Tungsten (also called wolfram) [14] [15] is a chemical element; it has symbol W and atomic number 74. It is a rare metal found naturally on Earth almost exclusively as compounds with other elements. It was identified as a distinct element in 1781 and first isolated as a metal in 1783.
Group 6, numbered by IUPAC style, is a group of elements in the periodic table.Its members are chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and seaborgium (Sg). These are all transition metals and chromium, molybdenum and tungsten are refractory metals.
Thirty-four artificial radioisotopes of tungsten have been characterized with mass numbers ranging from 156 to 194, the most stable of which are 181 W with a half-life of 121.2 days, 185 W with a half-life of 75.1 days, 188 W with a half-life of 69.4 days and 178 W with a half-life of 21.6 days.
Tungsten hexachloride is an inorganic chemical compound of tungsten and chlorine with the chemical formula W Cl 6. This dark violet-blue compound exists as volatile crystals under standard conditions. It is an important starting reagent in the preparation of tungsten compounds. [1]
Tungsten(VI) oxide, also known as tungsten trioxide is a chemical compound of oxygen and the transition metal tungsten, with formula WO 3. The compound is also called tungstic anhydride , reflecting its relation to tungstic acid H 2 WO 4 .
The unit cell of beta-tungsten. Beta-tungsten (β-W) is a metastable phase of tungsten widely observed in tungsten thin films.While the commonly existing stable alpha-tungsten (α-W) has a body-centered cubic structure, β-W adopts the topologically close-packed A15 structure containing eight atoms per unit cell, [1] [2] and it irreversibly transforms to the stable α phase through thermal ...
Tungsten disulfide is an inorganic chemical compound composed of tungsten and sulfur with the chemical formula WS 2. This compound is part of the group of materials called the transition metal dichalcogenides .
The model is defined in terms of a list of those complex species which are present in solutions in significant amounts. In the present context the complex species have the general formula [M p O q (OH) r] n±. where p, q and r define the stoichiometry of the species and n± gives the electrical charge of the ion. The experimental data are ...
