    All 11 are necessary for life. The remaining elements are trace elements, of which more than a dozen are thought on the basis of good evidence to be necessary for life. [1] All of the mass of the trace elements put together (less than 10 grams for a human body) do not add up to the body mass of magnesium, the least common of the 11 non-trace ...

  3. Sodium fusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fusion_test

    The sodium fusion test, or Lassaigne's test, is used in elemental analysis for the qualitative determination of the presence of foreign elements, namely halogens, nitrogen, and sulfur, in an organic compound. It was developed by J. L. Lassaigne. [1] The test involves heating the sample with sodium metal, "fusing" it with the sample. A variety ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental_analysis

    Modern simultaneous CHNS combustion analyzer. Elemental analysis is a process where a sample of some material (e.g., soil, waste or drinking water, bodily fluids, minerals, chemical compounds) is analyzed for its elemental and sometimes isotopic composition.

  5. Atomicity (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomicity_(chemistry)

    Atomicity is the total number of atoms present in a molecule of an element. For example, each molecule of oxygen (O 2) is composed of two oxygen atoms. Therefore, the atomicity of oxygen is 2. [1] In older contexts, atomicity is sometimes equivalent to valency. Some authors also use the term to refer to the maximum number of valencies observed ...

    I do not recognize my body as my own. My body is too wide. I am pleased with my body shape. I feel the need to lose weight. I see my breasts as too big. I feel the need to conceal my body in looser clothing. I avoid my reflection because it upsets me. I do not struggle with relaxing. I feel like every aspect of my body is broad.

    Chemical element, a pure substance of one type of atom; Heating element, a device that generates heat by electrical resistance; Orbital elements, parameters required to identify a specific orbit of one body around another

  8. Selfish genetic element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selfish_genetic_element

    An early striking example of hybrid dysgenesis induced by a selfish genetic element was the P element in Drosophila. [ 99 ] [ 100 ] If males carrying the P element were crossed to females lacking it, the resulting offspring suffered from reduced fitness.

  9. Item response theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Item_response_theory

    In psychometrics, item response theory (IRT, also known as latent trait theory, strong true score theory, or modern mental test theory) is a paradigm for the design, analysis, and scoring of tests, questionnaires, and similar instruments measuring abilities, attitudes, or other variables.
