  2. Thulium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thulium

    Reddish-purple thulium(II) compounds can be made by the reduction of thulium(III) compounds. Examples of thulium(II) compounds include the halides (except the fluoride). Some hydrated thulium compounds, such as TmCl 3 ·7H 2 O and Tm 2 (C 2 O 4) 3 ·6H 2 O are green or greenish-white. [17] Thulium dichloride reacts very vigorously with water.

  3. Pyrophoricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophoricity

    The creation of sparks from metals is based on the pyrophoricity of small metal particles, and pyrophoric alloys are made for this purpose. [2] Practical applications include the sparking mechanisms in lighters and various toys, using ferrocerium; starting fires without matches, using a firesteel; the flintlock mechanism in firearms; and spark testing ferrous metals.

    Green liquid with symbol Ar and atomic number 7. Makes a compound that is corrosive to copper when mixed with Galine and Sanite, and a compound that produces clouds when exposed to air when mixed with Regalite. The real element 7 is nitrogen; and Ar = argon. Atium Mistborn: Metal. Forms the body and power of the shard Ruin. If an Allomancer ...

  5. Janus particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus_particles

    The term "Janus Particle" was coined by author Leonard Wibberley in his 1962 novel The Mouse on the Moon as a science-fictional device for space travel.. The term was first used in a real-world scientific context by C. Casagrande et al. in 1988 [8] to describe spherical glass particles with one of the hemispheres hydrophilic and the other hydrophobic.

  6. Tutton's salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutton's_salt

    Tutton's salts are a family of salts with the formula M 2 M'(SO 4) 2 (H 2 O) 6 (sulfates) or M 2 M'(SeO 4) 2 (H 2 O) 6 (selenates). These materials are double salts, which means that they contain two different cations, M + and M' 2+ crystallized in the same regular ionic lattice. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regular_polytopes

    The other two Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra (the great stellated dodecahedron and great icosahedron) do not have regular hyperbolic tiling analogues. If m is even, depending on how we choose to define { m /2}, we can either obtain degenerate double covers of other tilings or compound tilings.

  8. Creutz–Taube complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creutz–Taube_complex

    The Creutz–Taube ion. The Creutz–Taube ion is the metal complex with the formula {[Ru(NH 3) 5] 2 (C 4 H 4 N 2)} 5+.This cationic species has been heavily studied in an effort to understand the intimate details of inner sphere electron transfer, that is, how electrons move from one metal complex to another.

  9. Mercury(II) chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury(II)_chloride

    Mercury(II) chloride (or mercury bichloride [citation needed], mercury dichloride), historically also known as sulema or corrosive sublimate, [2] is the inorganic chemical compound of mercury and chlorine with the formula HgCl 2, used as a laboratory reagent. It is a white crystalline solid and a molecular
