Q Article segment 1-2 Typically I like to give a lot of examples during lecture about how this course is used in both your daily lives as well as within the medical field (which most of you are going into). I assign articles throughout the quarter to read as additional examples of this! There is no right or wrong answer, this is just an opportunity for you to see some interesting ways that chemistry is used around you! Be sure to complete both parts of the assignment to receive full credit. To complete the Article submission, please do the following: 1. Open and read Article by clicking the link provided • Open/read:Article 1-2 Atoms and Electronic Structure.pdf 2. Reply below to the discussion by clicking the Reply arrow, entering in your Reply and clicking the blue Post Reply button. Your grade is based on your reflection of the article. (the document says include both a summary/reflection, you will only need to include the reflection aspect). • For your assignment, be sure to include o personal reflection of article (2-3 sentences) 3. You are encouraged (although not a part of your grade) to reply to other students replies from the class! Maybe someone has a similar thought to yours or similar experience that you can chat about :) Chemistry bringing people together-what a wonderful thing!

It was interesting to find out that radiation therapy is also linked with an increase in some other cancers later in life.
