WEBNeurodiversity in the chemical sciences. Neurodivergent individuals make up a significant proportion of the chemistry community, each with unique talents and skills. Our new web page – an addition to our Disability Hub – contains information, resources and guidance to support inclusive working practices for neurodivergent chemists.
Phosphorus - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic …
WEBNina Notman. Phosphorus is a non-metal that sits just below nitrogen in group 15 of the periodic table. This element exists in several forms, of which white and red are the best known. White phosphorus is definitely the more exciting of the two.
Carbon - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBThe nano-forms, fullerenes and graphene, appear as black or dark brown, soot-like powders. Uses. Carbon is unique among the elements in its ability to form strongly bonded chains, sealed off by hydrogen atoms. These hydrocarbons, extracted naturally as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), are mostly used as fuels.
Lithium - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBLithium is a soft, silvery-white, metal that heads group 1, the alkali metals group, of the periodic table of the elements. It reacts vigorously with water. Storing it is a problem. It cannot be kept under oil, as sodium can, because it is less dense and floats. So it is stored by being coated with petroleum jelly.
Calcium - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBCalcium is a silvery-white, soft metal that tarnishes rapidly in air and reacts with water. Uses. Calcium metal is used as a reducing agent in preparing other metals such as thorium and uranium. It is also used as an alloying agent for aluminium, beryllium, copper, lead and magnesium alloys.
Oxygen - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBOxygen. 8. 15.999. Glossary. GroupA vertical column in the periodic table. Members of a group typically have similar properties and electron configurations in their outer shell. PeriodA horizontal row in the periodic table. The atomic number of each element increases by one, reading from left to right.
Neon - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBNeon is also used to make high-voltage indicators and switching gear, lightning arresters, diving equipment and lasers. Liquid neon is an important cryogenic refrigerant. It has over 40 times more refrigerating capacity per unit volume than liquid helium, and more than 3 times that of liquid hydrogen. Biological role.
Aluminium - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic …
WEBAppearance. Aluminium is a silvery-white, lightweight metal. It is soft and malleable. Uses. Aluminium is used in a huge variety of products including cans, foils, kitchen utensils, window frames, beer kegs and aeroplane parts. This is because of its particular properties.
Tungsten - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBTungsten is the heaviest metal to have a known biological role. Some bacteria use tungsten in an enzyme to reduce carboxylic acids to aldehydes. The principal tungsten-containing ores are scheelite and wolframite. The metal is obtained commercially by reducing tungsten oxide with hydrogen or carbon.
