The lanthanide contraction is the greater-than-expected decrease in atomic radii and ionic radii of the elements in the lanthanide series, from left to right. It is caused by the poor shielding effect of nuclear charge by the 4f electrons along with the expected periodic trend of increasing electronegativity and nuclear charge on moving from left to right.
All of the lanthanides form Ln 2 Q 3 (Q= S, Se, Te). [18] The sesquisulfides can be produced by reaction of the elements or (with the exception of Eu 2 S 3) sulfidizing the oxide (Ln 2 O 3) with H 2 S. [18] The sesquisulfides, Ln 2 S 3 generally lose sulfur when heated and can form a range of compositions between Ln 2 S 3 and Ln 3 S 4.
A metal ion in aqueous solution or aqua ion is a cation, dissolved in water, of chemical formula [M(H 2 O) n] z+.The solvation number, n, determined by a variety of experimental methods is 4 for Li + and Be 2+ and 6 for most elements in periods 3 and 4 of the periodic table.
The LN-3-2B is the Inertial Navigation System used in the Canadian CF-104. [12] The LN-3-13 is fitted to the Italian F-104S/CI and F-104S/CB; [13] enhanced variants of the F-104G from 1969 and onward. In the early 1980s a further upgrade led to the F-104S ASA version which kept the original LN-3; but the ASA-M version of the '90s was equipped ...
The sodium-calcium exchanger (often denoted Na + /Ca 2+ exchanger, exchange protein, or NCX) is an antiporter membrane protein that removes calcium from cells. It uses the energy that is stored in the electrochemical gradient of sodium (Na +) by allowing Na + to flow down its gradient across the plasma membrane in exchange for the countertransport of calcium ions (Ca 2+).
Cisplatin, PtCl 2 (NH 3) 2, is a coordination complex of platinum(II) with two chloride and two ammonia ligands.It is one of the most successful anticancer drugs. A coordination complex is a chemical compound consisting of a central atom or ion, which is usually metallic and is called the coordination centre, and a surrounding array of bound molecules or ions, that are in turn known as ligands ...
The electrical charge of the Na + and Cl − ion are assumed to be onefold positive and negative, respectively, z Na = 1 and z Cl = –1. The nearest neighbour distance amounts to half the lattice constant of the cubic unit cell r 0 = a 2 {\displaystyle r_{0}={\tfrac {a}{2}}} and the Madelung constants become
The myosin head is the part of the thick myofilament made up of myosin that acts in muscle contraction, by sliding over thin myofilaments of actin.Myosin is the major component of the thick filaments and most myosin molecules are composed of a head, neck, and tail domain; the myosin head binds to thin filamentous actin, and uses ATP hydrolysis to generate force and "walk" along the thin filament.
