  2. Heavy metal element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_(elements)

    Heavier heavy metals are not usually formed this way since fusion reactions involving such nuclei would consume rather than release energy. [112] Rather, they are largely synthesised (from elements with a lower atomic number) by neutron capture , with the two main modes of this repetitive capture being the s-process and the r-process .

  3. Tungsten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten

    About 50% of tungsten is used in tungsten carbide, with the remaining major use being alloys and steels: less than 10% is used other compounds. [ 23 ] Tungsten is the only metal in the third transition series that is known to occur in biomolecules , being found in a few species of bacteria and archaea .

  6. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties.All elemental metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metallic elements; and have at least one basic oxide.

    This is 17% lower than the earlier wider used one based on non measured values of 3.47 kJ · kg−1· °C−1. The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%.

  8. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    The overlaps get quite close at the point where the d-orbitals enter the picture, [50] and the order can shift slightly with atomic number [51] and atomic charge. [52] [h] Starting from the simplest atom, this lets us build up the periodic table one at a time in order of atomic number, by considering the cases of single atoms.

  9. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    The ignition is easier and the arc burns more stably than without the addition of thorium. For powder metallurgy applications, binders have to be used for the sintering process. For the production of the tungsten heavy alloy, binder mixtures of nickel and iron or nickel and copper are widely used. The tungsten content of the alloy is normally ...
