Table. Just for example, the modern periodic table arranges elements in order of increasing atomic number. Mendeleev’s ordered them based upon increasing atomic weight. Another difference is that the modern periodic table has some elements that Mendeleev had not found. One of these family of elements are the non-reactive noble gases. There are also no gaps in the current Periodic Table. In Mendeleev’s version, he had gaps where elements had not been found yet. The last difference is that the…

The space group for α-FePO4 is P3121, with the lattice symmetry being tetrahedral in shape. On the other hand, the space group for β-FePO4 is P6422, with the lattice symmetry being hexagonal in shape. In this writing assignment, FePO4 is studied at varying temperature ranging from 294K to 1073K by neutron powder diffraction. At a relatively low temperature, it adopts the structure of the α-quartz. However, at high pressures, it changes and it can be observed that it becomes a denser…

Paragraph 1 The structural evolution of FePO4 studied from a temperature range of 294K to 1073K by neutron powder diffraction. It is unique from α-quartz isotopes. It is different because it’s a cation is a transition metal. The structure dimensions and atomic coordinates in the α phase tend to increase by great amounts as the high-temperature β-phase rises and exhibit first order transition at 980K. The atomic structure dimensions of the α-phase FePO4 increased in a non-uniform pattern with…

Introduction Silver, like gold, is found in a native state; frequently too it occurs as an alloy containing gold, which is recognized, when the silver is dissolved in nitric acid, as the black sediment or oxide of gold. Arsenic and antimony are found also alloyed with it. Several of the ores of lead and copper contain silver. As silver is a precious metal often used for coins, its mining has historically often been lucrative. As with other precious metals such as gold, newly discovered deposits…

CHAPTER 1 TIN OXIDE 1.1 Introduction Tin dioxide, also known by the systematic name tin(IV) oxide and stannic oxide in the older notation, is the inorganic compound with the formula SnO2. The mineral form of SnO2 is called cassiterite, and this is the main ore of tin. With many other names, this oxide of tin is the most important raw material in tin chemistry. This colorless, diamagnetic solid is amphoteric. 1.2 Structure It crystallises with the rutile structure, wherein the tin atoms are six…

because of the many different colors in the element. This element is hard, metallic and shiny. Chromium doesn't tarnish. Chromium is a metal element. Chromium's symbol is "Cr" and has an atomic number of 24. This metal is the first element in group 6. It has an Atomic mass of 52.0. Chromium has 4 known isotopes. Chromium is a "transitional metal." The other family members in period 6 are molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and seaborgium (Sg). All elements in group 6 are transitional metals.…

periodic trends of the first 36 elements that are on the periodic table. Trends that were analyzed and examined are the atomic radius (AR) and the first ionization energy (IE) of the 36 elements. The hypothesis for this lab was that the elements that are in the groups that had the highest atomic radius would be in the same groups as those who have the the highest first ionization energy and the groups who have the lowest atomic radius would be in the same groups as those elements who have the…

1922, he had a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering. For his postgraduate study Linus went to the California Institute of Technology(A.K.A. Caltech). There, he got his Ph.D in chemistry and mathematical physics in 1925. Once he joined the Caltech faculty in 1927, he continued his research on the formation of chemical bonds between atoms in molecules and crystals. “In 1938, Linus wrote down everything he learned in a book called The Nature of the Chemical Bond and the Structure of…

Dawkins decides to bring a little chemistry into this chapter. He brings up the Bohr model, he states atoms being similar to the solar system. The way electrons go around the nucleus is the same way planets orbit. Elements have the ability to be present even with a varying number of neutrons. This is to be called isotopes. His point with this is that these isotopes are very balanced while others may be not so balanced. This will then be called radioactivity. Every isotope that becomes…

colorless. Fluorite is known as the most colorful mineral in the world. Each colored fluorite has its own name. The most common colors for fluorite come in purple, blue, yellow, or green (King, Fluorite.) What makes fluorite colorful depends on what elements are substituting calcium in the crystalline structure. Fluorite is an interesting mineral because of its wide range of uses. People use some form fluorite everyday. In industry, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting (University of…
