Gallium Research Paper

147 Words1 Page

Gallium is a silvery-blue color and soft metal. Solid Gallium is brittle and a worse electrical conductor than lead. It is near the non-metals on the periodic table. In its solid state, Gallium fractures conchoidally, meaning the fractured surfaces are curved like a shell. It has an atomic mass of 69.723. The melting point of Gallium is 29.76 °C (302.91 K) with a boiling point of 2200 °C (2473 K). It has the second largest liquid range of any element and is one of the few metals that is liquid near room temperature and it can melt in your hand. Liquid clings to glass or wets it and similar surfaces. Gallium also has the unusual property that it expands when it freezes. Gallium has 31 Protons and Electrons and 40 Neutrons (in its most abundant

    Mercury 's surface is extremely barren. Its proximity to the sun and its lack of an atmosphere mean that this planet 's surface is hot and dry. The surface is heavily cratered, having been hit by many rocky bodies. With no geologic activity to re-cover the surface, it will remain cratered, rocky, and barren for the remainder of its lifetime. Every thing is still, due to lack of wind, which also makes it very hot.

    A typical Ag-In phase diagram is shown in Figure-1, where seven equilibrium phases exist, out of which two are intermetallic phases i.e. Ag2In and AgIn2 also known as φ and γ phases, respectively [9]. The silver solid solution of Ag-In has solubility of indium up to 21 wt. % with a wide temperature range. Contrarily, the indium rich solid solution has lower solubility of silver i.e. ~1.0 wt. % of silver.

    My Element villain's name is plutonumous and his main element is plutonium. I decided to pick plutonium out of all the elements of the periodic table because it is known to be the most dangerous element and that's what villains are “dangerous”. My villain looks really generous, brilliant and strong since he is covered with layers of plutonium as well as plutonium in his veins this is done to his advantage because plutonium has a very high melting point so he could go through fire without being hurt, he also has really big eyes that glow green to make him look scary they become red depending on his mood, he has normal mouth since that doesn't really grant him any advantages however he's got really big ears so his hearing could be very precise

    Selenium(Se) is a toxic heavy metal ion of environmental significance that is 78.96 g.mol -1 in atomic weight. According to National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)[1] , recommended exposure limit (REL) for selenium is 0.2 mg/m3.Compared to acetone, selenium is more toxic because RELs of selenium is lower than that of acetone which is 2.38 mg/m3.However,as a heavy metal, selenium is less toxic than its similar which is lead. RELs of lead is 0.050 mg/m3 which means humans are able to be exposed to the environment with selenium with higher concentration. Lead is more toxic than selenium based on RELs.

    Gamma ray bursts are short, but massive explosions of high frequency electromagnetic radiation. The initial bursts are usually followed by a longer afterglow emitted at a longer wavelength. These bursts (in minutes) give out more energy than the sun during its entire lifetime (10 billion years) and are the most powerful explosions known in the entire universe. They can last from 10 milliseconds to several hours. Gamma-ray bursts are divided into two groups, long and short, depending on if they last greater or less than 2 seconds.
