Holmium Same As Santa’S Signature Hearty Laugh

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas! It’s that time of the year, it’s Christmas time! Council of the 118 Elements I’m thrilled to introduce you to the element who has a chemical symbol the Santa Claus ~ Ho…Ho…Holmium same as Santa’s signature hearty laugh. Let’s give a warm welcome to Holmium in this chilly month of Christmas. Name Holmium He is a member of the Lanthanide series. The Lanthanides are put in a Atomic No. Atomic Weight disembodied block below the main body of the Periodic Table. It comprises 67 164.9303 15 elements with atomic numbers 57 to 71, from Lanthanum to Lutetium. Origin of the Name Home town of Cleve Holmia ‘Stockholm’ (the discoverer) Holmium has the highest magnetic strength of any element, and therefore is used to create the strongest artificially generated magnetic Melting Point 1461 °C Electronic fields. Another special trait is that he readily absorbs excess neutrons Arrangement Boiling Point 2720 °C 2,8,18,29,8,2 and so controls the chain reaction that fuels the nuclear reactor. Density 8.54 g/cm3 Humans also owe a huge thanks to Holmium for his Abundance 1.3 mg/kg significant contributions in the medical and dental fields.

The chemical similarity of the rare earths arises from a common ionic configuration of their valence electrons, as the filling f-orbitals are buried in an inner core and generally do not engage in bonding. The term “rare earths” is a misnome r—these elements are not rare (except for radioactive promethium). They were named as such because they were found in unusual minerals, and because they were difficult to separate from one another by ordinary chemical manipula - tions.

Astrid Cleve Von Euler Född 11 Januari 1875, Död 8 April 1968, Dotter Till Professor (Uppsala) Per Teodor Cleve Och Författaren Caralma Öhbom
Sveriges första kvinnliga doktor i naturvetenskapliga ämnen var lärare på Norra Real 1912-16 Astrid Cleve von Euler född 11 januari 1875, död 8 april 1968, dotter till professor (Uppsala) Per Teodor Cleve och författaren Caralma Öhbom. Disputerade i botanik den 27 maj 1898 vid Uppsala universitet. Astrid Cleve utbildade sig till botanist och blev fil. kand. 1894 och disputerade i Uppsala 1898. Hon var därmed den tredje kvinnan i Sverige som disputerade. (Ellen Fries var den första kvinnan som doktorerade, 1883 i historia). Hon var starkt målinriktad på att bli forskare men när hon som kvinna inte accepterades som sådan, blev hon lärare istället. Hon fick mycket goda betyg i undervisningsskicklighet och därmed tjänst som lärare på Norra Real. Naturligtvis inte som lektor på gymnasiet - kvinnor kunde inte få sådan tjänst - men genom sin kompetens kom hon ändå att vikariera som lektor med en lön som så småningom blev 75,9 procent av vad hennes manliga kolleger fick. Lönefrågan diskuterades i många instanser innan den här procentsatsen fastställdes. Man var helt enkelt rädd att statuera exempel. ”... doktor Cleve von Euler gjorda framställningen knappast lärer kunna anses vara prejudicerande i avseende å kvinnors anställning i statstjänst. Ett dylikt bifall kommer framför allt ej att beröra det mycket omstridda spörsmålet om kvinnas lämplighet eller icke såsom undervisare för manliga lärjungar å högre stadium, ...” Astrid Cleve gifte sig den 2 september 1902 med Hans von Euler, som 1929 skulle få nobelpriset i kemi. Han var invandrare från Tyskland, men hade då bott i Sverige tillräckligt länge - och var av ”god frejd” - för att få gifta sig här.

The lanthanide series of of 64.5 to 67.5, placing it between the lanthanides elements are often displayed in an expanded field at gadolinium and erbium. Some investigators who want the base of the table directly above the actinide series to emphasise the lanthanide connection of the REE of elements. In order of increasing atomic number the group, use the prefix ‘lanthanide’ (e.g., lanthanide REE: REE are: lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium see Chapter 2). In some classifications, the second element of the actinide series, thorium (Th: Mernagh (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium 1 (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), and Miezitis, 2008), is also included in the REE dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium group, while promethium (Pm), which is a radioactive (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), and lutetium (Lu).
