  2. Triiodide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triiodide

    The following exergonic equilibrium gives rise to the triiodide ion: . I 2 + I − ⇌ I − 3. In this reaction, iodide is viewed as a Lewis base, and the iodine is a Lewis acid.The process is analogous to the reaction of S 8 with sodium sulfide (which forms polysulfides) except that the higher polyiodides have branched structures.

    Boris Karloff in James Whale's 1931 film Frankenstein, based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel.The monster is created by an unorthodox biology experiment.. Biology appears in fiction, especially but not only in science fiction, both in the shape of real aspects of the science, used as themes or plot devices, and in the form of fictional elements, whether fictional extensions or applications of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triiodothyronine

    At the cellular level, T 3 is the body's more active and potent thyroid hormone. [2] T 3 helps deliver oxygen and energy to all of the body's cells, its effects on target tissues being roughly four times more potent than those of T 4. [2] Of the thyroid hormone that is produced, just about 20% is T 3, whereas 80% is produced as T 4.

  5. Genetics in fiction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics_in_fiction

    The geneticist Dan Koboldt observes that while science and technology play major roles in fiction, from fantasy and science fiction to thrillers, the representation of science in both literature and film is often unrealistic. [28] In Koboldt's view, genetics in fiction is frequently oversimplified, and some myths are common and need to be debunked.

  6. Antimony triiodide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimony_triiodide

    Antimony triiodide is the chemical compound with the formula Sb I 3. This ruby-red solid is the only characterized "binary" iodide of antimony, i.e. the sole compound isolated with the formula Sb x I y. It contains antimony in its +3 oxidation state. Like many iodides of the heavier main group elements, its structure depends

    All women have evolved to be beautiful, in an illustration by Paul Merwart for a 1911 edition of Camille Flammarion's 1894 novel La Fin du Monde.. Evolution has been an important theme in fiction, including speculative evolution in science fiction, since the late 19th century, though it began before Charles Darwin's time, and reflects progressionist and Lamarckist views as well as Darwin's.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_anatomy

    Gross anatomy has become a key part of visual arts. Basic concepts of how muscles and bones function and deform with movement is key to drawing, painting or animating a human figure. Many books such as Human Anatomy for Artists: The Elements of Form, are written as a guide to drawing the human body anatomically correctly. [4]

  9. Californium (III) iodide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Californium(III)_iodide

    The compound forms a red-orange solid. The triiodide sublimes at ~800 °C without melting. It crystallizes in the trigonal crystal structure in the space group R3 (No. 148) with the lattice parameters a = 758.7 pm and c = 2081.4 pm with six formula units per unit cell. Its crystal structure is isotypic with that of bismuth(III) iodide.
