WEBOur Parliamentary Affairs and Policy experts have scoured the manifestos ahead of the 4 July vote to see which ones align with our asks. A new RSC report launched today lays out the case for change and urges the next UK government to establish a dedicated agency ...
Lithium - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBLithium is a soft, silvery-white, metal that heads group 1, the alkali metals group, of the periodic table of the elements. It reacts vigorously with water. Storing it is a problem. It cannot be kept under oil, as sodium can, because it is less dense and floats. So it is stored by being coated with petroleum jelly.
Bromine - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBBromine is a deep-red, oily liquid with a sharp smell. It is toxic. Uses. Bromine is used in many areas such as agricultural chemicals, dyestuffs, insecticides, pharmaceuticals and chemical intermediates. Some uses are being phased out for environmental reasons, but new uses continue to be found.
Sulfur - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBSulfur. 16. 32.06. Glossary. GroupA vertical column in the periodic table. Members of a group typically have similar properties and electron configurations in their outer shell. PeriodA horizontal row in the periodic table. The atomic number of each element increases by one, reading from left to right.
Silicon - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBUses. Silicon is one of the most useful elements to mankind. Most is used to make alloys including aluminium-silicon and ferro-silicon (iron-silicon). These are used to make dynamo and transformer plates, engine blocks, cylinder heads and machine tools and to deoxidise steel. Silicon is also used to make silicones.
Phosphorus - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic …
WEBNina Notman. Phosphorus is a non-metal that sits just below nitrogen in group 15 of the periodic table. This element exists in several forms, of which white and red are the best known. White phosphorus is definitely the more exciting of the two.
Mercury - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBMercury. 80. 200.592. Glossary. GroupA vertical column in the periodic table. Members of a group typically have similar properties and electron configurations in their outer shell. PeriodA horizontal row in the periodic table. The atomic number of each element increases by one, reading from left to right.
Uranium - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
WEBUranium is a very important element because it provides us with nuclear fuel used to generate electricity in nuclear power stations. It is also the major material from which other synthetic transuranium elements are made. Naturally occurring uranium consists of 99% uranium-238 and 1% uranium-235.
Strontium - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic …
WEBStrontium-90, a radioactive isotope, is a by-product of nuclear reactors and present in nuclear fallout. It has a half-life of 28 years. It is absorbed by bone tissue instead of calcium and can destroy bone marrow and cause cancer. However, it is also useful as it is one of the best high-energy beta-emitters known.
