The Role of Chemistry Teacher in the Development of Science Education in Nigeria

AbstractThis work titled The Role of Chemistry Teacher in the Development of Science Education in Nigeria is specifically designed to find out and discuss the various ways science education has been lagging in Nigeria and how chemistry education can help to remedy the situation. In the course of this, some issues were discussed  such as the concept of chemistry, chemistry education, science education, objectives of chemistry education, problems facing science education in Nigeria and way...

PRINCIPLES OF CARBON-U (C-11) RADIO-CHEMISTRY

ABSTRACTCarbon –U (C-11) radiotracers are widely used for the early diagnosis of cancer, monitoring therapeutic response to cancer treatment and pharmacokinetic investigations of anticancer drugs. PET imagining permits non-invasive monitoring of metabolic processes and molecular targets, while carbon-II radiotracers allow a “hot-for cold” substitution of biological active molecules. Advance in organic synthetic chemistry and radiochemistry as well as improved automated techniques for ra...

Chemical composition and biological activity of Allium sativum essential oils against Callosobruchus maculatus

ABSTRACTIn order to search for alternative control methods to synthetic pesticides, the potential of essentialoils from Allium sativum (L.) (Alliaceae); was evaluated as fumigants against Callosobruchus maculatus (fab.)(Coleoptera: Bruchidae), a pest that attacks pulses during storage. Chickpea seeds were infested with 10 pairsof newly emerged weevils and, fumigated with 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4μl of essential oils of garlic/l of air. The essentialoils of garlic were analyzed by GC-MS. The major com...

CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF METALS/ALLOYS WITH AND WITHOUT COATING AT HIGH TEMPERATURE (200 – 1000OC) AND UNDER MARINE ENVIRONMENT

INTRODUCTIONCorrosion is the deterioration a material undergoes as a result of its interaction with its surroundings. Although this definition is applicable to any type of material, it is usually reserved for metallic alloys. Of the 105 known chemical elements, approximately eighty are metals , and about half of these can be alloyed with other metals, giving rise to more than 40,000 different alloys. Each of the alloys will have different physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, but all...
