Seaweed fertilizers can also be more biodegradable, less toxic, and less hazardous than chemical fertilizers, depending on the type of seaweed fertilizer. [ 4 ] Seaweeds are used in aquaculture operations to uptake fish waste as nutrients and improve water quality parameters. [ 7 ]
Redfield discovered the remarkable congruence between the chemistry of the deep ocean and the chemistry of living things such as phytoplankton in the surface ocean. Both have N:P ratios of about 16:1 in terms of atoms. When nutrients are not limiting, the molar elemental ratio C:N:P in most phytoplankton is 106:16:1. Redfield thought it wasn't ...
Like all nuclides with a high atomic number, these uranium nuclei require many neutrons to bolster their stability, so they have a large neutron-proton ratio (N/Z). The nuclei resulting from a fission (fission products) inherit a similar N/Z, but have atomic numbers that are approximately half that of uranium. [1]
This chart of nuclides used by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency shows known (boxed) and predicted decay modes of nuclei up to Z = 149 and N = 256. Regions of increased stability are visible around the predicted shell closures at N = 184 (294 Ds– 298 Fl) and N = 228 (354 126), separated by a gap of short-lived fissioning nuclei (t 1/2 < 1 ns ...
When applied as plant fertilizer, it temporarily increases the soil pH, but over a long term the treated ground becomes more acidic than before, upon nitrification of the ammonium. It is incompatible with alkaline chemicals because its ammonium ion is more likely to convert to ammonia in a high-pH environment.
[citation needed] Seaweed-fertilizer also helps in breaking down clays. [citation needed] Fucus is used by Irish people as a biofertilizer on a large scale. [citation needed] In tropical countries, the bottom mud from dried-up ponds which contain abundant blue-green algae is regularly used as biofertilizer in fields. [citation needed]
The exceptions are beryllium (N/Z = 1.25) and every element with odd atomic number between 9 and 19 inclusive (though in those cases N = Z + 1 always allows for stability). Hydrogen-1 (N/Z ratio = 0) and helium-3 (N/Z ratio = 0.5) are the only stable isotopes with neutron–proton ratio under one.
The first two-coordinate linear Cu(II) complex, Cu{N(SiMe 3)Dipp} 2 (Dipp = C 6 H 5-2,6 i Pr 2), was prepared by combining a 1:1 ratio of LiN(SiMe 3)Dipp and CuCl. [14] The mechanism of this reaction is unknown, but the net result is Cu disproportionation to form the Cu(II) complex and Cu metal.
