Monitoring The Hydrocarbon Utilizing Bacteria in Crude Oil Remediation Using Bio-Stimulant of Mint Leaf (Mentha Piperita)By Joy Chukwuemeka Peter Ukpaka, Abraham Peter Ukpaka, Victor Chukwuemeka Ukpaka, Ukpaka Chukwuemeka Peter
Abstract: Conceptual monitoring of hydrocarbon utilization bacteria on crude oil remediation using bio-stimulant of mint leaf (Mentha piperita) was investigated. The bio-stimulant nutrient was determined by considering the available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria presence in both room and sun-dried samples of the remediant used. The mint leaf (Mentha piperita) was processed to obtain the powder form (nano particle size) of the bio-stimulant and the microbes isolated and identified …

Investigative Study of Relationship of Chemical Characteristics of Group V Elements and Electron StructureBy Ukpaka Chukwuemeka Peter, Joy Chukwuemeka Peter Ukpaka, Victor Chukwuemeka Ukpaka, Abraham Peter Ukpaka
Abstract: Understanding the chemical properties of Group V elements through their electron configurations deepens our comprehension of periodic trends. Transitioning from nitrogen to bismuth, we observe a shift from non-metals to metalloids and then to metals, a change driven by the progression of electron shell and orbital filling. This insight is crucial for forecasting and elucidating the varied chemical behaviors and uses of Group V elements, thereby aiding developments in chemistry …

Overview of the Relationship of Chemical Behavior to Electron Structure of Group VII Elements in the Periodic TableBy Ukpaka Chukwuemeka Peter, Joy Chukwuemeka Peter Ukpaka, Victor Chukwuemeka Ukpaka, Abraham Peter Ukpaka
Abstract: This article examines the intriguing relationship between the chemical properties and electron configurations of Group VII elements, known as halogens: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At), which are located in the periodic table. These elements possess a common electron arrangement characterized by seven electrons in their outermost energy level. This shared arrangement is fundamental to their unique reactivity patterns. As one moves down the group, …

Approach to Examine the Effect of Atomic Number on Single – Electron System of Group III ElementsBy Ukpaka C.P., Abraham Peter Ukpaka, Victor Chukwuemeka Ukpaka
Abstract: This study investigates the ionization energy, kinetic energy, and mass relationships among Group III elements (Boron, Aluminum, Gallium, Indium, and Thallium) to provide a comprehensive understanding of their atomic and physical properties. A detailed analysis of ionization energy trends reveals that Boron exhibits the highest ionization energy, while Thallium has the lowest, consistent with periodic trends influenced by increasing atomic radius and electron shielding. Gallium deviates slightly from this trend …
