schools are oversubscribed however, it is possible for admission authorities to use `siblings at the school` as an oversubscription criterion - though the school minister attempted to make a guarantee on this issue, you are not definitely guaranteed a place even if you already have one child at a certain school. While many secondly schools have well established reputations, many parents may find it difficult to discern the relative academic merits of primary schools. A helpful resource for parents struggling to choose the right primary school for their child are the league tables, published every December. These enable statistical comparisons to be clearly seen. There are some though who caution against the use of these league tables when choosing a primary school. Paul Whiteman, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, has stressed that these tables are not the final word on how good a school is. `At face value, all the numbers tell you are how a relatively small group of pupils in a school performed in a set of narrow tests, focused on a small segment of the curriculum. `Tests and exams are only part of the picture.` Ultimately you want to choose a school that you believe your child will be happy attending. There can be no better way to get a feel for a school than visiting it yourself. All schools should have open days, where groups of prospective parents will be shown around - visiting the school`s website will inform you when these take place. ; The NAHT president and head of St John Fisher Catholic Primary school Anne Lyons expressed the importance of parents visiting schools in the process of choosing the right one: `Try and find out whether the school is creating the sort of learning environment that would suit your child - Get a feel for the school to see if it offers the environment for your child in terms of the quality of education and the relationships between children and staff.` However academically impressive a school seems on paper, it may not be the right place for your child to learn. Anne Lyons was keen to point out that a child must be comfortable at a school if they are to reach their full potential there: `Try and find out whether the school is creating the sort of learning environment that would suit your child - think about your child`s personality and the sort of school you want for them.` Parents will have to endure the long wait until the middle of April before they are told if their applications are successful. Tutor hunt has a useful database that lists important information for almost every school in the United Kingdom - information that will be helpful to parents when choosing a school for their child. The latest Ofsted results, along with empirical data collated from various other sources, are clearly presented for each school in our School`s section. 2 years ago0Add a Comment
