[24] [28] A number of other elements are named after classical words for various places. Ruthenium is from the Latin name for the region including Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. [29]
Superactinides – Hypothetical series of elements 121 to 157, which includes a predicted "g-block" of the periodic table. Transactinide elements – Elements after the actinides (atomic number greater than 103). Transplutonium elements – Elements with atomic number greater than 94. Transuranium elements – Elements with atomic number ...
Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...
41 of the 118 known elements have names associated with, or specifically named for, places around the world or among astronomical objects. 32 of these have names tied to the places on Earth, and the other nine are named after to Solar System objects: helium for the Sun; tellurium for the Earth; selenium for the Moon; mercury (indirectly), uranium, neptunium and plutonium after their respective ...
Squaric acid A square-shaped organic compound, also called squaric acid. Sulflower: Sulflower A stable heterocyclic octacirculene based on thiophene, named as a portmanteau of sulfur and sunflower. Volleyballene: Molecule composed of 60 carbon and 20 scandium atoms, which has an appearance similar to that of a volleyball.
Chemical similarity (or molecular similarity) refers to the similarity of chemical elements, molecules or chemical compounds with respect to either structural or functional qualities, i.e. the effect that the chemical compound has on reaction partners in inorganic or biological settings.
Another study out of the U.K. had nearly 100 participants abstain from drinking alcohol for a month and another nearly 50 participants continue drinking alcohol as normal.
Charles Hatchett named element 41 columbium in 1801 [4] (Cb), [5] but after the publication of On the Identity of Columbium and Tantalum by William Hyde Wollaston in 1809, the claims of discovery of Hatchett were mistakenly considered refuted. [6] In 1846, Heinrich Rose discovered that tantalite contained an element similar to tantalum and ...
