1.1 TUNGSTEN OXIDE (WOx) AND MAGANESE TUNGSTEN OXIDE (MnWOx); AN INTRODUCTION In the current study, the two materials; Tungsten Oxide (WOx) and Maganese Tungsten Oxide (MnWOx) were synthesized and characterized. A brief introduction to these materials is discussed here.
1.1.1 TUNGSTEN OXIDE (WOx) Tungsten oxide (WO3) will be a noticeable light-driven photocatalyst which has numerous potential requisitions: energy transformation units, contamination deactivation, and destructive critical distortion. Exposed WO3 shows low photocatalytic progress under distinctive light illumination. Tungsten trioxide is a thermally stable and water insoluble tungsten compound. Tungsten trioxide and Tungsten blue oxides are both utilized as a part of the creation of tungsten metal powders. Both substance are prepared from inside produced ammonium paratungstate (APT). Yellow tungsten trioxide is a finely isolated, yellow, crystalline powder. It is prepared by roasting ammonium paratungstate at nearly regulated temperatures to

The rate of surface atom in nano-size is high as contrast with mass particle and this expands the action of the molecule in nano extent. Accordingly, there is an increment in the typical properties of the molecule like synergist action, mass exchange, heat medication, and so on. Modern provisions of metal nanoparticles are more contrast with non-metal nanoparticles. Nanoparticles offer a lot of people new advancements in the field of biomedicine, biosensors and bio nanotechnology-particularly in the regions like in medicinal analytic instruments, drug transportation, as a growth medication operator and numerous
Paragraph 1: Compare and Contrast the crystal structures and crystal chemistry of Quartz α-FePO4 and β-FePO4. The research paper discusses the inversion of quartz type FePO4 from α-FePO4 to β-FePO4 along the temperature range 294K to 1073K. We first take a look at the difference in lattice and space symmetry between the 2 polymorphs, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4.

It is a strong acid. Its crystal structure is body centered cubic. Over 2/3 of all molybdenum is used in alloys.
The crystal structure (II) is found to be disordered tetragonal, space group P4͞ 21m, a = 5.7193 , c = 4.9326 A0,,Z=2 . The phase (IV) of AN is stable between the temperature -18 and 32.30C. It belongs to the orthorhombic structure with space group Pmmn. It has a coordination number of two. The IV-III transition take place at near temperature about 32 0C. it causes swelling, caking and particle deterioration of stored ammonium nitrate. The IV-III transition only occurs when moisture is present and this transition takes place by the dissolution and recrystallization of the solid . During recystallization process salt bridges are formed between the crystallites. This phase transition is followed by a volume change. It also leads to the ...

In other words, the alloying element affects the temperature of which the oxide scale forms and its behaviour is at higher elevation temperature as well as gas composition and moisture level [3].
They have a larger surface area in proportion to their volume. This enables them to interact with different types of biological systems and provides a wide variety of possibilities (Nuruzatulifah, Nizam, & Ain, 2015). The nanoparticles can be seen by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). When there is one nanoparticle, it is called a primary particle. When there is more than one, it is called a secondary particle. In order to measure these particles, they need to be suspended in a solution (Pruneanu, Coros & Pogacean, 2015). Dyed nanoparticles or internally fluorescent nanoparticles barely interact with cellular proteins which is what the study requires. They are also quite easy to manipulate. They can be easily internalized into cells and can be programmed to go to specific sites (Wolbeis,
It is clear that nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize health care and even transport
It is made mostly of copper carbonate. It can be crushed into a green powder. If this powder is heated it changes colour. A new substance has been made. The new substance is a black powder.
Theoretically, the empirical formula for magnesium oxide was MgO, only one of each element, and the percent composition of 60% magnesium and 40% oxygen. However, from the data collected during the lab, the empirical formula was found to be Mg2O, and the percent composition was calculated to be 75% magnesium and only 25% oxygen. These results point towards a more magnesium-heavy product being synthesized, with a practical magnesium percent composition rise of 15%.

At room temperature tungsten does not react to oxygen, but at elevated temperature, the trioxide tungsten ( VI ) oxide is formed. Finely divided tungsten metal is pyrophoric. 2W ( s ) + 3Cl2 ( g ) + 20W3 (s). Tungsten also reacts to fluorine to create tungsten ( VI ) fluoride. Tungsten reacts directly with chlorine at 250°C or bromine to form respectively tungsten ( VI ) chloride or tungsten ( VI ) bromide.
The compound Nichrome is an alloy, made by joining nickel, iron and chromium metals. These metals are good resistors thus making it perfect for this application and for a heating element. In comparison the creation of Nichrome and the heating element has made life easier from what it was 50 years ago making it a great engineered product.
Here (Figure 1), we can see the crystalline structure of potassium feldspar (KAlSi3O8), which consists of corners that share AlO4 and SiO4 tetrahedrons. These tetrahedrons contain either an aluminum or a silicon atom, each connected to four oxygen atoms, and also there are relatively large potassium cations that reside on junctions within the framework.
Metalloids can be applied in almost all aspects of life. From being used in gum and toys to technology and spacecraft, metalloids are very useful. For example, Silicon can be used in electrical insulators, fabric softeners, hair sprays, hand creams, furniture, polishes, paints, adhesives, and gum. While Arsenic is used for bronzing, the hardening of lead in shotgun shells, and as a dopant, because metalloids are semiconductive, Antimony could be used in making bells, tools, printing presses, batteries, alloys, bullets, and cable sheathing. Furthermore, Tellurium is used to build electronics and make metals easier to cut. Tellurium is also used in coloring glass, porcelain, enamel, and ceramics. Lastly, Germanium is used in fluorescent lamps, infrared spectroscopes, and infrared detectors. Together, metalloids have many applications that can be used to create and upgrade certain
