Element ranking list

The picture was drawn in 1864. The first International Chemistry Congress had taken place in Karlsruhe in 1860. The atomic weights had been agreed upon. Indium was discovered in 1863 and already added to the ranks of the 64 known elements. The discoverers still had the right to name the compounds they uncovered. And how were the elements ordered The elements were listed ac-... 

One of the key components of such a scheme was provided in I860 by the Italian chemist Stanislao Cannizzaro, who announced at an international chemical conference in Karlsruhe that the work of his compatriot Amedeo Avogadro provided an improved list of the atomic weights of the elements. This list allowed an accurate ranking of the elements by weight, from the lightest (hydrogen) to the heaviest. 

Fig. 3.3 Elements of the Euler-Venn diagrams represent compounds that were found among the first 5% of the similarity-ranked list that results from retrospective screening with the (a) COX2, (b) HIV protease and (c) MMP datasets of the COBRA dataset. The Manhattan distance...

Table 5.8 Ranking list of elements, based on mass-% (cf. Table 2.13 and Fig. 2.2).

Detailed inspection of ranking lists reveals that the top positions are usually occupied by molecular formulas containing several elements. This is because the number of possible fragment formulas are higher for these candidates than for those made of few elements. In particular, molecular formulas made of several monoisotopic elements... 

The diagonal elements of P sum up to three, the number of variables to be determined, and rank the importance of each peak in that determination. The adjusted values that satisfy the model are calculated according to equation (5.4.24) and listed in Table 5.22. 

Symmetry restrictions for third- and fourth-order anharmonic temperature parameters are Used in the International Tables for X-ray Crystallography Vol. IV (1974). A more complete list for elements up to rank eight has been derived by Kuhs (1984). 

Ca is a comparatively difficult element for the body to absorb and digest. It is essentially only available for consumption associated with various other moieties (e.g., citrate, phosphate, and other anions). Each Ca source has unique physical, structural, and chemical properties such as mass, density, coordination chemistry, and solubility that are largely determined by the anions associated with the Ca +. Aqueous solubility of various Ca salts can vary markedly and comparisons are frequently made under standardized conditions. The water solubility of CCM is moderate when ranked versus other Ca sources frequently used as dietary supplements and food/beverage fortificants. The solubility of CCM (6 2 3 molar ratio) is 1.10-g salt in 100 ml of H2O at 25 °C (Fox et ah, 1993a). Table 6.4 lists the solubility of various Ca sources in water at specific temperatures, and also includes some information on potential sensory characteristics. 

This will be called the module of elements. The molecular species (without representation of structure) are defined as linear combinations of these elements (P, Def. 1) and we shall consider mixtures of s distinguishable molecular species. The mixture module consists of all lists of s species,, , j /2, ..., sQ, the only restriction being that they be formed from the fixed set of elements, 33i,..., %T. Let p = [/3(] be a matrix of full rank t (t S s), which may be called the atomic matrix of the mixture /3. We lose no generality by... 

Arsenic is ubiquitous in the Earth s crust arsenic ranks 20th among the elements in abundance. In nature, arsenic is widely but sparsely distributed. It is associated with igneous and sedimentary rocks, particularly with sulfidic ores. Arsenic enters the aquatic environment indirectly from industrial and other air emission, and directly from localized effluent discharges. There is general agreement that most man-caused atmospheric input is due to smelting operations and fossil-fuel combustion. Arsenic emission to the atmosphere was calculated with the factors listed in Table 2 . ... 

Tin is not very abundant in nature. It ranks about 50th on the list of elements most commonly found in Earth s crust. Estimates are that the crust contains about 1 to 2 parts per million of tin. 

If there is more than one element designated as a central atom, these elements are ranked according to the order in which they appear in Table VI. The later an element appears in the sequence of Table VI, the earlier it comes in the list of central atom symbols in the formula as well as in the list of central atom names in the name of the complex. 

The origins of the chemical elements must rank highly in any intelligent citizen s list of questions about the natural world. Thanks to the efforts of observers and theoreticians over the last half-century, the citizen may now be provided with answers to Where, when, and how were the elements made This remarkable achievement of astrophysics provides one focus for this set of lectures. It is impossible to tell in the available space the complete story of nucleosynthesis from hydrogen to uranium (and beyond) with full justice to the observational and theoretical puzzles that had to be addressed, j... 

However, beeaiLse of Eq. (B.47) the elements of the nth column are identical to the ones forming column n+1 regardless of k such that all (n+1) x (n+1) subdeterminants of ip vanish on account of statement 4 of our list of elementary properties of determinants. This, in turn, proves that the rank of matrix ip is equal to the rank of matrix p. ... 

On average, the 16 km-thick Earth s crust contains about 60 mg Li kg thus, lithium ranks 27th in the frequency list of elements (Ealbe and Regitz 1999a). The lithium concentration of the sea water is around 0.17mgkg (Bruland 1983). Due to an ambient air level of lithium of 4 ng m in the USA, Weiner (1991) estimated the daily respired load of lithium in humans to be 0.06 pg per day. Thus, ambient air... 

Several approaches may be utilized to assess equilibrium, including textural analysis, examination of element partitioning, evaluation of chemical zoning, and thermodynamic modeling. Pyle et al. (2001) addressed the issue of textural equilibrium between monazite and xenotime and between monazite and garnet and proposed the criteria listed in Tables 1 and 2, ranked in order of confidence level. Because of the limited diffusivities in these three minerals, however, textural criteria alone are not particularly robust indicators of chemical equilibrium, and need to be combined with other approaches, as discussed below.
