Would chemists make weed killer?
Yes, chemists make weed killer. Some of them are fairly simple compounds, others are very complex. They act in many different ways, and some can be designed to kill some plants but not others. An effective herbicide will have the least effect upon non-target plants and the most potent effects upon target vegetation.
What happens when molecules are heated or cooled?
Depends on what sort of structure those molecules are in and which molecules they are. It's relevent because certain molecular and intermolecular structures and arrangements are more stable than others, making some remain put where as others will gain enough energy to release themselves. Electronic orbitals have everything to do with it.
Orbitals used to form the covalent bonds in butane?
Butane : CH3CH2CH2CH3. You have got four orbitals to use in bonding with carbon; 2s, and 3 x 2p. They blend together to form four equal orbitals, called hybrids. Hybridisation isn't covered on UK Chemistry syllabuses at school, but it's not too hard to visualise. Each of your four sp3 hybrid orbitals wants to be as far apart from the others as possible, so they move to a tetrahedral shape. Then along the length of the butane C-C chain they are just overlapping end on, exactly like any other sigma bond. The hydrogens are overlapping their s orbitals with the rest of the sp3 hybrids. If you don't have chemistry models to hand, try making a set of blobs of plasticene with four pencils stuck in at tetrahedral angles, then connect them together - you should see the zig zag shape of the C-C chain.
Shape of f orbital is?
Any discussion of the shapes of electron orbitals is necessarily imprecise, because a given electron, regardless of which orbital it occupies, can at any moment be found at any distance from the nucleus and in any direction due to the uncertainty principle. However, the electron is much more likely to be found in certain regions of the atom than in others. Given this, a boundary surface can be drawn so that the electron has a high probability to be found anywhere within the surface, and all regions outside the surface have low values. The precise placement of the surface is arbitrary, but any reasonably compact determination must follow a pattern specified by the behavior of ψ2, the square of the wavefunction. This boundary surface is what is meant when the "shape" of an orbital is mentioned. Generally speaking, the number n determines the size and energy of the orbital: as n increases, the size of the orbital increases. Also in general terms, determines an orbital's shape, and its orientation. However, since some orbitals are described by equations in complex numbers, the shape sometimes depends on also. The single s-orbitals () are shaped like spheres. For n=1 the sphere is "solid" (it is most dense at the center and fades exponentially outwardly), but for n=2 or more, each single s-orbital is composed of spherically symmetric surfaces which are nested shells (i.e., the "wave-structure" is radial, following a sinusoidal radial component as well). The s-orbitals for all n numbers are the only orbitals with an anti-node (a region of high wave function density) at the center of the nucleus. All other orbitals (p, d, f, etc.) have angular momentum, and thus avoid the nucleus (having a wave node at the nucleus). The three p-orbitals have the form of two ellipsoids with a point of tangency at the nucleus (sometimes referred to as a dumbbell). The three p-orbitals in each shell are oriented at right angles to each other, as determined by their respective values of . Four of the five d-orbitals look similar, each with four pear-shaped balls, each ball tangent to two others, and the centers of all four lying in one plane, between a pair of axes. Three of these planes are the xy-, xz-, and yz-planes, and the fourth has the centres on the x and y axes. The fifth and final d-orbital consists of three regions of high probability density: a torus with two pear-shaped regions placed symmetrically on its z axis. There are seven f-orbitals, each with shapes more complex than those of the d-orbitals. For each s, p, d, f and g set of orbitals, the set of orbitals which composes it forms a spherically symmetrical set of shapes. For non-s orbitals, which have lobes, the lobes point in directions so as to fill space as symmetrically as possible for number of lobes which exist. For example, the three p orbitals have six lobes which are oriented to each of the six primary directions of 3-D space; for the 5 d orbitals, there are a total of 18 lobes, in which again six point in primary directions, and the 12 additional lobes fill the 12 gaps which exist between each pairs of these 6 primary axes. The shapes of atomic orbitals in one-electron atom are related to 3-dimensional spherical harmonics
What are three ways chemists help meet there demand for energy?
By painting their car and house with white paint; reflects most of the radiation back into the environment.By biking, walking or carpooling to work lot of energy can be saved.Chemists encourage others to use nonrenewable sources of energy judiciously and harness more and more renewable sources of energy.
How have chemists affected our world good?
The work of some chemists causes environment problems, while the work of others tries to fix problems.-apex
What kind of scientist studies structure of matter?
Principally chemists and physicists. However, the subject is also of interest to meteorologists (clouds have interesting structure, for instance), and biologists (the structures of DNA and other biologically significant chemicals are important), amongst others.

What do you call a group of clouds?
There does not appear to be an official collective term for a group of clouds. Some people call them a group of clouds. Others just use "a group of" and the type of cloud they see like cirrus clouds or cumulonimbus clouds.
Why does it rain more in some climates than others?
Clouds. Due to the moisture in the air of some areas, clouds form faster than others. And these clouds pick up rain. In some places, like Ireland, these countries are completely surrounded by water. Therefore, there are more clouds, and so more rain.
Why other clouds produce more rainfall than others?
their formation

Describe the work of a chemist?
Chemists search for and use new knowledge about chemicals. They develop processes that save energy and reduce pollution. Most chemists work in research and development. Others work in production and quality control in chemical manufacturing plants. Chemists specialize in areas such as analytical, organic, inorganic, physical and theoretical, macromolecular, medical, and materials chemistry.
Would chemists make weed killer?

An effective herbicide will have the least effect upon non-target plants and the most potent effects upon target vegetation.
Where can you buy hydrozole cream?
At your local chemist or depending on your location you may need a script from your doctor because some chemists are stricter than others.
Do snowflakes continue to grow after they drop out of the clouds?
yes they do they stick to others as they are falling but they dont grow after falling
