Chromium in the crystalline form is a steel-gray, lustrous, hard metal characterized by an atomic weight of 51.996, an atomic number of 24, a density of 7.14 g/cm3, a melting point of 1857°C, and a boiling point of 2672 C. Four chromium isotopes occur naturally Cr-50 (4.3%), -52 (83.8%), -53 (9.6%), and -54 (2.4%), and seven are man-made. Elemental chromium is very stable but is not usually found pure in nature. Chromium can exist in oxidation states ranging from -2 to +6, but is most frequently found in the environment in the trivalent (+3) and hexavalent (+6) oxidation states. The +3 and +6 forms are the most important because the +2, +4, and +5 forms are unstable and are rapidly converted to +3, which in turn is oxidized to +6 (Towill et al. 1978 Langard and Norseth 1979 Ecological Analysts 1981 USPHS 1993).

Homolytic oxidations involve free radical intermediates and are catalyzed by first-row transition metals characterized by one-electron oxidation-reduction steps, eg. Com/Con, Mnln/Mnn. The hydrocarbon substrate is generally not coordinated to the metal and is oxidized outside the coordination sphere. Consequently, the oxidation is not very selective and does not often preserve the stereochemical configuration of the substrate.

Metal connectivity is advantageous. Transition metal characterization such as with electrochemical and microscopic analysis compliments standard organic -type methods (e.g., 13C and H NMR) and further enhances characterization of the large multidendri-tic structure(s). Cyclic voltammetry data strongly suggest the connection of branched structures.1821... 

In 1915, Ehrlich and Karrer published details of complex salts of arsenobenzene and the heavy metals characterized by great stability and deep color. Only silver arsphenamine and silver neoarsephenamine found a place therapeutically, [69].

The cupric compounds, CuX2, show a marked resemblance to those of the metals of Group II. and to those of other metals characterized by their bivalency, an example being the similarity of constitution and isomorphism of cupric sulphate with the sulphates of magnesium and zinc, and with the ous sulphates of iron, nickel, cobalt, and manganese. All these sulphates combine with those of the alkali-metals to form... 

Almost two decades ago theoreticians predicted that in a quasi-one-dimensional metal, characterized as having a one-dimensional gas of weakly interacting electrons, instabilities could arise leading to transitions to various ground states, such as charge density wave (CDW), spin density wave (SDW), or superconducting (61). Previously, it had been predicted that electron-phonon coupling in a one-dimensional... 

Electropositive metals characterized by low standard reduction potentials (alkali metals. Mg, Zn) have been frequently used for the reduction of transition metal halides in the presence of carbon monoxide. The finely divided reducing metal is previously activated by one of the conventional methods. Ethers are frequently used as reaction media. 

Case 1. The alcohol is non-activated (no donor group in 6 or y position of the alcohol) and the metal has at least two vacancies. The latter are occupied by the alcohol and the isocyanate respectively and the process takes place in accordance to Fig. 6. This mechanism implies metals characterized by at least partially or completely occupied d orbitals with an energy similar to the one of the first unoccupied s, p levels (Sn2+, Cu2+-----). 

Thus, the electronegativity values are linearly dependent on a parameter similar to the polarizing action of the cation. The dependence of the solubility on the Allred-Rochow electronegativity is divided into two sharply bounded and practically linear plots with close slopes for 3d-elements and for alkaline-earth metal-oxides (see Fig. 3.7.13). Since the slopes of these dependences are close, different positions of these plots may be explained by different relationships between the nuclear charge and Z for metals characterized by different electronic configurations. From the above-said it may be concluded that in high-temperature alkali-metal halide melts a correlation of metal-oxide solubilities with the crystal-lochemical radii of the cations is considerably simpler, i.e. it does not require the introduction of any corrections of the nucleus charge, such as Z. ... 

Another important source for potential systematic uncertainty stems from the fact that the Li abundance is not directly observed but rather, inferred from an absorption line strength and a model stellar atmosphere. Its determination depends on a set of physical parameters and a model-dependent analysis of a stellar spectrum. Among these parameters, are the metallicity characterized by the iron abundance (though this is a small effect), the surface gravity which for hot stars can lead to an underestimate of up to 0.09 dex if log g is overestimated by 0.5, though this effect is negligible in cooler stars. Typical uncertainties in log g are 0.1 0.3. The most important source for error is the surface...

The activation-diffusion control of electrodeposition process is a characteristic of metals characterized by the medium exchange current density values and lower hydrogen overpotentials. Copper is the typical representative of this group of metals, and the polarization curve recorded from 0.10 M CUSO4 in 0.50 M H2SO4 is shown in Fig. 1.10a. 

For metals characterized by io < A (electrodeposition under mixed activation-diffusion control e.g., Cu), both rji and rjc increase with increasing concentration of the depositing ions, indicating a decrease of the ioHi. ratios with the increasing concentration of metal ions [111]. The difference between i/c and //j (see Eqs. (2.46) and (2.47)) is given by ... 

For metals characterized by io Jl (electrodeposition in mixed ohmic-diffusion control of the electrodeposition e.g., Pb and Ag), increasing concentration of metal ions causes a decrease in both and [111]. Simultaneously, opposite to electrodeposition of metals in mixed activation-diffusion control, increasing the concentration of depositing ions leads to a strong increase in the io/t r tio. 

The main result of this section is that Ce is not kicked out of the 4f series proper by pressure. The phases a, a"...Ce and also a-Ce are in our view clear-cut tetravalent 6s5d4f-band metals with an appreciable 4f admixture in both cases. In a, a". .. Ce, the 4f component does not seem to be in any respect detrimental to superconductivity. On the other hand, a-Ce is probably a metal characterized by strong Coulomb correlations on the 4f shell and consequently a low transition temperature Tc (Coqblin, 1971 MacPherson, 1971 Koskimaki and Gschneidner, 1975).
