Lawrencepur Sand- A Highly Efficient Adsorbent for the Removal of Cr (VI) from Waste Water

Gerhart Friedlander [9], co-organizer of a recent symposium entitled 'Centennial of the Discovery of Radioactivity' in the Division of Nuclear Chemistry & Technology of the American Chemical Society, has described the overall effect of Becquerel's contribution as follows: "The discovery of radioactivity was the opening salvo that led to the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, and in a very real sense, it was the beginning of the whole fields of nuclear physics and particle physics.

The discovery of radioactivity and its aftermath

Intended for chemical science majors, the undergraduate textbook progresses through chemical reactions, the properties of gases, acid-base equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, chemical bonding, spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, the physical properties of solutions, the descriptive chemistry of the representative elements, transition metals, and basic nuclear chemistry. The "think like a chemist" approach presents chemical observations first and then discusses the models that have been constructed to explain the observed behavior.
