		Environmental chemistry is an interdisciplinary science that includes atmospheric, aquatic and soil chemistry, as well as heavily relying on analytical chemistry and being related to environmental and other areas of science.
		Environmental chemists draw on a range of concepts from chemistry and various environmental sciences to assist in their study of what is happening to a chemical species in the environment.
		Environmental chemistry is used by the Environment Agency (in England and Wales), the Environmental Protection Agency (in the United States), and other environmental agencies and research bodies around the world to detect and identify the nature and source of pollutants.

		An alkane in organic chemistry is a type of hydrocarbon in which the molecule has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms and so has no double bonds (they are saturated).
		The thermal cracking process follows a homolytic mechanism, that is, bonds break symmetrically and thus pairs of free radicals are formed.
		The catalytic cracking process involves the presence of acid catalysts (usually solid acids such as silica-alumina and zeolites) which promote a heterolytic (asymmetric) breakage of bonds yielding pairs of ions of opposite charges, usually a carbocation and the very unstable hydride anion.

	TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ALUMINUM WELDING (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This form of cracking in aluminum is typically caused by a combination of metallurgical weaknesses of the weld metal as it solidifies with transverse stress applied across the weld.
		The method of ensuring the avoidance of the critical chemistry range is based on the understanding of the relative crack sensitivity curves as seen in Fig 2.

		Alkenes are obtained by the cracking of alkanes.
		Cracking is the breaking up of alkanes into smaller alkanes and alkenes either by heat alone (thermal cracking) where the products are unpredictable, or by heat and a catalyst (catalytic cracking) where the products are more predictable.
		Ethene is the major chemical feedstock and is obtained by the thermal cracking of a) the naphtha fraction of crude oil and b) ethane from the gas fraction ('natural gas liquids').

	Alkylation - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Most crude oils contain only 10 to 40 percent of their hydrocarbon constituents in the gasoline range, so refineries use cracking processes, which convert high molecular weight hydrocarbons into smaller and more volatile compounds.
		Combining cracking, polymerization, and alkylation can result in a gasoline yield representing 70 percent of the starting crude oil.
		More advanced processes, such as cyclization of paraffins and dehydrogenation of naphthenes to form aromatic hydrocarbons in a catalytic reformer, have also been developed to increase the octane rating of gasoline.

		The study advice and sample questions in this book outline the basic areas of chemistry the exam covers and give the test's format, but are very misleading when it comes to the exam's level of difficulty.
