The porphyrins found in nature are compounds in which various side chains are substituted for the eight hydrogen atoms numbered in the porphin nucleus shown in Figure 32-1. As a simple means of showing these substitutions, Fischer proposed a shorthand formula in which the methenyl bridges are omitted and each pyrrole ring is shown as indicated with the eight... 

An effective way to determine the detailed electron configuration of any element is to use the periodic table to determine which subshell to fill next. Each s subshell holds a maximum of 2 electrons each p subshell holds a maximum of 6 electrons each d subshell holds a maximum of 10 electrons and each / subshell holds a maximum of 14 electrons (Table 17-5). These numbers match the numbers of elements in a given period in the various blocks. To get the electron configuration, start at hydrogen (atomic number = 1) and continue in order of atomic number, using the periodic table of Fig. 17-10. 

Nor were the astronauts the first to provide information about elements outside the earth. Astronomers, scanning the sky for light spectra from stars and galaxies, have calculated that the universe is composed of about 90% hydrogen (atomic number 1) and 9% helium (atomic number 2). All the other elements, which make up most of our earth, are an insignificant 1 percent of the total universe.

Atomic number. The number of protons in the nucleus- of an atom. The hundred or so known elements are usually arranged in the order of increasing atomic numbers for categorization purposes, with hydrogen (atomic number of one) the lightest, and uranium (atomic number of 92) one of the heaviest. 

Electrons are necessary for electricity to form because electricity is the result of electrons in motion. Inside a fuel cell, electrons are stripped of hydrogen atoms that enter the cell. These electrons are now free to travel through a circuit and provide electricity. Remember that hydrogens atomic number is 1, so it has 1 proton. A neutral hydrogen atom, then, must also contain 1 electron so that the charges balance. In a fuel cell, the stripped-off electrons and the other part of the hydrogen atom—the proton—are eventually combined with oxygen. This combination makes water. Because water is the only byproduct of this reaction, fuel cells produce very little pollution, unlike other methods used to produce electricity. 

An element is defined by its atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons can vary, however, which leads to the existence of isotopic forms of an element. So, for example, for hydrogen (atomic number 1), the normal isotope is ( H) and the other isotopic forms are deuterium ( H) and tritium (iH). Whereas deuterium is a stable isotope, tritium is unstable upon emission of an electron (p particle) and a neutrino (v) it is converted into helium ... 

At Astex, the initial partitioning of fragments into cocktails is achieved using a computational procedure that minimizes chemical similarity [43]. Fragments are described as feature vectors, which encode such properties as the number of donors/ acceptors/non-hydrogen atoms, number of five- and six-membered rings and their substitution patterns. The chemical dissimilarity between two molecules, d(i, j), is then calculated as the distance between the two vectors. 

Consider a simplified illustration of the foregoing QSAR examples. Consider a list of normal alkanes together with their water solubility and boiling points. A plot shows that solubility (in logarithmic form) is linear with number of carbon atoms and that boiling point is nonlinear. Such a relation is a QSAR based on the simple structure feature, number of carbon atoms. A linear equation captures all the structure information available in this data set. (The structure information could, of course, be represented in other ways, such as number of methylene groups, number of hydrogen atoms, number of carbon-carbon bonds, etc.) It is important to note here that no assumption has been made about the relation between water solubility and number of carbon atoms. This is an example of what Adamson has called a mechanism-free model.

The atomic number, the number of protons and hence the positive charge of the nucleus, determines the number of electrons that surround it. An electron has the same magnitude of electric charge as a proton, but opposite in sign. Therefore, for an atom to be electrically neutral the number of electrons outside the nucleus must be the same as the number of protons inside the nucleus. That is, the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number. Thus, hydrogen (atomic number 1) has one electron, carbon (atomic number 6) has six electrons, and so on, up to livermorium with its 116 electrons. Electrons are much lighter than protons and neutrons (by a factor of nearly 2,000), so their presence barely affects the mass of an atom. They have a profound effect on the chemical and physical properties of the element, and almost all chemistry can be traced to their behaviour. 

Three isotopes of hydrogen (atomic number 1) are known. Each has one proton in the nucleus and one electron. The first isotope (protium), without a neutron, has a mass number of 1 the second isotope (deuterium), with one neutron in the nucleus, has a mass number of 2 the third isotope (tritium), with two neutrons, has a mass number of 3 (see Figure 5.8).
