    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.

The small differences in pressure disappear if lower gas densities are used. Further experiments showed that all low-density gases obey the equation pV = nRT. Here R = 8.31 K/mol ⋅ K and is known as the "gas constant." The equation itself is known as the "ideal gas law." The constant R can be expressed -23 as R = kNA . Here k is called the Boltzmann constant and is equal to 1.38 × 10 J/K. N If we substitute R as well as n = in the ideal gas law we get the equivalent form: NA pV = NkT.

    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.
  • Periodic Trends in the Main Group Elements

    Periodic Trends in the Main Group Elements

    Chemistry of The Main Group Elements 1. Hydrogen Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, but it accounts for less than 1% (by mass) in the Earth’s crust. It is the third most abundant element in the living system. There are three naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen (1H) - the most abundant isotope, deuterium (2H), and tritium 3 ( H) which is radioactive. Most of hydrogen occurs as H2O, hydrocarbon, and biological compounds. Hydrogen is a colorless gas with m.p. = -259oC (14 K) and b.p. = -253oC (20 K). Hydrogen is placed in Group 1A (1), together with alkali metals, because of its single electron in the valence shell and its common oxidation state of +1. However, it is physically and chemically different from any of the alkali metals. Hydrogen reacts with reactive metals (such as those of Group 1A and 2A) to for metal hydrides, where hydrogen is the anion with a “-1” charge. Because of this hydrogen may also be placed in Group 7A (17) together with the halogens. Like other nonmetals, hydrogen has a relatively high ionization energy (I.E. = 1311 kJ/mol), and its electronegativity is 2.1 (twice as high as those of alkali metals). Reactions of Hydrogen with Reactive Metals to form Salt like Hydrides Hydrogen reacts with reactive metals to form ionic (salt like) hydrides: 2Li(s) + H2(g) 2LiH(s); Ca(s) + H2(g) CaH2(s); The hydrides are very reactive and act as a strong base. It reacts violently with water to produce hydrogen gas: NaH(s) + H2O(l) NaOH(aq) + H2(g); It is also a strong reducing agent and is used to reduce TiCl4 to titanium metal: TiCl4(l) + 4LiH(s) Ti(s) + 4LiCl(s) + 2H2(g) Reactions of Hydrogen with Nonmetals Hydrogen reacts with nonmetals to form covalent compounds such as HF, HCl, HBr, HI, H2O, H2S, NH3, CH4, and other organic and biological compounds.

    Ideal Gasses Is Known As the Ideal Gas Law

    ESCI 341 – Atmospheric Thermodynamics Lesson 4 –Ideal Gases References: An Introduction to Atmospheric Thermodynamics, Tsonis Introduction to Theoretical Meteorology, Hess Physical Chemistry (4th edition), Levine Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics, Callen IDEAL GASES An ideal gas is a gas with the following properties: There are no intermolecular forces, except during collisions. All collisions are elastic. The individual gas molecules have no volume (they behave like point masses). The equation of state for ideal gasses is known as the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law was discovered empirically, but can also be derived theoretically. The form we are most familiar with, pV nRT . Ideal Gas Law (1) R has a value of 8.3145 J-mol1-K1, and n is the number of moles (not molecules). A true ideal gas would be monatomic, meaning each molecule is comprised of a single atom. Real gasses in the atmosphere, such as O2 and N2, are diatomic, and some gasses such as CO2 and O3 are triatomic. Real atmospheric gasses have rotational and vibrational kinetic energy, in addition to translational kinetic energy. Even though the gasses that make up the atmosphere aren’t monatomic, they still closely obey the ideal gas law at the pressures and temperatures encountered in the atmosphere, so we can still use the ideal gas law. FORM OF IDEAL GAS LAW MOST USED BY METEOROLOGISTS In meteorology we use a modified form of the ideal gas law. We first divide (1) by volume to get n p RT . V we then multiply the RHS top and bottom by the molecular weight of the gas, M, to get Mn R p T .

  • Three Related Topics on the Periodic Tables of Elements

    Three Related Topics on the Periodic Tables of Elements

    Three related topics on the periodic tables of elements Yoshiteru Maeno*, Kouichi Hagino, and Takehiko Ishiguro Department oｆ physics, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan * [email protected] (The Foundations of Chemistry: received 30 May 2020; accepted 31 July 2020) Abstaract: A large variety of periodic tables of the chemical elements have been proposed. It was Mendeleev who proposed a periodic table based on the extensive periodic law and predicted a number of unknown elements at that time. The periodic table currently used worldwide is of a long form pioneered by Werner in 1905. As the first topic, we describe the work of Pfeiffer (1920), who refined Werner’s work and rearranged the rare-earth elements in a separate table below the main table for convenience. Today’s widely used periodic table essentially inherits Pfeiffer’s arrangements. Although long-form tables more precisely represent electron orbitals around a nucleus, they lose some of the features of Mendeleev’s short-form table to express similarities of chemical properties of elements when forming compounds. As the second topic, we compare various three-dimensional helical periodic tables that resolve some of the shortcomings of the long-form periodic tables in this respect. In particular, we explain how the 3D periodic table “Elementouch” (Maeno 2001), which combines the s- and p-blocks into one tube, can recover features of Mendeleev’s periodic law. Finally we introduce a topic on the recently proposed nuclear periodic table based on the proton magic numbers (Hagino and Maeno 2020). Here, the nuclear shell structure leads to a new arrangement of the elements with the proton magic-number nuclei treated like noble-gas atoms.
  • Biological Effects of Noble Gases

    Biological Effects of Noble Gases

    Physiol. Res. 56 (Suppl. 1): S39-S44, 2007 Biological Effects of Noble Gases J. RŮŽIČKA, J. BENEŠ, L. BOLEK, V. MARKVARTOVÁ Department of Biophysics, Medical Faculty of Charles University, Plzeň, Czech Republic Received May 23, 2007 Accepted May 29, 2007 On-line available May 31, 2007 Summary Noble gases are known for their inertness. They do not react chemically with any element at normal temperature and pressure. Through that, some of them are known to be biologically active by their sedative, hypnotic and analgesic properties. Common inhalation anesthetics are characterized by some disadvantages (toxicity, decreased cardiac output, etc). Inhalation of xenon introduces anesthesia and has none of the above disadvantages, hence xenon seems to be the anesthetic gas of the future (with just one disadvantage – its cost). It is known that argon has similar anesthetic properties (under hyperbaric conditions), which is much cheaper and easily accessible. The question is if this could be used in clinical practice, in anesthesia of patients who undergo treatment in the hyperbaric chamber. Xenon was found to be organ-protective. Recent animal experiments indicated that xenon decreases infarction size after ischemic attack on brain or heart. The goal of our study is to check if hyperbaric argon has properties similar to those of xenon. Key words Noble gases • Xenon• Argon • Diving • Anesthesia • Stroke Introduction it is the point of this work. Above all, available information and our own observation concerning xenon Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon and argon will be gathered here. are elements of the eighth group of the periodic table of Argon is the longest known and the least rare gas elements.
