Iron is notable for the range of electronic spin states to which it gives rise. The values of S which are found include every integral and half-integral value from 0 to i.e. every value possible for a d-block element (Table 25.4). 

In 1751 the Swedish mineralogist, A. F. Cronstedt, discovered a heavy mineral from which in 1803 M. H. Klaproth in Germany and, independently, i. i. Berzelius and W. Hisinger in Sweden, isolated what was thought to be a new oxide (or earth ) which was named ceria after the recently discovered asteroid, Ceres. Between 1839 and 1843 this earth, and the previously isolated yttria (p. 944), were shown by the Swedish surgeon C. G. Mosander to be mixtures from which, by 1907, the oxides of Sc, Y, La and the thirteen lanthanides other than Pm were to be isolated. The small village of Ytterby near Stockholm is celebrated in the names of no less than four of these elements (Table 30.1). 

In the parallel configuration, the same potential difference occurs across each and every element with the total current being the algebraic sum of the current flowing through each individual circuit element. Table 2-35 summarizes the equivalent resistance, conductance, capacitance, and inductance of series-parallel configurations of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. 

Hydrogen is a diatomic gas at normal conditions. Its melting point is 15.9°K and its normal boiling point is 20.4°K. This is the second lowest boiling point of any element. Table 6-VII lists these properties.

Hydrogen is unusual because it can form both a cation (1I+) and ail anion (11 ). Moreover, its intermediate electronegativity (2.2 on the Pauling scale) means that it can also form covalent bonds with all the nonmetals and metalloids. Because hydrogen forms compounds with so many elements (Table 14.2 also see Section 14.2), we shall meet more of its compounds when we study the other elements. 

The importance of the basal medium in culturing normal cells was demonstrated by Dr. Richard Ham (Ham and McKeehan, 1979). Dr. Ham s laboratory developed a number of different types of culture media, in which the concentrations of the individual nutritional components have been optimized to support the growth of specific types of normal, differentiated cells. The most widely used is nutrient mixture FI2, which contains nonessential, as well as essential, amino acids, a number of lipids, and trace elements (Table 5). 

Not surprisingly, the acid-base balances within the Earth system almost all involve elements of high abundance, i.e., elements that have low atomic number. In many cases, the acidic molecule is an oxygen-containing oxidation product of an element. Table 16-1 lists the main acids and bases in the global environment. The sources of these acids are chemical reactions of reduced forms of the element involved. Both gas and aqueous phase reactions exist for production of acids. 

The written name of a compound includes the names of the elements it contains and information about the numbers of atoms of each element. The elements have to occur in some order, and this order is set by the same guidelines as for the chemical formula (see Section 3-11. Names can contain element names, roots derived from element names, and prefixes indicating the number of atoms of each element. Tables and 3 list the more important roots and prefixes that appear in the names of binaiy compounds. We can summarize the rules for naming binary compounds in three guidelines ... 

Cold plasma with reduced temperature is another way to cope with the most annoying problems from interferences, even in the case of low-resolution instruments [394], The effect consists of weaker ionisation conditions coming close to chemical ionisation [395]. In particular, argides are reduced by orders of magnitude in comparison to conventional ICP operation. However, at lower plasma temperatures, evaporation of analyte material is considerably reduced. Reducing the plasma temperature also has a dramatic effect on the ionisation (and therefore sensitivity) of many elements. Table 8.65 shows the ion population as a function of plasma temperature and ionisation potential. As a result, the cold plasma technique is only advantageous for a rather small number of elements and applications.

P group elements. Molecules with p group elements already have been studied with the P3 approximation and they probably will remain inviting objects of study with this method. Errors obtained for the p group elements (Table 5.5) are somewhat larger than those found for organic molecules. Groups VI and VH are especially problematic. 

A selected list of reference materials (sediments as well as biological tissues) distributed by several Canadian, U.S., and E.U. sources shows a wide range of solid samples that could be used for comparative analysis of major organic elements (Table 4.2). These materials are widely available and have been analyzed for at least some constituents. In addition, these materials are homogeneous and can be expected to exhibit stable compositions over time. All of the thirty or so listed reference materials,...
