Building stones

Much building material has been derived from two monomineral sedimentary rocks gypsum (composed of hydrated calcium sulfate) and limestone, which consists of calcite (composed mostly of calcium carbonate). Freshwater and seawater contain dissolved calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate. Most limestone and gypsum are formed when, as a consequence of the evaporation of water, calcium sulfate and calcium carbonate precipitate out of the water solutions as either gypsum or limestone. Limestone is also formed as a result of the activity of living organisms. Many sea- and freshwater animals, such as snails, clams, and corals, as well as some water plants, draw

Corrosion by atmospheric sulfur dioxide should be considered in the development and evaluation of protective coatings (267,268). Sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid therefrom are highly damaging to carbonate building stones (269).

Sulfur dioxide emissions may affect building stone and ferrous and nonferrous metals. Sulfurous acid, formed from the reaction of sulfur dioxide with moisture, accelerates the corrosion of iron, steel, and zinc. Sulfur oxides react with copper to produce the green patina of copper sulfate on the surface of the copper. Acids in the form of gases, aerosols, or precipitation may chemically erode building materials such as marble, limestone, and dolomite. Of particular concern is the chemical erosion of historical monuments and works of art. Sulfurous and sulfuric acids formed from sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide when they react with moisture may also damage paper and leather.

The method of superposition of configurations as well as the method of different orbitals for different spins belong within the framework of the one-electron scheme, but, as soon as one introduces the interelectronic distance rijt a two-electron element has been accepted in the theory. In treating the covalent chemical bond and other properties related to electron pairs, it may actually seem more natural to consider two-electron functions as the fundamental building stones of the total wave function, and such a two-electron scheme has also been successfully developed (Hurley, Lennard-Jones, and Pople 1953, Schmid 1953).

Lignin may be defined as the incrusting material of the plant which is built up mainly, if not entirely, of phenylpropane building stones it carries the major part of the methoxyl content of the wood it is unhydrolyzable by acids readily oxidizable, soluble in hot alkali and bisulfite, and readily condenses with phenols and thio compounds (14). 

Although many suggestions have been advanced for the structure of lignin (15), establishment of a valid constitutional formula for this substance is still far from realized. It was considered (67) that the building stones of lignin are linked together by a methylene dioxv bridge... 

Lewis appropriated Bohr s new atom to try to unify the physical and chemical atom. If the Bohr-Sommerfeld orbits are in fixed positions and orientations, "they may be used as the building stones of an atom which has an essentially static character." 17 Bohr s dynamic theory works for the chemist, Lewis wrote, if the "average" position of an electron in a Bohr-Sommerfeld orbit is taken to correspond to the fixed position of the electron in Lewis s static chemical model. The outermost shell of electrons constitutes the "valence" electrons, and the remaining electrons constitute the "kernel." 18...
