Halogens are five non-metallic elements found in Group 7 of the periodic table. The term Brilliant, White Light: “halogen” means “salt former” Halogen lamps deliver a crisp, white light. Not and compounds containing only is the quantity of the light greater than halogens are called “salts.” a standard incandescent of comparable The halogens are: Fluorine (F), wattage, but the quality of the light creates Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), a higher contrast for reading and other tasks. Iodine (I) and Astatine (At). This also makes halogen perfect for display, accent and general lighting. Color Temperature & Rendering: Since halogens are incandescent lamps, their CRI of 100 will render colors accurately and will match the color temperature of other light sources in the 3000K range. Long Life: Standard incandescent lamps and halogen lamps both use tungsten filaments. However, the filament in the standard lamp evaporates over time, causing it to weaken and eventually break. The gasses inside halogen lamps allow the evaporated tungsten to find its way back to the filament and redeposit, ensuring a long life of 2,000 hours or more. Lumen Maintenance: Compared to standard incandescent lamps, halogens offer superior lumen performance throughout the life of the lamp. HANDS OFF! Halogen lamps can be dimmed using a conventional incandescent dimmer. However, While conventional incandescent using a dimmer actually has an adverse effect on the lamps. lamps can be handled Standard incandescents benefit from being used with a dimmer due to the reduced voltage being applied to the filament. Halogen lamp filaments need to be operated with bare hands, halogen at higher temperatures (250 degrees Celsius or higher) for the lamp to function properly. bulbs should not.

    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.

    25 WORDS CHLORINE Chlorine, Cl, Is a Very Poisonous Green Gas That's

    25 WORDS CHLORINE Chlorine, Cl, is a very poisonous green gas that's extremely reactive. It's used for sanitizing, purifying, and was used as a weapon during World War I by the Germans. But in chemistry, it is an oxidizer. Chlorine, Cl, is a green gaseous element with an atomic number of 17. This halogen is a powerful oxidant and used to produce many things, such as cleaning products. Chlorine; it's chemical symbol is Cl. Chloride is abundant in nature and necessary for life but a large amount can cause choking and and poisoning. It's mainly used for water purification but has other uses. Chlorine is a halogen and to test if it has a halogen, we use the Beilstein Copper Wire Test. It is also used to produce safe drinking water. Chlorine, atomic number seventeen, is a halogen that is found in table salt, NaCl, making it essential to life. However, pure chlorine, Cl2, is a poisonous gas, detectable at even 1 ppm. Chlorine, (Symbol Cl), belongs to the halogen family of elements, found in group 17 on the periodic table. Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and atomic weight of 35.453. Chlorine is the 17th element on the periodic table, and is in the "Halogens" group, which has a tendency to gain one electron to form anions. Its anion can be found commonly in table salt Chlorine (symbolized Cl) is the chemical element with atomic number 17. Clorine is a powerful oxidant and is used in bleaching and disinfectants. It is a pale yellow-green gas that has a specific strong smell.

    Driving Halogen Lamps Application Note

    Application Note 1604 Driving Halogen Lamps Abstract: This application note looks at the suitability of the Ultimod wide trim powerMods for applications driving Halogen lamps. An incandescent lamp generates light by heating is that the powerMod will go into a protective a tungsten wire or filament until it glows (at current limit. The characteristics of this current around 2,500 ºC) by passing an electric current limit are shown in Figure 1 below. through it. A halogen lamp is basically a modified version of an incandescent lamp. The difference is that the bulb of a halogen lamp has a small amount of a halogen gas added. The presence of this halogen in the bulb produces a chemical reaction (known as the halogen cycle) that redeposists tungsten evaporated by heating back onto the filament. In a standard incandescent the constant evaporation leads to the eventual failure of the lamp as the filament progressively thins and breaks or “burns out”. Since in a halogen lamp the tungsten is redeposited back on the filament Figure 1 Current Limit Characteristics its lifetime is extended, and it also be heated to a higher temperature (in the region of 3,000 ºC), which increases its efficiency. You can see from Figure 1 that when we increase the load (by reducing the loads The high operational temperature of the filament resistance) and the current increases above the results in a challenge for a constant voltage set current limit of the modules we enter a mode power supplies like the Ultimod due to the of operation known as straight line current different resistance of the tungsten filament limiting where the current is held constant and at room temperature and its resistance at 3,000 the voltage is reduced.

However, to excite fluorescent dyes currently requires powerful illumination, which can cause phototoxic damage to the cells and increases the cost of microscopy. We have developed a filter system to excite fluorescent dyes using a conventional transmission microscope equipped with a halogen lamp. This method allows us to observe previously invisible cell organelles, such as the metaphase spindle of oocytes, without causing phototoxicity. Cells remain healthy even after intensive manipulation under fluorescence observation, such as during bovine, porcine and mouse somatic cell cloning using nuclear transfer. This method does not require expensive epifluorescence equipment and so could help to reduce the science gap between developed and developing countries.

  • Of the Periodic Table

    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.

    Halides and Halogens. What Do I Need to Know? John Vivari, Nordson EFD

    Halides and Halogens. What do I need to know? John Vivari, Nordson EFD Abstract With halogen-containing substances in the public eye due to scrutiny by the European Union and a variety of non- governmental organizations (NGOs) as possible additions to the list of substances banned from electronics, we at EFD have received numerous inquiries from customers asking how this subject will affect them and their processes. Having just overcome the hurdle of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), they want to know what halogens and halides are, and what changes they should be prepared for if required to stop using them. Halide-free materials are not new. Some segments of the electronics industry have been sensitive to halides and their significance for decades. This paper will give the reader a working knowledge of halogens and halides. Armed with this education, the reader will be able to make informed decisions when required to use halogen-free materials, either because regulations dictate it or social pressure makes acceptance preferable to resistance. Key Words: halide, halogen, bromine, chlorine, flame retardant, RoHS What are halogens and halides? damage. Brominated flame retardant use is not limited to electronics.
