Proline

FORMULA : Not Available MOLECULAR WEIGHT : 115.13 amu BOILING POINT: not available MELTING POINT : Not Available STRUCTURE: Amino AcidUSES: Non-essential nutrionally for mammals and fowls. It is widespread in protiens especially in collagen, and gelatain, it's degradatin product, yield about %15


Collagen

AMINO ACIDS: 114 STRUCTURE : 3 ribbons 0 helicies DESCRIPTION AND USES: Collagen has an abundance of uses. Collagen in Greek means glue, this goes along with the way collagen is used in the medical industry. Collagen is considered a biomaterial and a biocampatibility because of it's ability to stand within the body without malfunctioning and disrupting it's original purpose. Collagen is present in the body in bones, skin, tendons, cartilage and blood vessels. It's used to inject into the skin for plumpness, wrinkle reduction and artificl skin etc. There are 20 known collagens and they have been used for 40 years. There is so much collagen it tends to be cheap in the medical world. Collagen is a great substance with futurutistic uses as well, for example artificial tendons, and blood vessels nerve regeneration, and engineering of cartilage of skin, bone, and organs. Collagen has been found to be very useful.

GRAPHITE

FORMULA: C arranged specially MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 12.01 amu BOILING POINT: 4,200 degrees celsius STRUCTURE : Trigonal USES &DESCRIPTION: Black lustrous substance that easily crumbles or flakes. It conducts electricity and retains heat. Graphite is composed entirely of planes of trigonal carbon atoms joined in a honeycombed pattern. These planes are arranged in sheets to form three diminsional crystals. The layers distance from eachother and the bonds with three neighboring carbons leaves electrons free to move in the layers allowing electricity to be conducted. One of the main uses of graphite is as a lubricant. The lead in pencils is actualy graphite it also is used as a heat resistant material; as an electrical conductor and elctrode material; and in nuclear reactors as a neutron moderator.

Bromine Pentafluoride

FORMULA : BrF5 MOLECULAR WEIGHT : 174.9 amu BOILING POINT : 40.5 degrees celsius MELTING POINT : -61.3 degrees celsius STRUCTURE : Square Pyramidal DENSITY : 2.66 g/v USES & DESCRIPTION: Is fluorinating agent, dissolves in hot water and cold water evaporation rate is -1 (don't ask us). Single Bonded,with unshared valence electrons
