  • An Alternate Graphical Representation of Periodic Table of Chemical Elements Mohd Abubakr1, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt
    An Alternate Graphical Representation of Periodic table of Chemical Elements Mohd Abubakr1, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt. Ltd, Hyderabad, India. [email protected] Abstract Periodic table of chemical elements symbolizes an elegant graphical representation of symmetry at atomic level and provides an overview on arrangement of electrons. It started merely as tabular representation of chemical elements, later got strengthened with quantum mechanical description of atomic structure and recent studies have revealed that periodic table can be formulated using SO(4,2) SU(2) group. IUPAC, the governing body in Chemistry, doesn‟t approve any periodic table as a standard periodic table. The only specific recommendation provided by IUPAC is that the periodic table should follow the 1 to 18 group numbering. In this technical paper, we describe a new graphical representation of periodic table, referred as „Circular form of Periodic table‟. The advantages of circular form of periodic table over other representations are discussed along with a brief discussion on history of periodic tables. 1. Introduction The profoundness of inherent symmetry in nature can be seen at different depths of atomic scales. Periodic table symbolizes one such elegant symmetry existing within the atomic structure of chemical elements. This so called „symmetry‟ within the atomic structures has been widely studied from different prospects and over the last hundreds years more than 700 different graphical representations of Periodic tables have emerged [1]. Each graphical representation of chemical elements attempted to portray certain symmetries in form of columns, rows, spirals, dimensions etc. Out of all the graphical representations, the rectangular form of periodic table (also referred as Long form of periodic table or Modern periodic table) has gained wide acceptance.

  • Helium Adsorption on Lithium Substrates
    JLowTempPhys DOI 10.1007/s10909-007-9516-5 Helium Adsorption on Lithium Substrates E. Van Cleve · P. Taborek · J.E. Rutledge Received: 25 July 2007 / Accepted: 13 September 2007 © Springer Science+Business Media 2007 Abstract We have developed a cryogenic pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system to deposit lithium films onto a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) at 4 K. Adsorption isotherms of 4He on lithium were measured in the temperature range between 1.42 K and 2.5 K. The isotherms are qualitatively different from isotherms on strong sub- strates such as gold and weak substrates such as cesium. There is no evidence of the formation of solid-like layers of helium, and the helium coverage is approximately linear in the pressure over a wide range. By measuring the low coverage slope of the isotherms, the binding energy of helium to lithium was found to be approxi- mately −13.6 K. For lithium substrates less than approximately 100 layers thick, the chemical potential at which the superfluid transition was observed was surprisingly sensitive to the details of lithium deposition. Keywords Helium films · Pulsed laser deposition · Superfluidity · Alkali metal 1 Introduction When helium is adsorbed onto a strong heterogenous substrate such as gold, the first 2 or 3 statistical layers are solid-like. The nature of these layers is not yet clear, but the layers are amorphous and do not participate significantly in superflow at high coverages. Superfluidity on strong substrates requires a minimum critical coverage to saturate the solid-like layers, and the superfluid phase which forms at higher cover- ages flows over these layers and does not interact directly with the strong, short range This work was supported by NSF grant DMR 0509685.

  • Of the Periodic Table
    of the Periodic Table teacher notes Give your students a visual introduction to the families of the periodic table! This product includes eight mini- posters, one for each of the element families on the main group of the periodic table: Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Boron/Aluminum Group (Icosagens), Carbon Group (Crystallogens), Nitrogen Group (Pnictogens), Oxygen Group (Chalcogens), Halogens, and Noble Gases. The mini-posters give overview information about the family as well as a visual of where on the periodic table the family is located and a diagram of an atom of that family highlighting the number of valence electrons. Also included is the student packet, which is broken into the eight families and asks for specific information that students will find on the mini-posters. The students are also directed to color each family with a specific color on the blank graphic organizer at the end of their packet and they go to the fantastic interactive table at www.periodictable.com to learn even more about the elements in each family. Furthermore, there is a section for students to conduct their own research on the element of hydrogen, which does not belong to a family. When I use this activity, I print two of each mini-poster in color (pages 8 through 15 of this file), laminate them, and lay them on a big table. I have students work in partners to read about each family, one at a time, and complete that section of the student packet (pages 16 through 21 of this file). When they finish, they bring the mini-poster back to the table for another group to use.

  • Unit 6 the Periodic Table How to Group Elements Together? Elements of Similar Properties Would Be Group Together for Convenience
    Unit 6 The periodic table How to group elements together? Elements of similar properties would be group together for convenience. The periodic table Chemists group elements with similar chemical properties together. This gives rise to the periodic table. In the periodic table, elements are arranged according to the following criteria: 1. in increasing order of atomic numbers and 2. according to the electronic arrangement The diagram below shows a simplified periodic table with the first 36 elements listed. Groups The vertical columns in the periodic table are called groups . Groups are numbered from I to VII, followed by Group 0 (formerly called Group VIII). [Some groups are without group numbers.] The table below shows the electronic arrangements of some elements in some groups. Group I Group II Group VII Group 0 He (2) Li (2,1) Be (2,2) F (2,7) Ne (2,8) Na (2,8,1) Mg (2,8,2) Cl (2,8,7) Ar (2,8,8) K (2,8,8,1) Ca (2,8,8,2) Br (2,8,18,7) Kr (2,8,18,8) What is the relationship between the group numbers and the electronic arrangements of the elements? Group number = the number of outermost shell electrons in an atom of the element The chemical properties of an element depend mainly on the number of outermost shell electrons in its atoms. Therefore, elements within the same group would have similar chemical properties and would react in a similar way. However, there would be a gradual change of reactivity of the elements as we move down the group.

  • 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.

Both academic institutes and world-wide probably no LLE for helium-neon). industries have identified the lack of reliable equation of state for mixtures used at very low temperatures. Detailed cryogenic architecture modeling and design cannot be assessed without valid fluid properties. Therefore, the latter is the focus of this work. Initially driven by the FCC study, the modeling was extended to other fluids beneficial for scientific and industrial application beyond the FCC needs. The properties are modeled for the mixtures of some noble gases with the use of multi-fluid Helmholtz-energy-explicit models: helium-neon, neon-argon, and helium-argon.

  • Mass Spectrometric Measurement of Helium Isotopes and Tritium in Water Samples
    Mass spectrometric measurement of helium isotopes and tritium in water samples Andrea Ludin1, Ralf Weppernig1, Gerhard Bönisch1, and Peter Schlosser1,2 1Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University Route 9W Palisades, NY 10964 2Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences Columbia University New York, NY 10027 downloaded from: http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~etg/ms_ms/Ludin_et_al_MS_Paper.html 1 ABSTRACT The design, setup and routine performance of systems for mass spectrometric measurement of helium isotopes and tritium of water samples by the 3He ingrowth method are described using two systems operated in the noble gas laboratory of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory as examples. The systems are built around commercially available mass spectrometers and are equipped with specially designed sample inlet and purification systems including a series of cryogenically cooled traps for removal of water and permanent gases, as well as for separation of helium from neon. Neon isotopes are measured simultaneously to the helium isotope measurements in quadrupole mass spectrometers. The systems are fully automated for high sample throughput and high precision. Typical precisions for measurement of tritium, δ 3He, and the 4He and neon concentrations are ± 1 to ± 2 %, ± 0.15 to ± 0.2 %, and ± 0.2 to ± 0.3 %, respectively. These values are determined by several factors including the linearity of the mass spectrometers and the individual blank and memory components. 2 1.

  • Facts About Helium by Stephanie Pappas, Live Science Contributor | January 26, 2015 11:50Pm ET
    Facts About Helium By Stephanie Pappas, Live Science Contributor | January 26, 2015 11:50pm ET First discovered in the corona surrounding the sun and later found in gases leaking from Mount Vesuvius, helium is the second-most abundant element in the universe. The second element on the Periodic Table of Elements is inert, colorless and odorless — but far from boring. Helium shows up in semiconductors, birthday balloons and the Large Hadron Collider. Because of its extremely low density, helium floats in air. The low density is also responsible for the weird "squeaky voice" effect when helium is inhaled. The less dense the gas surrounding the vocal cords, the faster they vibrate, sending the voice's pitch skyward. (Practice this party trick in moderation, though: Helium replaces oxygen in the lungs and can kill you if you inhale enough.) Read on for more about this lighter-than-air gas, its amazing discovery story and all of its myriad uses today. Just the facts According to the Jefferson National Linear Accelerator Laboratory, the properties of helium are: Atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus): 2 Atomic symbol (on the Periodic Table of Elements): He Atomic weight (average mass of the atom): 4.002602 Density: 0.0001785 grams per cubic centimeter Phase at Room temperature: Gas Melting point: minus 458.0 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 272.2 degrees Celsius) Boiling point: minus 452.07 F (minus 268.93 C) Number of isotopes (atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons): 8; 2 stable Most common isotopes: He-4 (99.999866 percent natural abundance) and He-3 (0.000134 percent natural abundance) Solar discovery On Aug.
