Retreat of Glaciers
Glaciers periodically retreat or advance, depending on the amount of snow accumulation
or evaporation or melt that occurs. This retreat and advance refers only to the position of
the terminus, or snout, of the glacier. Even as it retreats, the glacier still deforms and
moves downslope, like a conveyor belt.
5. Wildfires
A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in a natural area such as a forest,
grassland, or prairie. Wildfires are often caused by human activity or a natural
phenomenon such as lightning, and they can happen at any time or anywhere.
6. Coral Bleaching
When corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as temperature, light, or
nutrients, they expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to
turn completely white. The leading cause of coral bleaching is climate change.
2. Yes elderly people have noticed changes in climate now as to compare when they were
younger. As per my lola, typhoons today are much stronger. They have never experienced
typhoon signal number 4 or 5 when they were younger. She also said that summer now is too
hot. Before they can still manage to go out and enjoy summer even under the sun. Now she
said that the sun during noon time at summer can cause heat stroke. It’s so hot that it is no
longer advisable to go out on summer time.
Global Warming
Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's climate system
observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to
human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-
trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere.
Global Warming:
Increased electric bills
FORESTS
The increased loss of trees and other plant life means there are lesser
plants that use up carbon dioxide.
MELTING GLACIERS
Glaciers have been melting, resulting in a rise in sea levels by 10 to 20
cm during the 20th century.
CORAL BLEACHING
Plant and animal life in the oceans remain in danger that result in the
death of coral animals.
FLOODS
Warmer temperatures cause more evaporation of seawater, this could
result in more precipitation, and may lead to flooding.
DROUGHT, HEAT WAVES, AND WILDFIRES
LOSES IN AGRICULTURE
Less food production for humans and Animals
Starvation
Warmer Winters
Less deaths due to extreme cold
CHANGE OF ECOSYSTEMS
MITIGATION
Using less energy by turning off lights, television, or computer, when
you are not using them;
ADAPTATION
Adaptation entails preparing for the impact of climate change to reduce
its negative impacts and to take advantage of potential new
opportunities.

What is Organic Chemistry?
The development of organic chemistry brought about the advancement in the pharmaceutical
industry.
1853,Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) - was first synthesized and manufactured by Bayer. It helped
in the prevention and cure of diseases and even extension of life.
Aspirin is used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain from conditions such as muscle
aches, toothaches, common cold, and headaches. It may also be used to reduce pain and swelling
in conditions such as arthritis.
This field of chemistry has been around even during the early Romans, Egyptians, and
Phoenicians when they used dyes extracted from plants and animals.

Organic chemistry has significantly contributed in the development of the petroleum industry.
Petroleum is a mixture of many organic compounds that have been formed as a result of the
decay of living organisms and millions of years of geological stresses.
Petroleum - "oil"(oleum) from rocks (petra).
- fossil fuel

MATTER
Atoms of most of the elements on Earth are in combination with other atoms. Only the atoms of
the noble gases do not typically combine with other atoms. The chemical xombination of atoms
of two or more kinds of elements form compounds.
UNIT II
Models that account for the distinctive properties of metals.
The valence electrons (electrons in the highest/outermost shell) of the metal atoms.
Metallic bonding - the array is held together by the strong attraction between the positive cations
and negative electrons.
Properties of Metal
Their high densities indicate that the atoms are closely packed.
It has high tensile strength, used in the construction of bridges and building.
OCTET RULE
Gilbert Lewis
"Generally, atoms of the representative elements tend to acquire an outer orbital with eight
electrons through chemical reaction."
Valence Electrons
The number of electrons in the orbital of the outermost shell(valence shell) usually determines
the chemical properties of an atom.
The electrons that are in the inner orbitals do not participate in chemical bonds.
They have very high ionization energy values and, if it were possible to measure their electron
affinities, these would be very high and positive.
These properties are attributed to their stable electronic structure, consisting of completely filled
s and p orbitals in their valence shell.
Lewis structure
Electron dot structure
The representation in which the symbol of the element is surrounded by it's valence electrons
(represented by dots)
Ionic Bond
Reaction of sodium - soft reactive metal
Monatomic ions - contain only one atom which has either a positive or a negative charge.
Polyatomic ions - have two or more atoms that are either positively or negatively charged. The
charged carried is the sum of the charges of all the atoms in the ion.
CATIONS
The name of a cation is the same as the name of the element. The representative elements usually
form only one cation. However, many transition elements and a few metals from groups 13 to 15
form two or moredifferent cations.
CATIONS
Lower charge - "ous" suffix
Higher charge - "ic" suffix
copper (I) - has the common name cuprous
copper (II) – cupric
ANIONS
Writing Formula:
iron (II) - oxide
cation Fe followed by O = FeO
2+
2-
calcium nitrate - Ca(No )

Writing formulas when name is given:
Write the formula of the cation first, followed by the formula of the anion.
The number of atoms that combine to form a covalent molecule is such that each atom would
attain eight electrons in its valence shells.
The octet rule can be applied in the formation of simple covalent molecular compounds, and is
very useful in predicting the formula of simple binary(composed of two elements) covalent
molecular compounds.
"Generally, atoms of the representative elements tend to acquire an outer orbital with eight
electrons through chemical reaction."

LESSON 28
How are Volcanoes Classified?
Volcano - an opening or vent in a planet's crust from which molten rock, ash, and gases escape
from below.
Extinct - haven't erupted again because their supply of magma has depleted.
Shield Volcano
A shield volcano is almost flat and broad like a warrior's shield .
Its magma has a lower percentage of silica, its lava flows easily and reaches a great distance
from the crater.
Often form in groups near a large volcano and erupt only once.
Based on Location
How are Volcanoes Classified?
Continental Volcanoes
A volcanic arc is a chain of volcanoes, hundreds to thousands of miles long, that forms above
a subduction zone. An island volcanic arc forms in an ocean basin via ocean-ocean subduction.
Based on Location
Submarine Volcanoes
Underwater vents or fissures in the Earth's surface from which magma can erupt. Many
submarine volcanoes are located near areas of tectonic plate formation, known as mid-ocean
ridges.
Hazards of Volcanic Eruptions
Volcanic Ash interferes with air travel; pilots are advised to avoid it might be sucked into the jet
engines.
global temperatures
Lava - molten (melted) rock when it flows out of a volcano or volcanic vent.
Abrasive
Acidic
Odorous
This can cause:
Lung damage
Fire
Earthquake
Flashflood
Landslide
What Substances Are Formed by Carbon?
The numerous compounds of carbon made it more convenient to group them according to
their similarities in structure and properties.
HYDROCARBONS
Hydrocarbons are the simplest and most commonly encountered class of organic
compounds.
These are organic compounds that contain carbon and Hydrogen only.
Alkane (paraffins) - hydrocarbon whose carbon atoms are linked by a single bond.
ALKANE - content sample products:
HYDROCARBONS
ALKENE - content products:
HYDROCARBONS
Alkene and Alkyne - hydrocarbon whose carbon atoms are linked by at least one double
bond or triple bond.
Alkenes (olefins) - contain less than the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms per
carbon atom, they are said to be unsaturated.
HYDROCARBONS
ALKENE - content products:
HYDROCARBONS
ALKYNE-content products:
HYDROCARBONS
Methane and ethane - "cleaner fuels" they produce less carbon dioxide during combustion.
- one of the major sources of natural gas; it generates 40% of Luzon's electricity
requirement.
Saturated hydrocarbons - have all carbon atoms linked by single bonds.
Simplest alkene is ethene - a plant hormone that plays important roles in seed germination and
ripening of fruits.
Propane and Butane - are gaseous hydrocarbons that are major components of liquified
petroleum gas (LPG)
Examples:
Simplest alkyne is acetylene or ethyne - a highly reactive molecule used in oxyacetylene torches.
Benzene is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon. It is a compound of six carbons joined together to
form a ring.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Propane and butane which are components of LPG have low boiling points. They are stored in
strong metal containers with narrow mouths which are tightly sealed to avoid leaks that can
cause unwanted ignition.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES - boiling and melting point are important in determining the usage
and proper handling of organic compounds.

VISCOSITY
Another physical property of organic compounds that is very much related to molecular
structure.
Aggregates occur in large molecules and also in smaller molecules that have high intermolecular
attraction.
INTERMOLECULAR ATTRACTION
The molecules of organic compounds can interact with with each other through weak and strong
attractive forces depending on their molecular functions.
"The larger the molecule, the more attraction can occur and the stronger the intermolecular
attraction."
ISOMERISM
The ability of carbon to form to form a vast number of organic compounds makes it highly
probable that several organic compounds may have the same molecular but different structural
formula.
