  2. The Elements (song) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_(song)

    The Elements" is a 1959 song with lyrics by musical humorist, mathematician and lecturer Tom Lehrer, which recites the names of all the chemical elements known at the time of writing, up to number 102, nobelium. Lehrer arranged the music of the song from the tune of the "Major-General's Song" from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan ...

  3. Cosmological lithium problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_lithium_problem

    Namely, the most widely accepted models of the Big Bang suggest that three times as much primordial lithium, in particular lithium-7, should exist. This contrasts with the observed abundance of isotopes of hydrogen (1 H and 2 H) and helium (3 He and 4 He) that are consistent with predictions. [1]

  4. Cosmic ray spallation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray_spallation

    As it turned out, spallation could not generate much deuterium, but the new studies of spallation showed that this process could generate lithium, beryllium and boron; indeed, isotopes of these elements are over-represented in cosmic ray nuclei, as compared with solar atmospheres (whereas hydrogen and helium are present in about primordial ...

  5. Flerovium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flerovium

    The electron of a hydrogen-like flerovium ion (Fl 113+; remove all but one electron) is expected to move so fast that its mass is 1.79 times that of a stationary electron, due to relativistic effects. (The figures for hydrogen-like lead and tin are expected to be 1.25 and 1.073 respectively. [110])

  6. Nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosynthesis

    After about 20 minutes, the universe had expanded and cooled to a point at which these high-energy collisions among nucleons ended, so only the fastest and simplest reactions occurred, leaving our universe containing hydrogen and helium. The rest is traces of other elements such as lithium and the hydrogen isotope deuterium. Nucleosynthesis in ...

  7. Period 1 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_1_element

    Simply following electron configurations, hydrogen (electronic configuration 1s 1) and helium (1s 2) should be placed in groups 1 and 2, above lithium (1s 2 2s 1) and beryllium (1s 2 2s 2). [2] While such a placement is common for hydrogen, it is rarely used for helium outside of the context of illustrating the electron configurations.

  8. Period 2 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_2_element

    A period 2 element is one of the chemical elements in the second row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements.The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behavior of the elements as their atomic number increases; a new row is started when chemical behavior begins to repeat, creating columns of elements with similar properties.

  9. Toxic heavy metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_heavy_metal

    A 25-foot (7.6 m) wall of coal fly ash from the release of 5.4 million cubic yards ash slurry into the Emory River, Tennessee, in 2008. [1] The river water was contaminated with toxic metals including arsenic, copper, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, and thallium. [2]
