  2. Germanium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanium

    Germanium is created by stellar nucleosynthesis, mostly by the s-process in asymptotic giant branch stars. The s-process is a slow neutron capture of lighter elements inside pulsating red giant stars. [57] Germanium has been detected in some of the most distant stars [58] and in the atmosphere of Jupiter. [59]

    To give provisional names to his predicted elements, Dmitri Mendeleev used the prefixes eka- / ˈ iː k ə-/, [note 1] dvi- or dwi-, and tri-, from the Sanskrit names of digits 1, 2, and 3, [3] depending upon whether the predicted element was one, two, or three places down from the known element of the same group in his table.

    Its name first appears in print in the work of Georg Kaspar Kirchmayer in 1676. Recognised as an element by Lavoisier. [1] 1 Hydrogen: 1671 R. Boyle: 1671 R. Boyle Robert Boyle produced it by reacting iron filings with dilute acid. [54] [55] Henry Cavendish in 1766 was the first to distinguish H 2 from other gases. [56] Lavoisier named it in 1783.

    The Lower Paleolithic period lasted over 3 million years, during which there many human-like species evolved including toward the end of this period, Homo sapiens.The original divergence between humans and chimpanzees occurred 13 (), however interbreeding continued until as recently as 4 Ma, with the first species clearly belonging to the human (and not chimpanzee) lineage being ...

    [19] [20] In his second suggestion (2016), elements 121–142 form a g-block (as they have 5g activity), while elements 143–156 form an f-block placed under actinium through nobelium. [21] Kulsha's first suggested form Kulsha's second suggested form. Thus, period 8 emerges with 54 elements, and the next noble element after 118 is 172. [22]

    The form with the f-block included in the main body is sometimes called the 32-column [6] or long form; [33] the form with the f-block cut out the 18-column [6] or medium-long form. [33] The 32-column form has the advantage of showing all elements in their correct sequence, but it has the disadvantage of requiring more space. [ 34 ]

    The history of such philosophical theories that relate to chemistry can probably be traced back to every single ancient civilization. The common aspect in all these theories was the attempt to identify a small number of primary classical elements that make up all the various substances in nature.
