Manufacture. Phosphoms sulfides are manufactured commercially by direct reaction of the elements. Elemental phosphoms and sulfur are measured into a reaction vessel containing a heel of molten phosphoms sulfide. The reaction can be batch or continuous. The ratio of phosphoms to sulfur in the feed determines which phosphoms sulfur compound (Table 5) is formed. The reaction temperature can be the boiling point or lower. For the boiling reactor (27,28), the phosphoms sulfide product is first purified by distillation and then condensed to a Hquid. Alternatively, the Hquid product can be formed directly in a nondistiUed process (29—31), which may involve a subsequent distillation step (30), and in which the phosphoms is often cleaned up prior to use (30—32). For either process, the Hquid phosphoms sulfide product is soHdified, and usually sized to form a commercial material. 

A further group of elements, the transuranium elements, has been synthesized by artificial nuclear reactions in the period from 1940 onwards their relation to the periodic table is discussed fully in Chapter 31 and need not be repeated here. Perhaps even more striking today are the predictions, as yet unverified, for the properties of the currently non-existent superheavy elements.Elements up to lawrencium (Z = 103) are actinides (5f) and the 6d transition series starts with element 104. So far only elements 104-112 have been synthesized, ) and, because there is as yet no agreement on trivial names for some of these elements (see pp. 1280-1), they are here referred to by their atomic numbers. A systematic naming scheme was approved by lUPAC in 1977 but is not widely used by researchers in the field. It involves the use of three-letter symbols derived directly from the atomic number by using the... 

X-ray emission spectrography developed in a way that made it convenient to segregate as light elements—elements ordinarily beyond reach of the method—those of atomic number lower than titanium. Hydrogen and helium are, of course, excluded because they emit no x-ray lines (1.19). In the early days of x-ray emission spectrography, its relative uselessness for the determination of elements between helium and titanium counted heavily against it in comparison with emission spectrography in the visible or ultraviolet.

Never exceed an octet for second-row elements. Elements in the second row (C, N, O, F) have only four orbitals in their valence shell. Each of these four orbitals can be used either to form a bond or to hold a lone pair. Each bond requires the use of one orbital, and each lone pair requires the use of one orbital. So the second-row elements can never have five or six bonds the most is four. Similarly, they can never have four bonds and a lone pair, because this would also require five orbitals. For the same reason, they can never have three bonds and two lone pairs. The sum of (bonds) + (lone pairs) for a second-row element can never exceed the number four. Let s see some examples of arrow pushing that violate this second commandment ... 

Abstract Organic syntheses catalyzed by iron complexes have attracted considerable attention because iron is an abundant, inexpensive, and environmentally benign metal. It has been documented that various iron hydride complexes play important roles in catalytic cycles such as hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, hydro-boration, hydrogen generation, and element-element bond formation. This chapter summarizes the recent developments, mainly from 2000 to 2009, of iron catalysts involving hydride ligand(s) and the role of Fe-H species in catalytic cycles. 

Radioactive elements Elements capable of emitting alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. 

Transition elements Elements in Groups 3 through 12 in the periodic table. These elements have partially filled d orbitals, but the number of valence electrons varies. Consequently, they have widely different chemical properties. 

Figure 4.3 Above is the periodic table of elements. Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
