What is an atom?

rhaylagar — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 07:48:06 +0000

Ancient Greece is known to be the birthplace of atom. It was when Democritus, a natural philosopher who proclaimed that matter was composed of indestructible particles called atom. He first described these particles using the Greek word “atomos” which means uncuttable or the smallest indivisible particle of matter, something that cannot be divided. Democritus even extrapolated that matter was composed of these tiny particles that formed the mass of the substances. It was a radical idea at that time but when John Dalton proposed his modern atomic theory of matter in 1803, the idea was revived. Read details at http://www.helium.com/items/1351260

An overview about the chemical element Rubidium

rhaylagar — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 07:44:15 +0000

If we take a look at the periodic table of elements, Rubidium is a chemical element with the symbol Rb and atomic weight of 37. Its name was derived from the word “rubidus” which means deepest red. Although it is described as a soft, silvery-white metal, it gives a reddish-violet color to a flame, hence its name. It was recorded to have a melting point of 390C or equivalent to 1020F and a boiling point of 6880C or equivalent to 1,2700F. Read details at http://www.helium.com/items/1352179

Strontium is an alkaline earth metal using a chemical symbol Sr, with atomic number of 38, atomic weight of 87.62 and atomic volume of 33.7 cc/mole. It can be described as a soft silver-white but it turns yellow when exposed to air making it a yellowish metallic element that is highly reactive chemically. Known to be a malleable metal, it was observed to have a melting point of 10420K and boiling point of 16570K. READ MORE AT http://www.helium.com/items/1354959

An overview about the chemical element Ruthenium

rhaylagar — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 06:02:46 +0000

A chemical element that is considered rare transition metal, very hard and brittle. It is silver gray in color and one of the platinum metals from group eight of the periodic table of element together with rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. It is used as hardener in alloys of platinum and palladium that even only small amounts of it can increase the hardness of platinum and palladium. The corrosion resistance of titanium is increased markedly by the addition of a small amount of ruthenium. READ MORE AT http://www.helium.com/items/1354952

One of the well known chemical elements is Silver. It is a white, lustrous transition element that is represented by the chemical symbol Ag which was derived from a Latin word “Argentum” which means silver. The name silver came from an old English or Anglo-Saxon word “seolfor” which also means silver. It has an atomic number of 47, atomic weight of 107.87 and atomic volume of 10.3 cc/mol. Silver is slightly harder than gold. It is also described as ductile and malleable metal with a melting point of 961.930C or 17610F, boiling point of 22.120C, specific gravity of 10.50 (200C) and valences of 1 and 2. In the periodic table of elements, Silver is part of period 5 with elements like Zirconium, Tin and Iodine and belongs to group 11 family with Copper, Gold and Roentgenium.
