  2. Selenium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium

    Selenium is found in metal sulfide ores, where it substitutes for sulfur. Commercially, selenium is produced as a byproduct in the refining of these ores. Minerals that are pure selenide or selenate compounds are rare. The chief commercial uses for selenium today are glassmaking and pigments. Selenium is a semiconductor and is used in photocells.

  3. Riley oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riley_oxidation

    Ketones with two available α-methylene positions react more quickly at the least hindered position.: [1] Allylic oxidation can be predicted by the substitution pattern on the olefin. In the case of 1,2-disubstituted olefins, reaction rates follow CH > CH 2 > CH 3: Geminally-substituted olefins react in the same order of reaction rates as above ...

  4. Selenium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium_compounds

    Selenium compounds are compounds containing the element selenium (Se). Among these compounds, selenium has various oxidation states , the most common ones being −2, +4, and +6. Selenium compounds exist in nature in the form of various minerals, such as clausthalite , guanajuatite , tiemannite , crookesite etc., and can also coexist with ...

  5. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    Each chemical element has a unique atomic number (Z— for "Zahl", German for "number") representing the number of protons in its nucleus. [4] Each distinct atomic number therefore corresponds to a class of atom: these classes are called the chemical elements. [5] The chemical elements are what the periodic table classifies and organizes.

  6. Gadolinium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadolinium

    In the periodic table, it appears between the elements europium to its left and terbium to its right, and above the actinide curium. It is a silvery-white, malleable , ductile rare-earth element . Its 64 electrons are arranged in the configuration of [Xe]4f 7 5d 1 6s 2 , of which the ten 4f, 5d, and 6s electrons are valence .

  7. Group 5 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_5_element

    Group 5 is the new IUPAC name for this group; the old style name was group VB in the old US system (CAS) or group VA in the European system (old IUPAC). Group 5 must not be confused with the group with the old-style group crossed names of either VA (US system, CAS) or VB (European system, old IUPAC); that group is now called the pnictogens or ...

    An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities for software development.An IDE normally consists of at least a source-code editor, build automation tools, and a debugger.

  9. Alkali metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_metal

    Although a simple extrapolation of the periodic table (by the Aufbau principle) would put element 169, unhexennium, under ununennium, Dirac-Fock calculations predict that the next element after ununennium with alkali-metal-like properties may be element 165, unhexpentium, which is predicted to have the electron configuration [Og] 5g 18 6f 14 7d ...
