Element uniqueness

A hydrogen atom or a helium cation contains Just one electron, but nearly all other atoms and ions contain collections of electrons. In a multielectron atom, each electron affects the properties of all the other electrons. These electron-electron interactions make the orbital energies of eveiy element unique. 

Virtually all substances cire made of atoms. The universe seems to use about 120 unique atomic LEGO blocks to build neat things like galaxies and people and whatnot. All atoms cire made of the Scime three subatomic particles the proton, the electron, and the neutron. Different types of atoms (in other words, different elements) have different combinations of these pcirticles, which gives each element unique properties. For example ... 

The entrance to the active-site cleft is made even narrower in renins as a consequence of differences in the positions and composition of several well-defined loops and secondary structure elements. Unique to the renins is a cis proline, Prol 11, which caps a helix (hN2) and contributes to the subsites S3 and... 

Table 4.6). Specifically, the methods used were to (1) add a tag (type of atom or physical change tracked in these calculations) (2) remove a tag element from the resin during reaction or (3) use a tag element unique to the resin before and after reaction. Error was estimated by accessing limitations of elemental analyses and known resin functionalization error. While the third case listed could not be applied to the phenylacetylene... 

The crucial additional property of our functors is that the elements in G(R) are given by finding the solutions in R of some family of polynomial equations (with coefficients in k). In most of the examples this is obvious the elements in SL2(A), for instance, are given by quadruples a, b, c, d in R satisfying the equation ad —be = 1. Invertibility can be expressed in this manner because an element uniquely determines its inverse if it has one. That is, the elements x in G (A) correspond precisely to the solutions in R of the equation xy = 1. 

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a relatively new treatment of traumatic memories that involves elements of exposure therapy and CBT, combined with techniques (eye movements, hand taps, sounds) that create an alteration of attention back and forth across the person s midline. While the theory and research are still evolving with this form of treatment, there is some evidence that the therapeutic element unique to EMDR, attentional alteration, may facilitate accessing and processing traumatic material. 

Deduction of the absolute stereochemistry of 1 awaited the independent synthesis of several building blocks. Ultimately, three successful enantioselective routes have been completed to the present time by the Murai, Paquette, and White research groups. In order to facilitate comparison of the tactical design elements unique to each accomplishment, the construction of each structural sector is dealt with individually. 

In a sense, the chemists also avoided the physical issue of whether elements were necessary in a mechanistic universe by focusing on the functional aspects of the material world. Simply by establishing that elements had unique characteristics, they could differentiate matter. Elements could be identified, classified, isolated, and used in experiments. If Descartes, Boyle, and Newton pictured matter as some form of prime particles differentiated only by proportion, mass, or size, it did not really matter to chemists. So long as the resulting products had unique and unchanging properties, the designation element was both practical and scientifically justified. While what made an element unique would continue to be a profound scientific question, by the beginning of the nineteenth century chemists were convinced that elements were real and that they served as a sound basis for scientific research. 

RNA Polymerase II. Promoters for RNA polymerase 0, like prokaryotic promoters, include a set of conserved-sequence elements that define the start site and recruit the polymerase. However, the promoter can contain any combination of a number of possible elements. Unique to eukaryotes, tliey also include enhancer elements that can be very distant (more than 1 kb) from the start site (p. 838). 

We could not be sure because, while this was the only known source, there were no distinguishing elements unique to these polypropylenes (electron microprobe and LAMMA showed Tl, but that Is the usual catalyst In polypropylenes). The "proof" came when a different vendor s filter paper (without nodules of any type) was used without subsequent problems. 

Mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid and sufficiently volatile at room temperature. These particular properties make this element uniquely suited for determination without an atomiser after reduction to the elemental state and transfer into the vapor phase and into the optical path of the absorption spectrometer [16]. 

Because the number of protons distinguishes one type of atom from another. It dictates how many electrons are present in the neutral atom and this is what makes atoms of different elements unique. 

Stoichiometric YBa2Cu30v 6 (5=0) is a bilayer cuprate which is slightly above optimal hole doping, with a superconducting transition temperature a few degrees below the maximum value of 94 K found for 5 = 0.05. Its crystal structure (fig. 7) has, in common with all other HTS, planar Cu02 layers, with each bilayer separated by an atom of Y (or other rare-earth element). Unique to Y123, the interlayers are formed from quasi-one-... 

Because the molecular matrix was augmented with a unit matrix, the pivot columns together form a unit submatrix indicating the key elements and key components. Key elements of a certain chemical mixture are those the amounts of which cannot be determined from the amounts of other elements key components are those the amounts of which, together with the amounts of the key elements, uniquely determine the amounts of the other, nonkey components. 

These four mechanistic elements are the foundation upon which you will build an understanding of organic reaction mechanisms. They are far and away the most common however, they are not the only mechanistic elements you will see. Once in a while, you will encounter a reaction with a unique mechanistic element specific to the particular molecules involved. For example. Section 6.4 describes a mechanistic element unique to hydroboration reactions. In addition, we will describe other important mechanistic elements, such as 1,2 shifts (Section 6.3C), that occur in several reactions.
