'''1. When and where was the [[Industrial Revolution]]?'''  It started in the early 1700s, in [[England]], and developed fully by 1760, but some historians credit the iron industry in China under the Song dynasty and the textile industry in India as the precursors of the [[Industrial Revolution]].

• Last but not least, there was “economic [[imperialism]]”, where an outside influence controls a private business in another country.

'''6. Describe an aspect of Africa in the 1800s, such as an example of [[imperialism]].'''  An example of imperialism in Africa was by the King Leopold II of Belgium, where he exploited Africa for rubber, put large plantations, and made natives work for unreasonably low wages.  On top of all of this, they renamed this region the Belgian Congo.

'''H6. Discuss any aspect of the lecture.'''  Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian chemist who put together the periodic table which is still used today.  He not only put it together, but he accounted for gaps in which elements that were not discovered yet would go, he went even further when he predicted the properties of these elements using the periodic law.  An example of this was Mendeleev’s new element, ekaaluminum (Ea), which is what we know as [[gallium]] (Ga) today:  his predicted atomic mass was 69, the actual mass is 69.7.  His predicted density was 6.0 g/cm³, the actual density is 5.9 g/cm³.  I am amazed at the accuracy of these predictions, and in honor of his contributions, they named an element after him: Mendelevium (Md).
