2. Key word(s) in each paragraph 5. Sentence difficulties (1) The first and most important principle is that chemical substances are made up of molecules in which atoms of various elements are linked in well-defined ways. (2) That is, as the elements increase in their atomic number, every so often an(d) element appears that (it) is similar in its properties to one that has occurred earlier in the table. (3) For example, after lithium, with three protons in the nucleus, come other elements whose properties are decreasingly like those of lithium until suddenly sodium appears, with nucleus containing 11 protons. Problem Nowadays gold is in extensive use not only for jewelry but also in various electric and electronic devices. For example, about 0.2-kg gold is contained per 1 ton of mobile phones. This amount is higher than the content in gold ore itself. Consequently, effective and economical recovery processes of gold should be urgently developed for its reuse and recycling in a sustainable society in the near future. The majorities of metal wastes containing valuable metals such as copper are finally collected at nonferrous metal smelters for copper and nickel where they are treated together with concentrates of these nonferrous metals. UNIT TWO The Atomic Theory and The Periodic Table /elementflashcards/index.html /reading/index.html 2 The basic postulates of Daltons theory (1) Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. (2) All atoms of a given element are identical. (3) Atoms of different element have different properties (including different masses) (4) Atoms of an element are not changed into different types of atoms by chemical reactions; atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. (5) Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine. (6) In a given compound, the relative number and kind of atoms are constant. Many elements show very strong similarities
