Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis

Paragraph 1 This essay will evaluate the Haines et al. Also, the essay will discuss about how the structure of FePO4 will change at various temperature ranging from 294K to 1073K. FePO4's A cation is a transition metal, thus it is not the same as other α-quartz isotopes. FePO4' has α-quartz structure which is tetrahedral when it is at a very low temperature. Under huge pressure, FePO4's structure goes through a phenomena called β-phase which it became a more condensed octahedral structure.…

Sam Kean explores each of the elements on the periodic table. The Disappearing Spoon focusses on the history of the Periodic Table by telling stories that show how each element affected the scientists that discovered it. For each element, Kean supplies an extensive backstory for its foundation, the common (or uncommon) uses of the element and other useful factoids about the matter. The author begins the novel with a physical description of the Periodic Table as a whole; he discusses the names of…

helium.The name is derived from the Greek 'helios' meaning sun, as it was in the sun's corona. Helium is a gaseous chemical element,with a symbol of He. Its atomic number is 2 and atomic weight is 4.0026. Helium is one of the noble gases on the periodic table. It’s the second lightest element. Helium is a colourless, odourless, insipid and non-toxic gas. It’s less soluble in water than any other gas. It’s the less reactive element and doesn’t form chemical compounds. The density of helium…

The element that I choose for this project is called Strontium. Strontium is a chemical element with the symbol (Sr) and it has atomic number of 38. It is an alkaline earth metal, and is a soft white yellowish metallic element which has highly reactivity chemically. It’s properties are mostly intermediate between aand similar to those of its group neighbors calcium and barium. When it is exposed to air, the metal forms a dark oxide layer. Strontium has 38 protons, 50 neutrons, and 38 electrons.…

Joseph Priestley was a famous chemist. He was famous for inventing soda water, his writings about electricity, and his discovery of gases. Joseph was born on March 24, 1733, in Bristall. He died February 6, 1804 at the age of 70. Joseph is most known for his discovery of oxygen and for isolating it. Oxygen was not first discovered by Joseph, instead the famous Swedish chemist, Carl W. Scheele, in 1772. Joseph discovered Oxygen independently in 1774. Joseph published his findings in the…

What are group one elements? Group one elements are alkali metals. The physical properties of group one elements are that they are shiny and the alkali metals are very soft. Lithium is the hardest alkali metal and they become softer as you go down the group. The chemical properties of group one is that they’re very reactive when mixed with water or when in contact with the air. Each element in group one has one electron in their outermost shell. Also, group one elements get more reactive as you…

In today’s day and age, plastic surgery is extremely popular, especially breast augmentations. About 4% of women in America get breast augmentation each year. One of the options for breast augmentation is silicon implants. That being said I wanted to learn more about silicon and what people are putting in their bodies. Silicon is an element a pure substance that can’t be broken down. Silicon was first discovered in 1824 by a Swedish chemist named Jons Jacob Berzelius. This element is the second…

Why There Are No Pure Elements From Group 1 & 7 Group 1 elements are alkali metals which are very soft and reacts with metals well. The elements reacts very strongly with water. As you down the elements of group one, the reactivity increases. However, group 7 are halogens which are reactive, but they are metal. They are also different from group one as their reactivity decreases as you go down. Also, the elements becomes darker as you go down the group. Chemical reactions of group 1: The…

arrangement of the elements in the periodic table (the way elements with common traits are grouped together), we will determine the name and location of each unknown element by clustering said elements with other known elements that they share the most characteristics with. In this lab we will momentarily fill the shoes of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who was the first to observe the patterns between elements arranged according to their properties. His periodic table left room for then…

My chemical element is Sulfur. If you were to be looking at a periodic table, its symbol would be S. Sulfur’s atomic number is 16. Sulfur has 16 protons, 16 electrons, and 16 neutrons. Sulfur’s atomic mass is 32.065 and its mass number is 32. Sulfur comes from the Sanskrit word “Sulvere” and also the latin word “Sulphurium”. Sulfur was discovered in Ancient times and has been mentioned in both the Bible and the Torah. Sulfur is commonly found in meteorites, volcanoes, hot springs, and as…
