 How To Teach Colors To Your Infant

Baby toys often come in bright colors because infants are drawn to these colors.
From the moment your baby is born, he is absorbing the world around him. Everything is new and exciting. He will learn more in his first year than at any other time in his life. Therefore, you should strive to expose him to as much information as you can during that period to maximize the opportunity. It may seem silly to teach an infant about colors since he cannot verbalize his understanding, but creating a familiarity with colors will help him later in life.

Instructions


  • Expose your child to colors as often as possible. According to Babycenter, infants can see in color at the time of birth but have difficulty telling the difference between closely related colors. This is why many infant toys come in white, black and red. The contrast is easier for young infants to see. However, exposing them to various colors is still important.
  • Name colors as you encounter them in your daily activities. Infants learn through repetition and hearing those around them speak. Point out the green grass, blue sky, orange ball and purple grapes. The more you say the color names, the more likely your infant will absorb the words themselves and make the connection between the word and the color.
  • Play games that use color words. Infants and other toddlers learn a lot through their play. Roll colored balls back and forth with your infant, naming the color of the ball as you roll it.
  • Read books to your infant that offer a color theme or have colorful pictures. Point out objects in the book and tell your infant what color each object is. For instance, point to a fire truck and say "red truck" or the sun and say "yellow sun."

What Is Melting Points

Most organic compounds have melting points below 200 ºC. Some decompose before melting, a few sublime, but a majority undergo repeated melting and crystallization without any change in molecular structure. When a pure crystalline compound is heated, or a liquid cooled, the change in sample temperature with time is roughly uniform. However, if the solid melts, or the liquid freezes, a discontinuity occurs and the temperature of the sample remains constant until the phase change is complete. This behavior is shown in the diagram on the right, with the green segment representing the solid phase, light blue the liquid, and red the temperature invariant liquid/solid equilibrium. For a given compound, this temperature represents its melting point (or freezing point), and is a reproducible constant as long as the external pressure does not change. The length of the horizontal portion depends on the size of the sample, since a quantity of heat proportional to the heat of fusion must be...

What Is Atomic And Molecular Orbitals

A more detailed model of covalent bonding requires a consideration of valence shell atomic orbitals. For second period elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, these orbitals have been designated 2 s , 2p x , 2p y   & 2p z . The spatial distribution of electrons occupying each of these orbitals is shown in the diagram below.   Very nice displays of orbitals may be found at the following sites: J. Gutow, Univ. Wisconsin Oshkosh R. Spinney, Ohio State  M. Winter, Sheffield University The valence shell electron configuration of carbon is 2 s 2 , 2p x 1 , 2p y 1  & 2p z 0 . If this were the configuration used in covalent bonding, carbon would only be able to form two bonds. In this case, the valence shell would have six electrons- two shy of an octet. However, the tetrahedral structures of methane and carbon tetrachloride demonstrate that carbon can form four equivalent bonds, leading to the desired octet. In order to explain this covalent bonding,...

Uses OF Alkynes In Nature And Medicine

-
Alkynes in nature and medicine According to Ferdinand Bohlmann, the first naturally occurring acetylenic compound, dehydromatricaria ester, was isolated from an Artemisia  species in 1826 . Polyynes, a subset of this class of natural products, have been isolated from a wide variety of plant species, cultures of higher fungi, bacteria, marine sponges, and corals.  Some acids like  tariric acid  contains an alkyne group. Diynes and triynes, species with the linkage RC ≡ C-C ≡ CR' and RC ≡ C-C ≡ C-C ≡ CR' respectively, occur in certain plants ( Ichthyothere , Chrysanthemum ,  Cicuta ,  Oenanthe  and other members of the  Asteraceae  and  Apiaceae  families).  Some examples are  cicutoxin , oenanthotoxin ,  falcarinol  and  carotatoxin . These compounds are highly bioactive, e.g. as  nematocides .  1-Phenylhepta-1,3,5-triyne is illustrative of a naturally occurring triyne. Alkynes occ...
