Lithium is an element with the atomic number 3 on the periodic table. Its atomic symbol is Li. Lithium belongs in the most reactive group on the periodic table which is called alkali metal. Lithium under standard conditions is the lightest metal it is also one of the least dense solids. Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.94 and density of 0.534. Lithium is a soft silver white looking metal. Lithium melts at 357 degrees and boils at a temper of 2426 degrees. Thanks to lithium's ability to reach…

Lithium is the chemical element of atomic number 3, a soft silver-white metal. It is the lightest of the alkali metals. The two main parts of every atom are neutrons and protons. The three main subatomic particles that form an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Electrons are the smallest of the three particles that make up atoms. Electrons are found in shells or orbitals that surround the nucleus of an atom. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. They group together in the center…

Hydrogen is an Alkali earth metal in group 1 on the periodic table. Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1 and an atomic number of 1. Hydrogen has 1 VALENCE electron and 1 neutron. It has 1 ring, because it’s in period 1. Hydrogens state of matter is gas. Lithium is a Alkali Earth Metal on the Periodic Table. Lithium's state or matter is solid. Lithium has a atomic number of 3 and an atomic mass of 7 when rounded. It has 1 valence electron around its nucleus and 4 neutrons in the nucleus. Lithium has…

Atomic mass: the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units; approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes Molar mass: a physical property defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by the amount of substance Mole: the amount of a substance contained in 6.02 x 10²³ particles of that substance…

blame for the nasty occurrence. In fact, this mother of repulsive odors earns its spot on the periodic table as one of the world's 118 chemical elements, or substances that contain only one type of atom. Much like any other non-metal, it does not retain the typical physical and chemical properties of metals, such as luster. The tenth most abundant element in the universe, sulfur additionally sports a multitude of unique characteristics- some even establishing it as an essential ingredient in…

Tin is a Chemical element its symbol is Sn. Its location on the periodic table of elements is period 5 group 14. Its atomic number is 50 and the atomic weight is 118.71. It has 50 protons, 50 electrons, and 69 neutrons. Tin is a solid, ductile, malleable, silvery-white metal. Tin melts at a low temperature of about 232 °C (450 °F). Tin resists corrosion from water, but can be attacked by acids. Around 5000 years ago, humans first began mining and incorporating tin with copper to create bronze…

The garnet ferrites have the general formula RFe5O12, where R is one of the rare earth metal ions (Y, Gd, Dy, Sm, Eu, Ho, Er, Tm, Tb and Lu). The first trail for synthesis of garnet Yttrium ferrite (Y3Fe5O12) was done by Bertaut and Forret in 1956 [39], this trial was followed by another one in 1957 when Geller and Gilleo prepared and investigated Gd3Fe5O12 [40]. The garnet ferrites have complex crystal structure with cubic shape. The cubic unit cell of garnet ferrites R3Fe5O12 contains 8…

A park in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, has a huge boulder field of musical rocks. Visitors to the park bring hammers, sticks, railroad spikes, and other odd things, to “play” the musical rocks. When tapped with a hammer, another rock, or other things, about one-third of the rocks in the field make a high-pitched melody that seems impossible to be ringing from a rock. At first, scientists thought it was strange that they never saw any wild animals in the boulder field. Then, they realized that all…

Beta-decay spectroscopy of the neutron-rich rare-earth nuclei Introduction Neutron-rich nuclei in rare-earth region are the most collective nuclei in nature since their protons and neutrons are lying far away from the shell closure limit, which proton shell closure are Z=50 and Z=82, and neutron shell closure are N=82 and N=126[1]. For example, the doubly mid-shell nucleus 170Dy[1] which has proton number Z=66 and neutron number N=104 is considered as the most collective in that region. Until…

Cu Again: Reactions of Copper Lynna Jezek*, Long Nguyen CHEM 111-502 Introduction: The element copper has proven to be of great use to human civilizations through time; from the first bronze smelted by the Sumerians to copper’s practicality in today’s industry-driven world, copper has become essential to human life. Copper’s use in industry (such as its great conductivity of heat and electricity) has driven many scientists to study the Copper Cycle, or how copper behaves as a response to…
