Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis

sleep paralysis. Very simply, your mind wakes up before your body does, and you feel, well, paralyzed. You can see, you can hear, but you can’t move. Episodes of sleep paralysis can also feature very frightening visual and auditory hallucinations. These episodes are typically quite short, from a few seconds to a few minutes. But people that have experienced sleep paralysis describe the time as feeling much longer. Estimates indicate that one in three people will experience sleep paralysis…

can be found in different oxidation states, that is, different ionic states e.g. Iron (Fe) has two oxidation states, Fe (I) and Fe (II). This means that Iron can have the ionic form of Fe+2 or Fe+3. There is a density trend on the Periodic Table, but…

What is a Periodic Table and what is it used for in science and our everyday lives? On entering the chemistry laboratory at Mercer University, for Science 100 a large colorful chart displaying rows and columns of cells, was hanging over the chalkboard. I immediately felt a bit intimidated and my heart began racing. I questioned myself as to what am I about to experience? Moving closer to examine the chart, I felt as if the bright colors on the chart were generating warmth (energy) and…

Periodicity is a term used to describe the trends of the periodic table pertaining to the element’s properties. One of these trends is known as atomic radius. Atomic radius is the term referring to one half the distance between the nuclei in a diatomic molecule. This atom’s size depends on the size of the electron cloud surrounding the inner nucleus. As one moves across a period, the atomic radius is smaller. In other words, when one moves across the periodic table from left to right, the atomic…

He is known for his work on the Periodic Law and the creation of the very first periodic table.

Mendeleev had noticed that there were groups of different elements with very similar atomic masses and other chemical properties. Mendeleev had created the periodic law which is a law stating that the elements, when listed in order of…

Gilbert Lewis first introduced his theoretical dot structures in 1916. Today, these same dot structures are used to illustrate the chemical bonding nature of atoms. How did Lewis formulate these brilliantly simple representations of nature? The Lewis Dot Structures we know today actually derive their functionality from Lewis’ own model of the atom, the Theory of the Cubical Atom. This essay will explore the functionality of Lewis’ cubical atom and how this model led to the Lewis Dot Structures.…
