1HNMR theory begins in the nucleus of hydrogen. Complete this tutorial on the 1HNMR spectrum graph to learn about the number of equivalent hydrogens, b) the chemical environment of each hydrogen type and c) the number of neighbouring...

This project asks you to find out just how much DNA can be fit into a cell. Whether animals with a bigger genome need a larger cell nucleus to store its DNA is uncertain. However, by trying your hand at this science project you can find...

This site from the General Chemistry Online of the Frostburg State University provides a review of the history of atomic theory, the discovery of the electron, and the discovery of the nucleus. Details on weighing atoms, ion charges,...

For this activity, students will review and investigate the stability of the nucleus of various elements and determine factors that affect that stability. Students will get an understanding of why certain nuclei are unstable and what...
