  • A Contribution to the Chemistry of Rhenium
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS RESEARCH PAPER RP999 Part of Journal of Research of the J'Xational Bureau of Standards, Volume 18, May 1937 A CONTRIBUTION TO THE CHEMISTRY OF RHENIUM . By C. E. F. Lundell and H. B. Knowles ABSTRACT A study of the behavior of rhenium when dilute solutions of potassium per­ rhenate are acidified with sulphuric acid, cooled, and passed through the Jones reductor, indicates that rhenium forms a compound in which it has a valency of minus one, and that the rhenium in this compound is oxidized to a valency of plus one if the diluted sulphuric acid solution is protected from oxygen and warmed to approximately 50° C. In the course of the investigation, it was also found (1) that rhenium can be electrodeposited from diluted (5+95) sulphuric acid solution; (2) that deposits are slightly contaminated; and (3) that the deposited metal can be oxidized directly to perrhenic acid by exposure to moist air, oxygen, or by making the deposit the anode in a water solution.

  • Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table
    Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.

  • Genius of the Periodic Table
    GENIUS OF THE PERIODIC TABLE "Isn't it the work of a genius'. " exclaimed Academician V.I. Spitsyn, USSR, a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee when talking to an Agency audience in January. His listeners shared his enthusiasm. Academician Spitsyn was referring to the to the first formulation a hundred years ago by Professor Dmitry I. Mendeleyev of the Periodic Law of Elements. In conditions of enormous difficulty, considering the lack of data on atomic weights of elements, Mendeleyev created in less than two years work at St. Petersburg University, a system of chemical elements that is, in general, still being used. His law became a powerful instrument for further development of chemistry and physics. He was able immediately to correct the atomic weight numbers of some elements, including uranium, whose atomic weight he found to be double that given at the time. Two years later Mendeleyev went so far as to give a detailed description of physical or chemical properties of some elements which were as yet undiscovered. Time gave striking proof of his predictions and his periodic law. Mendeleyev published his conclusions in the first place by sending, early in March 186 9, a leaflet to many Russian and foreign scientists. It gave his system of elements based on their atomic weights and chemical resemblance. On the 18th March that year his paper on the subject was read at the meeting of the Russian Chemical Society, and two months later the Society's Journal published his article entitled "The correlation between properties of elements and their atomic weight".

Abstract An investigation was conducted to determine the effect of temperature and composition on alloy softening in group VIA metals Cr, Mo, and W alloyed with Re. Results showed that alloy soften- ing was similar in all three alloy systems occurring at homologous temperatures less than 0.16 and at Re concentrations less than 16 atom percent. Rhenium content required to produce a hardness minimum diminished rapidly in all three systems with increasingtest temperature. The similarities in hardness behavior in these three alloy systems suggesta common softening mechanism which may arise from lowering the Peierls stress. -~ 17. Key Words(Suggested byAuthor(s)) 18.

    324 Chem. Educator 2001, 6, 324–332 The Periodic Table: An Eight Period Table For The 21st Centrury Gary Katz Periodic Roundtable, Cabot, VT 05647, [email protected] Received March 23, 2001. Accepted May 7, 2001 Abstract: Throughout most of the 20th century, an eight-period periodic table (also known as an electron- configuration table) was offered as an improvement over the ubiquitous seven-period format of wall charts and textbooks. The eight-period version has never achieved wide acceptance although it has significant advantages. Many observers have questioned the way helium is displayed in this format. Now, a reinterpretation of the relationship of the first-period elements to successive elements may help make the eight-period table an attractive choice for the 21st century. The Eight-Period Periodic Table: An Improved Display of journals have apparently been loath to accept any recent the Elements comment on the subject, despite the need for a fresh dialogue. This is partly due to the lack of new evidence to bolster the The periodic table of textbooks and wall charts is used in cause of the eight-period table and partly to the conviction of classrooms and laboratories around the world. This familiar editors and reviewers that the discussion of the format of the format, which we designate the seven-period table, (Figure 1) table is over, as if the case were closed. has become the standard periodic table for the natural sciences despite the fact that it has serious shortcomings, both Structuring the Eight-Period Table theoretical and pedagogical. By rearranging the table, (as shown in Figure 2) we can create a different format (Figure 3), Upholders of the seven-period tradition object to the way which is both modular and algorithmic, that is, one which helium is displayed at the top of group two.

  • Rhenium and Technetium III
    Rediscovery of the Elements Rhenium and Technetium III Figure 1. The transition metals of the Periodic Table had all been discovered by 1923 except for the eka- manganeses (also known as “eka-” and “dvi-”Mn, “1” and “2” in Sanskrit). Noddack and Tacke reasoned that these two elements might be found in platinum ores (where the shaded blue elements may be found as 6 James L. Marshall, Beta Eta 1971, and impurities) and/or columbite (Fe,Mn)(Nb,Ta)2O6 (red shaded elements). Their research showed that Virginia R. Marshall, Beta Eta 2003, element 75 (rhenium) is actually most commonly associated with molybdenum in nature (see double 27,28 Department of Chemistry, University of headed arrow), corresponding to the “diagonal behavior” occasionally observed in the Periodic Table.
