  2. List of earliest tools - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earliest_tools

    Many such sites have hominin bones, teeth, or footprints, but unless they also include evidence for tools or tool use, they are omitted here. This list excludes tools and tool use attributed to non-hominin species. See Tool use by non-humans. Since there are far too many hominin tool sites to list on a single page, this page attempts to list ...

  3. History of molecular theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_molecular_theory

    Couper was the first to use lines between atoms, in conjunction with the older method of using brackets, to represent bonds, and also postulated straight chains of atoms as the structures of some molecules, ring-shaped molecules of others, such as in tartaric acid and cyanuric acid. [12]

  4. History of technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_technology

    The history of technology is the history of the invention of tools and techniques by humans. Technology includes methods ranging from simple stone tools to the complex genetic engineering and information technology that has emerged since the 1980s.

  5. Water splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_splitting

    In thermolysis, water molecules split into hydrogen and oxygen. For example, at 2,200 °C (2,470 K; 3,990 °F) about three percent of all H 2 O are dissociated into various combinations of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, mostly H, H 2, O, O 2, and OH. Other reaction products like H 2 O 2 or HO 2 remain minor. At the very high temperature of 3,000 ...

  6. Water dimer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_dimer

    The first theoretical study of the water dimer was an ab initio calculation published in 1968 by Morokuma and Pedersen. [10] Since then, the water dimer has been the focus of sustained interest by theoretical chemists concerned with hydrogen bonding—a search of the CAS database up to 2006 returns over 1100 related references (73 of them in 2005).

    Double and triple bonds use two longer flexible bonds which restrict rotation and support conventional cis/trans stereochemistry. Beever's ball and stick model of ruby (Cr-doped corundum) made with acrylic balls and stainless steel rods. However, most molecules require holes at other angles and specialist companies manufacture kits and bespoke ...

    Stone tool use – early human (hominid) use of stone tool technology, such as the hand axe, was similar to that of primates, which is found to be limited to the intelligence levels of modern children aged 3 to 5 years. Ancestors of homo sapiens (modern man) used stone tools as follows: Homo habilis ("handy man") – first "homo" species.

  9. Paper chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_chromatography

    Here paper is used to support the stationary phase, water. Polar water molecules are held inside the void space of the cellulose network of the host paper. The difference between TLC and paper chromatography is that the stationary phase in TLC is a layer of adsorbent (usually silica gel , or aluminium oxide ), and the stationary phase in paper ...
