Introduction to Chemistry - Chapter 13

Introduction to Chemistry - Chapter 13In Chemistry, Chapter 13 is called the 'Chapter on Chemical Interactions'. It contains the first five laws of chemical reactions. This law states that all reactions in which one compound chemically interacts with another compound or molecule are characterized by a change in one or more properties of that molecule.Number one state of matter is the solid. This state has an amorphous, liquid or gas in between its layers. The chemical bonds in this state can be broken by heat, light, or mechanical forces. These processes are all reversible. A liquid can be heated and it will expand or become a gas.Number two states of matter is the solid and its surroundings. The substance's bonds can be broken in several ways. It can be melted or cut with force or heat. It can be cut with heat only or by heat and mechanical force. There are no bonds in this state.Number three states of matter is the liquid. At this point, it is frozen or solidified. At this point th e bonds of the molecules have broken. A molecule may come into contact with another molecule which is not a molecule of the same element. These molecules can bond to each other resulting in new molecules and new bonds.The fourth state of matter is the gas. At this point the bonds of the molecules have broken. It can't exist without another molecule. The process is very similar to that of the liquid. This state can't exist without another state of matter.The fifth state of matter is the liquid and its surroundings. This state is completely solid. At this point the bonds of the molecules have not broken. The bonds can be broken by mechanical force or heat.The law of reaction states that this process is irreversible. This state can't exist without another state of matter.There are many different states of matter. There are substances that are solid and gases which are fluid. There are different elements that exist in solids, liquids, and gases. This chapter gives us the six laws of che mical reactions.

Traveling 101 Surviving long haul flights

Traveling 101 Surviving long haul flights If someone told you that they enjoyed long haul flights, you’d probably do a double-take. That’s because there’s nothing much to enjoy about being on a plane for 10+ hours. It’s tough to stretch out your legs and get comfortable enough to sleep, the food isn’t anything to write home about, and you can’t account for who you’ll be sitting next to. But for teachers heading to teach overseas this New Year, we’ve compiled a list of ways to make long haul flights a little more bearable. A good seat should be your top priority. If you’re on a 10+ hour flight, it’s likely that you’re going to need to use the washroom at least once, so a good seat means an aisle seat. Believe us, the novelty of looking out the window and seeing the ocean will wear off just as soon as you have to ask your neighbor to move for a second time. Even better than just an average aisle seat, though, is an aisle seat with no one beside you. If you’re traveling alone, pick a seat in the window row if there’s a three-seat configuration. Make sure to pick a row where the window seat is already booked. Being crammed between two strangers is no one’s cup of tea. These middle seats are likely to be the last booked, so you might be lucky enough to get an empty seat between you and the person sitting in the window seat. Watch what you eat. A couple of days before you leave, try to make sure you’re eating healthy. You’ll feel pretty uncomfortable sitting on a long flight if you’ve stuffed yourself with junk food. Our bodies don’t digest fatty foods and foods filled with sodium very well on a good day, so trying to digest these kinds of food at 30,000 ft in the air is even tougher. But beyond digestion, we also have to worry about blood circulation while flying. Sitting with very little movement for many hours can affect blood flow which can cause swollen feet -- another uncomfortable in-flight experience. Lean toward healthier choices: packages of nuts, water instead of carbonated drinks or alcohol, and vegetables. Make a move. Sitting for a long time isn’t good for your body. Make sure you take regular breaks to get up and walk around or do some exercise in-flight. CNN even put out an in-flight yoga guide. Give yourself the best chance at some sleep. First and foremost: avoid alcohol. Some travelers make the mistake of using alcohol as a sleep aid, but it’s actually a depressant and can also really dehydrate you. If you’re looking for something to help you sleep, try a more natural alternative like melatonin tablets or valerian tea. If there’s an in-flight comfort package available, invest in it. Otherwise, make your own! Pack a sleep mask, some ear plugs, and even a small blanket if possible. These small things can go a long way when it comes to trying to get some sleep. Pack your own entertainment. This is especially crucial when in-flight movies are pre-picked and shown to all passengers. It’s good to have some distractions that will keep you happy. Bring your favourite book or magazine, stock your iTunes library with a couple of movies or a TV series you’ve been meaning to watch, bring a journal and list all the places you’d like to visit once you arrive -- just think ahead about what you’ll do if the in-flight movies are a drag. We know that long flights are no one’s favorite, but if you follow these tips, you can minimize some of the travel stress you’ll experience. Especially if you’re heading to work within the first few days of landing, you’ll want to make sure your flight is the best that it can be. What have you done in the past to make long haul flights more bearable? Share with us below in the comments!

Not Sure Which Foreign Language to Learn Let Us Help You Decide!

Not Sure Which Foreign Language to Learn Let Us Help You Decide! Which Foreign Language to Learn We all have a different reason to learn a foreign language.Maybe its for love.Perhaps youre moving to a new country.It could be that you just really need to study for that test.If any of these are the case, you probably know which language you want to learn. But what if youre just infected with the bug? You want to learn  something, but you dont know what!Here are some ideas to get those linguistic juices flowing. Which Foreign Language to LearnMany of the languages below are available on FluentU, which is great for picky learners as you can easily switch between languages with no fuss (and have your progress saved for each language).FluentU makes it possible to learn languages from music videos, commercials, news, inspiring talks and more.With FluentU, you hear languages in real-world contextsâ€"the way that native speakers actually use them.

However, it can be extra motivating if you can see quick progress, especially if this is your first time learning a foreign language.The key point is to pick something thats not too dissimilar from your native language. Here are a couple of examples if your native language is English.SpanishThe language of Cervantes is an extremely popular one. If you went to school in the U.S., you probably sat through years of lessons on thisâ€"although perhaps you dont remember a word!This popularity is one of the reasons why Spanish is such a great choice for a language which isnt too impossible to pick up. Even if you didnt take Spanish lessons in school, it isnt hard to find someone nearby who speaks the second most spoken tongue on the planet. This will make it a whole lot easier to practice.Aside from access to a huge pool of  hispanohablantes  (Spanish s peakers), the language itself lends itself to fast learning. Unlike the irregularity of English phonology and orthography, Spanish has a very straightforward pronunciation system. Depending on your accent, English has between 14 and 21 vowel sounds, yet Spanish has only five. Consonants are usually pronounced the same in every word, and when theres a change, theres always a logical rule to help you know how to say it.Stress patterns are consistent, and whenever theyre changed theres a written accent mark to show you the way. This means when you see a word written in Spanishâ€"no matter how complexâ€"you can always work out how to say it by breaking it down into its constituent parts.Meanwhile, thanks to the Latin roots of Spanish, theres a wealth of vocabulary you already have at your fingertips. Nation =  nación, music =  música, flower =  flor, and so onâ€"not to mention the numerous English loan words in Spanish (email, catering, fútbol).Thats not to say that Spanish is withou t its challenges. A lot of the grammar is very different from Englishâ€"it took me a long time to get the hang of putting object pronouns before the verb!â€"and Spanish learners have to deal with the infamous subjunctive. However, these challenges can be overcome in a very satisfying way, and once youve gotten there, youll be ordering  tapas like a pro.If you fancy a language thats related to Spanish, have a go at Italian, Portuguese or French. All are linguistically very similar and have numerous speakers around the world.GermanIf youre looking to move away from the Romance languages, German should be your first stop. Despite having a huge amount of Latin influence, English is actually a Germanic language. The vocabulary is therefore quite similar and there are a number of cognates. Pronunciation  is also quite straightforward.Consider these sentences:Das ist gut. Ich kann tanzen.Even if you cant guess straight away, it wont surprise you to learn that these sentences mean That is g ood and I can dance. This is just the beginning.Due to the history of English, which involved Germanic Anglo-Saxons working the land while being mostly separated from the French-speaking aristocrats, lots of simple language has kept its Germanic roots.This includes religious terminology (God =  Gott, church =  Kirche), language for animals  (cow =  Kuh, cat =  Katze) and words for family members (father, mother, brother and sister are  Vater, Mutter, Bruder und Schwester).Again, German also has its challenges. Due to the German way of creating compound words, much of its vocabulary can be intimidating. It also results in some curiosities, such as the triple F in  Schifffahrt. (This means boat travel and is a compound of the words  Schiff and  Fahrtâ€"ship and journey.)Another challenge is that German, like Latin, has numerous grammatical cases to get your head around, as well as three genders to learn. Not to mention the fact that many Germans speak fantastic English, and it can be hard to persuade them to let you practice!Similar languages include Dutch and Afrikaans.If you want to travel.One popular reason for learning foreign languages is to enable us to travel. But what if you dont have a specific location in mind?English and Spanish remain the best languages for travel due to their near-ubiquity. Nevertheless, there are a few others we can usefully add to the armory.Mandarin ChineseThe language with the biggest proportion of native speakers in the world, Mandarin Chinese is notorious in the anglophone world for its complexity and difficulty.Dont let that put you off! Mandarin opens up China and the rest of Asia as a travel destination, and is spoken by one in six people in the world. Whats more, its not as difficult as people would have you believe.Okay, the writing system is tough; instead of having an alphabet, there are approximately 50,000 different characters to deal with. But in fact, an educated Chinese person will only know around 8,000, and you p robably only need 2,000 to be able to read well. Moreover, the grammar of Mandarin is pleasingly straightforward.Take this example:???????(Hao canting zài nali?) â€"  Where is a good restaurant?Break this down and its fascinating to see how it comes together.? (hao) â€"  good? (can) â€"  meal?  (ting) â€"  hall??? (zài nali)  â€" where is it?The focal noun of the sentence (in this case, the restaurant or good meal hall) comes first, with the modifiers coming afterwards. Each character has a sound and a different meaning, and they combine beautifully.The phonology is trickyâ€"not only do you have to get your head around all the different vowel and consonant sounds, but you also need to get the infamous tones correct. There are four different ones to masterâ€"although this is fewer than in Cantonese!Cantonese is similar, however, and uses the same scriptâ€"well, sort of. To make things a bit more interesting, there are traditional and simplified characters, and Cantonese is written in traditional characters in Hong Kong, whereas mainland China uses simplified characters.Meanwhile, various Chinese characters found their way into Japanese as  kanji, so learning Mandarin is a great jumping-off point for other Asian languages.RussianLearning Russian means another new alphabet to pick up, but its still a very useful tongue. Even if Russia isnt your desired destination, much of ex-Soviet Eastern Europe still teaches Russian as a second language in schools, so mastering the language will open up a new part of the world.Again, the main challenge is obvious: you have to learn the Cyrillic alphabet. The good news is that, unlike Chinese languages, there are only 33 characters to learn rather than thousands. Once youve got them, youve got them.Russian is the most widely spoken of the Slavic language family. Once you master Russian, you have access to Ukrainian, Polish and a variety of other eastern European languages.If you want to workA foreign language or two looks gre at on your resume, and its no wonder that many language learners are seeking to enhance their employment prospects. Employers prize both the hard work and intellect required to learn a language, and value the opportunity to make the most of those skills to further their business.Here are a couple of languages you might want to consider if this is your motivation.FrenchIn both Europe and North America, French is a powerful languageâ€"think Quebec and the EUâ€"and a staple of language education. And lets not forget all of the Francophone areas in Africa and elsewhere in the world.Its also fair to say that, unlike native speakers of other Romance languages, French speakers are often reluctant to engage in English (or at least they have that reputation, although thats disputed). This makes a mastery of the language of Proust a valuable assetâ€"and also means its very easy to find people to practice with!Like Spanish, as mentioned above, French is part of the family that includes a host of other European languages, and those high school Spanish lessons will come in handy when it comes to grammar and vocab! Chances are youve heard French out and about as well, not to mention the loanwords and phrases we have taken (vis-a-vis,  déjà vu,  voilà). Enjoy being able to tell all your friends the meanings of all those fancy words on the menu!The biggest challenge, for me, is pronunciation. While French phonology is fairly regular, there are numerous vowel combinations, often involving silent consonants. This can make it very difficult to differentiate between words. Take for example these five homophones:Vers  (towards)Vers  (verse)Ver  (worm)Verre  (glass)Vert  (green)As an English speaker, its not my place to criticize difficult pronunciation. Nevertheless, this is tough!ArabicGo to Morocco and alongside French you will hear Arabic, this most fascinating of languages. Of course, its not limited to Marrakeshâ€"in fact, Arabic is an official language in 27 countries. Wi th the Middle East becoming an increasingly important region due to politics and commerce, a mastery of Arabic will definitely score you points with potential employers.Arabic is certainly not without its challenges, not least its vastly different vocabulary from European languages and its beautiful but alien script which is written from right to left. However, perhaps the biggest challenge is the range of dialects. When a language covers such a huge area, its only to be expected that there will be a huge variation in the way its spoken!There are three main varieties:Levantine Arabic. This is spoken around Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, and it boasts 20 million speakers worldwide. Although it has no official status, its the national working language in Lebanon and is used at home and among friendsâ€"as well as in written communication, the media and government. Levantine Arabic has influence from Hebrew, Greek, French and other foreign languages.Egyptian Arabic. This is, as t he name suggests, the dialect from Egypt and is spoken there by 52.5 million people. This form is understood in many parts of the Arab world due to Egypts cultural influence.Gulf Arabic. Speakers in Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE are the main users of this dialect, which has 10 personal pronouns. Gulf Arabic maintains gender differentiation, whereas others have done away with it.All of these are in addition to Modern Standard Arabic, which is the official language in most of these countries!Which to learn to begin with? London Arabic Tuition recommends learning Levantine Arabic firstâ€"the others will be easy to pick up afterwards.If you want to learn a new script.Bored with the Latin alphabet? Many of the languages already mentioned use other scripts, but if you really want to throw yourself into a beautiful, challenging, unique new writing system, why not try one of these?HindiI love, love,  love the look of Hindi.The curling characters hang from a bar, each representing a consonant so und.Then, diacriticsâ€"the little extra marks that modify characters, like an umlaut (the two dots over the u of  Brüder)  in German or a cedilla (the wiggle under the c of  façade)  in Frenchâ€"alter the vowel that follows. If theres no diacritic, the vowel is -a.Take as an example one of the best known Hindi wordsâ€"namaste, meaning hello. In Hindiâ€"or, strictly speaking, in the Devanagari  alphabetâ€"that is written as ??????.If that looks unintelligible, lets break it down character by character:? (na, no diacritic)? (ma,  no diacritic)? (sa,  combined with ? [ta] +  ? [-e  diacritic] =  ste)It may look alien to those of us brought up on the Latin alphabet, but once you crack the logic, it makes perfect senseâ€"and is stunning on a page.It could be a useful language too: Although India has many tongues, Hindi is the fourth-most-spoken first language in the world.JapaneseJapanese has not just one, not two, but  three new alphabets to get your head around.Kanji are Chinese char acters, and therefore the most numerous and complex of the three alphabets. Most words in Japanese use kanji, and there is no ruleâ€"they just have to be learned. For example:? (koi)  â€"  love? (neko) â€"  cat?? (nippon)  â€"  JapanLike the characters needed for Mandarin, there are upwards of 50,000 in total, although approximately only 3,000 are in common use in Japan.The other alphabetsâ€"the  kana  alphabetsâ€"are simpler. There are two of these, each with around 50 characters. Each character represents a sound or mora, either a vowel, consonant with vowel or a nasal  n sound.Hiragana is used primarily for grammatical purposes, such as adding suffixes to indicate tenseâ€"compare ??? (taberu, eat) and ??? (tabeta, ate). It can also be used to spell out complex or obscure kanji phonetically.Katakana is most often seen representing loan words from other languages. For example, I once wrote about a scene in Haruki Murakamis  Kafka on the Shore which featured Colonel Sanders, of KFC fame. In the katakana, this was rendered as  ???? ·????? (kaneru sandasu). Try saying it out loud, and youll hear how it sounds like a Japanese version of the English name!Japanese is fascinating with a challenging grammar, although a relatively simple phonology. However, its spoken only in Japan and its only relatives are endangered members of the Japonic family, so this might be one you dont get to break out too often if you dont live in Japan or already have regular contact with Japanese speakers.Still, its very interesting and its definitely a good one to consider.If you want to be uniqueThis section might be for the more experienced polyglots among you.Fed up with your everyday languages, perhaps you want to find something to really break out as a party trick.If thats the case, check out these foreign languages, which are sure to mark you as the linguistic hipster you are.NorwegianScandinavians are renowned for their fantastic English, and perhaps this is part of the reason why so few people take the time to learn the languages spoken there.However, theres a hidden bonusâ€"learning Norwegian essentially gives you three languages for the price of one! Its extremely similar to Swedish and Danish, and the three are often considered mutually comprehensible. Hit Scandi noir shows like The Bridge, featuring detectives from Denmark and Sweden, make jokes about this with Danish usually the butt of themâ€"as does this hilarious video.Why learn Norwegian? The distinctive and wonderful sound of the language is a reason in itself. Whats more, despite its hipster credentials, its not so distinct from English as to be a complete departure. There are numerous cognatesâ€"Im sure you wouldnt need me to tell you that  gress,  katt and  vinter mean grass, cat and winter respectivelyâ€"and the accent isnt too unusual sounding. Furthermore, Norwegians will love you for having the desire to learn their language!Swedish and Danish could be just as good to learn, but Norwegian i s less commonly taught and therefore that little extra special.QuechuaQuechua is the only minority language on this list, so its fitting that it should be in this section. Quechua is, however, the most popular second language across Peru and Bolivia, where theres an enormous drive to maintain the indigenous tongue. This could be a great one to pick up to deepen your understanding of Spanish, or if youre looking to travel to that part of the world.Whats more, it shouldnt be too hard! It  includes benefits such as:No irregular verbs, nouns or adjectivesNo grammatical genderNo articlesRegular casesObviously the vocabulary and grammar are bound to be unlike anything youve ever experienced, but you didnt want this to be  too easy, right?No self-respecting language nerd can do without speaking a minority language, so give it a go! Other options along this theme include Irish, Catalan, Khoekhoe or the dialects of Italy.I think thats enough languages to get you started, dont you?Remember to check out  FluentUs  language learning blogs and resources to help you along the way.Happy learning!

An Introduction to My Organic Chemistry Tutor in Thermodynamics

An Introduction to My Organic Chemistry Tutor in ThermodynamicsIf you are a passionate about chemistry and have taken up science and natural science subjects at a higher level, then it is time to take up My Organic Chemistry Tutor in Thermodynamics. The concept of thermodynamics, which deals with the dynamics of the world's systems is very important and vital for all scientific disciplines. It is the core concept in chemical and biological thermodynamics.If you are going to take up My Organic Chemistry Tutor in Thermodynamics you will be surprised by the concept of thermodynamics. It is one of the oldest concepts in the discipline of chemistry and biology. It can be understood by anyone. The first step to understand the concept of thermodynamics is the temperature of the system as measured at its center.In fact there are two different methods to measure the temperature at the center. This is called the axial method and the conical method.In the axial method, the temperature is measur ed by using the Doppler effect to detect the speed of sound in the system. The conical method involves taking a 'square wave' with two reference points, which are preferably on opposite sides of the system. Here you can refer to the momentum conservation law.The rate of heat transfer is determined by the thermal conductivity and the entropy of the system. The temperature is said to be distributed evenly throughout the system. The energy stored in the system is a function of the rate of heat transfer and the entropy of the system.In My Organic Chemistry Tutor in Thermodynamics you will be required to study the system of differential equations and describe the energy losses that are due to kinetic processes and the changes in entropy. The rate of heat transfer will be determined by the energy losses and the change in entropy.My Organic Chemistry Tutor in Thermodynamics can be challenging. If you want to know more about this subject, get in touch with a good online college or universit y.

It is so shallow of them.” - Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being EarnestYoga and eating are two activities that are linked since you can’t do one without the other. According to a Vegactu survey, 12% of those who do yoga are vegetarian. This is a more ethical approach to eating that generally involves eating more fruit, vegetables, and good protein rather than fatty acids, fats, and dairy products.Since yoga requires a lot of physical effort, it’s important that you prepare for each session by eating right. We’re made from the food we eat. It’s what makes exercise easier, more effective, and more useful. What’s better than getting the most out of a good yoga session?So what should you eat before and after a yoga session?In this article, we're looking at the reasons behind eating well when you do yoga, what you should ea t before a yoga session, what to eat once you've finished doing yoga, and the types of food that are important for yogis.

In fact, this activity requires a lot of physical effort, balance, and controlled breathing. You need to know what to feed you r body, mind, and spirit.Just like any other physical activity, what you eat will affect your performance. (Source: JESHOOTS-com)You need to more than just to feed yourself. This is why there’s plenty of information on what to eat. You need to be aware of what’s available and what will work. In order to get the most out of your yoga sessions, you’ll need calories to give you energy at the right time during any physical exertion.In fact, a large part of your diet when you do yoga is eating for energy. This is the main reason your body needs nutrition. After all, you need to eat foods that give you the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in order to maintain your energy levels and keep your body functioning. Feeding yourself is both essential and instinctive to such an extent that, slowly but surely, your body will start making the most out of what you put into it.While some foods are healthier than others, healthy foods are those that are good at boosting your energy in order to do what you need to do, maintain your blood sugar levels, include healthy fats, ensure that you don't suffer from fatigue, and naturally aid digestion and are good for weight loss (if you're overweight) or help you maintain a healthy weight.Thus, by eating starch, oats, brown rice, green vegetables, and cereal bars and smoothies, you can get rid of fat, build muscle, and tone your body. You’ll soon be ready to do sport by eating right.There are as many different yoga diets as there are types of food. The most important thing is that you have a balanced diet in terms of your calorie intake, that they give you an energy boost when you need to do sport, and you don't feel lethargic as a result of what you eat.Look up for  yoga near me  now.But what exactly is eating right?Don’t panic! We’re going to tell you.Eating Before a Yoga SessionWe tend to forget that a yoga session is still a workout. While the goal is meditation, relaxation, a few sun salutations and fluid movements, the re’s a lot of cardio, muscle toning, and muscle building going on. What better way to lose weight and give our metabolism a kick! Don’t forget to drink plenty of water!Before any yoga session, you should ensure that you've eaten correctly. (Source: JolaKalmuk)The food on your plate is a different beast. You need to first measure out the food you’re going to have throughout the day. Don’t hesitate to have a proper breakfast in the morning complete with fresh produce such as fruit. Of course, cereals including glycogen are useful, as is whole wheat bread.At lunchtime, the principle is the same. You can have fish or red meat for a bit of protein before a session. A lot of yogis who are vegetarian will get their proteins elsewhere. That’s not a problem. You can get vegetable proteins from pulses and legumes, the kind that’ll help you get the most out of your metabolism. Furthermore, you won’t be hungry, either.In the evening, if you’re going to yoga later on in the day, you need to take into account that you’ll need a light meal that’s also going to give you what you need to exercise. It can be quite difficult finding the balance. Consider seasonal vegetables and cereals or grains that will give you the energy you need right until the end of the session. Try to have dinner as early as possible so that you’ll have time to digest your meal before you do yoga and go to bed.Throughout the day, you can also snack. Don’t forget that you’re not eating in order to run a marathon, lose weight, or count calories, you’re eating so that you’re not going to be hungry and get the most out of your yoga session. This means that you can also have things like white meat.Eating After a Yoga SessionAdvice for Eating After YogaAfter a yoga session, you’re probably going to feel a bit tired or have a few aches and pains if it was a particularly demanding session. To avoid this, make sure that you drink enough water. You need to make sure that you’re bo dy’s hydrated enough to repair your cells after a group or individual yoga session.After a yoga session, you'll probably feel tired. Make sure that you eat to recover. (Source: StockSnap)Whatever the time of day, you should make sure that you’re having fast-acting sugars. This is a good idea for after any sporting activity. Similarly, you should also get some fibre in you. You should consult a nutritionist if you’re not sure exactly what you should eat.Whether it’s an evening meal, a quick snack, or breakfast, our eating habits need to line up with our lifestyle and activity levels (especially when it comes to yoga!). It’s not about counting calories but rather giving your body the resources it needs for after a yoga session.Most of the time, we like to have carbohydrates after a session, to replace the calories we burnt during the session. Foods rich in carbohydrates include wholemeal bread. White bread is also good, but it includes less fibre and is less nutritious.What Should You Eat and Drink After a Yoga Class?We can’t stress this enough, but you have to hydrate. Don’t forget that fruit is often full of natural sugars and water. However, don’t forget about proteins, either, as they help your muscles work.

5 Guitar Songs Mom Will Love

5 Guitar Songs Mom Will Love Maile Proctor Mother’s Day is a day to show appreciation to the special woman who raised you. But flowers and traditional gifts arent the only way to show your mom you love her. Here, guitar instructor Matt. K has put together five guitar songs that are perfect to sing for your mom When it comes to Mothers Day and certain holidays, sometimes us musicians can’t afford the traditional gifts, like a  bouquet of flowers, but that doesnt mean we cant give our mothers something special. What better way to show appreciation for mom than playing her a song? She will love it more than anything else you can give her. If you don’t end up writing your own Mother’s Day song, there are plenty of songs to choose from. I’ve put together a list of five guitar songs. I selected from different genres, so no matter what type of music your mom is into, youre sure to find a song that that she will love! Mama I’m Comin’ Home â€" Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne is known for his heavy metal and his rock star antics (just search Ozzy bat incident on Google), but on his album No More Tears, Ozzy decided to slow it down and write a brilliant ballad. Although this song is not about his actual mother, its still one of the best Mother’s Day songs. Here is the tab of the intro on guitar: e12| B-12| G13/119| D| A| E0| e0-0-000000| B-0-0-000000-| G-9-88-644-211-| D-42| A| E0-| e|0-0-000000| B|-0-0-000000-| G|9-88-644-211-| D|42| A|-| E|0-| e-00-0-0000000| B0-0-0-00-0-00-0| G-988-64-4-2111| D4-2| A| E-0-| If you want to learn to play the rest of the song, you can find the tabs here. Mama Liked the Roses â€" Elvis Presley In 1970, the king of rock n roll released Mama Liked the Roses. It was originally released as a B-side, but charted in the top 100, and became an Elvis stand by. It’s a sad, beautiful song about his late mother. Here are the chords for the chorus: C Dm G7 C A7 Oh mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard Dm E7 A7 But winter always came around and made the growing way too hard Dm G7 C A7 Oh mama liked the roses and when she had the time Dm E7 A7 Shed decorate the living room for all us kids to see Click here for the rest of the chords. Dear Mama â€" 2Pac Tupac released Dear Mama as a single in 1995. The song climbed the charts quickly and is still considered one of his best songs. It’s about his mother and his appreciation for everything she did for him, and lucky for us, it features a guitar in the hook. The riff is below, play this along with the video. E |15h17-15-| B |-14| G |13-x| D |15h16(16) | A || E || Mother â€" Danzig Mother by Danzig does not fit the mold of the other songs. It’s not about how much he appreciates his mom, but rather a warning to mothers about himself. Definitely not your traditional Mothers Day song, but it rocks, and it might be funny to play for mom! Note: I only suggest this one if your mom likes to rock, and has a sense of humor. Intro: e|||| B|||| G|||-o-o-| D|-402-4||024-| A|-220-2||-o-202o-| E|3||3-| Get the rest of the chords here.  Dear Prudence â€" The Beatles This is not a Mother’s Day song, but it’s my mother’s favorite song, so I had to add it to the list. It’s a beautiful song off of the White album, and if you perform it for your mother, you can’t go wrong. Almost everyone loves this song. Ive included the tab for the verse and you can find the rest of the song here. e|2 - - -|2 - - -| B|-3|-3| G|2|2| D|00|00| A|0|3| D|-0|-0| e|0 - - -|3 - - -| B|-1|-3| G|0-|0-| D|22|00| A|33|-| D|-|55| Whether youre an experienced guitarist or you just started lessons, you can take your pick from these five guitar songs and give your mom a mothers day concert shell never forget!
