“Vanadium making steel stronger”(“Admin. 13 Creative…”) Well without vanadium it would not be possible. Vanadium is an element on the periodic table. Its atomic number is 23(vanadium world of….). Its atomic mass is 50.9(vanadium world of….). It melts at 119 °C (vanadium world of….). So it can take the heat. Vanadium is the most helpful element out there. According to Webster’s English Dictionary, helpful is defined as providing service, or assistance. Since vanadium is healthy,nutritious, and useful; it is the most helpful element, some however might argue that Barium is more useful
Vanadium is very helpful because it helps keep humans healthy because of what it can do in the medical field. Vanadium can be used as an insulin for people with

Barium in a lot of ways is helpful to humans. Barium can be found in a lot of things humans use. One major thing is that it is found in the Chinese phenomenon know as fireworks. It helps make the green color in fireworks(Barium Facts softschools….). Therefore without Barium we wouldn't have that pretty green firework. Barium may sound pretty fun, but it is actually really dangerous. Barium is not good for the environment. Barium doesn’t dissolve in water, which is very harmful to fish(Barium facts softschools…..). This horrible element is killing one of our easiest food source. Even worse is that Barium is harmful to people who work with around it(Barium Facts softschools….). Barium is harming the people who try to use it. Humans also use vanadium in their products. Even though vanadium is a metal it is also a very nutritious mineral in food. Vanadium is in a lot of our foods as a mineral(vanadium university of ….). Such as mushrooms, shellfish, black pepper, parsley, dill weed, beer, wine, grain and grain products, and artificially sweetened drinks(vanadium university of ….). Since vanadium is in these foods it helps keep humans have all the key nutrients needed to survive. So vanadium is very helpful because it is nutritious, but there are more reasons why it is …show more content…
Vanadium is used in Nuclear power plants, and purification of water(“Element Vanadium ….”).So without the element we would not of ever made the A- Bomb or our water would be constantly dirty. It also used in a lot of metal as an extra covering to keep it from rusting(Vanadium Element ….). If we did not have vanadium on our metals we would be using a whole bunch of brownish-red objects. We can also find it in magnets springs, alloys, and ceramics(“Element Vanadium …..”) All of these thing clearly state why vanadium is so useful. This proves another reason why it is so helpful to humans. So this is basically all of the things you can find vanadium
When you look into veterans eyes, you can see several things that are important. The pride shines through, the pride of serving ones country, and the dedication to protect other peoples freedom even it if requires paying the ultimate price. These men and women give their lives to give us our freedom. As a one of the many individuals that they are protecting it is vital that we see that pride and appreciate where it comes from.
Every US citizen all have something in common; freedom. Most Americans go throughout their whole personal life, whether it be work, school, or other activities, never questioning, ”How do I have the opportunity to be able to do these things?” We instead ask and worry about other things, and don’t take time to acknowledge how we are able to have agency in our decisions of everyday life. The First Amendment allows US citizens to have privileges that don’t exist in some countries, like freedom of speech, religion, and the right to petition. Likewise, this amendment is unique to the United States of America, and no other country in the world has as many freedoms as the US. Because of these exclusive rights, we must protect them from being taken away. This is why the US has a military; to protect the freedoms exclusive to America. This is why we have Veterans’ Day; to celebrate the veterans of war who fought and put their lives down to keep their land free. This essay will go over why we should celebrate our country’s warriors, and it will talk about what veterans give up to protect their country, how their personal lives change, and how they affect our community/country.
Molybdenum use increased a lot during World War I, when demand for tungsten made tungsten rare, and strong steels were at expensive. Molybdenum is used in aircraft and missile parts, and in filaments. Molybdenum acts as a catalyst in the petroleum industry for removing organic sulfurs from petroleum products.
Lanthanum (La) is a member of the rare earth elements (REEs), which consist of a group of 15 trivalent metallic elements with similar properties. Lanthanum is mostly dangerous in the working environment, due to the fact that damps and gasses can be inhaled with air. This can cause lung embolism, especially during long-term exposure. Lanthanum can also cause cancer with humans, as it enlarges the chances of lung cancer when it is inhaled. Finally, it can be a threat to the liver when it accumulates in the human body.
Aluminum is a lightweight, silvery metal. The atomic weight of aluminum is 26.9815; the element melts at 660° C (1220° F), boils at 2467° C (4473° F), and has a specific gravity of 2.7. Aluminum is a strongly electropositive metal and extremely reactive. In contact with air, aluminum rapidly becomes covered with a tough, transparent layer of aluminum oxide that resists further corrosive action. For this reason, materials made of aluminum do not tarnish or rust. The metal reduces many other metallic compounds to their base metals. For example, when thermite (a mixture of powdered iron oxide and aluminum) is heated, the aluminum rapidly removes the oxygen from the iron; the heat of the reaction is sufficient to melt the iron. This phenomenon is used in the thermite process for welding iron .
Arsenic is element 33 on the periodic table and is in Group 15. Arsenic is obviously an extremely poisonous element; however, some people have found arsenic to have a restorative effect on them. Chemically, arsenic is a metalloid. Two common forms of arsenic are gray and yellow. (see Figure 1-A) Element 33 has an atomic weight of 74.9216 and the chemical symbol of As. It boils at 613ºC, melts at 817ºC, and has a density of 5.72. (see Figure 2-A) The element has been known for centuries and can be easily obtained from ores such as arsenopyrite (FeAsS), realgar (As2S2), orpiment (As2S3), and arsenic trioxide (As2O3). There are many uses for arsenic. Among them is in the manufacturing of glass to eliminate the air bubbles and the green color caused by contaminated iron compounds. Arsenic is also added to materials such as lead and copper alloys to increase the strength and better the corrosion resistance. Although it is well known that arsenic is often used in tales (both true and otherwise) as a killing agent, arsenic has been used as a curative as well. Before penicillin was introduced, arsenic played a significant role in the treatment of syphilis. Other good uses for element 33 are as insecticides and semiconductors. Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is a known semiconductor that is also used as a laser material. A good test for the detection of arsenic is the Marsh test, invented by James Marsh, an English chemist.
Barium is a soft, heavy, silver-colored metal element. This element does not have very many uses outside of the laboratory, but it combines easily with other chemicals to form compounds used for important industrial uses. For example, Barium carbonate is used in the manufacture of ceramics and special glass, and also to purify certain chemical solutions. It is also an ingredient in clay slurries, also known as water muds, used in drilling oil wells. Barium titanate is used in sonar detectors and other electrical equipment. At low doses, barium acts as a muscle stimulant and at higher doses affects the nervous system eventually leading to paralysis. Acute and subchronic oral doses of barium cause vomiting and diarrhea, followed by decreased heart rate and elevated blood pressure. Higher doses result in cardiac irregularities, weakness, tremors, anxiety, and dyspnea. A drop in serum potassium may account for some of the symptoms. Death can occur from cardiac and respiratory failure. Acute doses around 0.8 grams can be fatal to humans. Barium nitrate makes signal flares burn with a green flame. Barium ferrite is used to make magnets. Barium sulfate is an extremely insoluble barium compound that is not poisonous. Doctors use it in X-ray examinations of a patient's digestive system. The barium sulfate absorbs X rays to show an outline of the intestines on the developed film. A barium enema is performed to examine the walls of the colon. During the procedure, a well lubricated enema tube is inserted gently into the rectum. The barium is then allowed to flow into the colon. The flow of the barium is monitored by the health care provider on an X-ray fluoroscope screen. The test is used to detect colon cancer. The barium enema may also be used to diagnose and evaluate the extent of inflammatory bowel diseases. Barium sulfate and zinc sulfide form lithopone, a white coloring matter for paint. Barium is never found in a pure state because it combines so easily with other elements. Pure barium is obtained by passing an electric current through a fused barium compound, such as barium chloride. A piece of barium metal quickly reacts with oxygen and water vapor in the air to form barium oxide. It must be stored under kerosene to keep it pure. Barium is found most often as barium sulfate in the mineral barite. The chemical symbol for barium is Ba.
This essay is all about the Element Magnesium. Magnesium is one of the wider known Elements from the periodic table and, as stated in the following essay, is very good for the human body, especially the muscles. It is also one that has been put in to a few different forms to be easier to take as a supplement. This is one of the points discussed in the following essay, as well as these other points; the history of Magnesium and its discovery, places you will find it such as food or other sources, its uses, plus potential health benefits and harms.
Stainless steel is a type of alloy that has a very strong lattice structure (an arrangement/ shape of the crystals or other objects) which in some case can be more beneficial than others depending on the type of application it may be used for. In many cases this structure will make the material more suited to being used in engineering applications such as tools for instance a hammer (stainless steel alloys) , also they can be used for gears, engines, electrical motors and hydraulic systems because the structure makes the material so strong. So when the arrangement of the structure is as above it makes the overall material even stronger which makes it a good for all the applications stated above. I believe its strength and durability are its main properties as these are commonly needed in the engineering industry, although it is also very well known to be used for its corrosion resistance as it is resistant to many types of corrosion. It is used for these properties because the components such as gears need to be strong in order to keep transferring and altering the rotary motion and torque exhibited in the machine that it may be used in, durable to withstand any loads or pressure put onto it and also corrosion resistance to give the components a bigger life span and increase its rate of work throughout its required use.
The unique set of elements known as the alkaline earth metals are key components to humanity and life as we know it. Without them, many things that we both love and need would be gone. These remarkably diverse yet very similar elements that make up the alkaline earth metals family are: Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba), and Radium (Ra). Although this family is often overshadowed by the infamous alkali metals, you will soon learn how spectacular and brilliant these metals really are and their value to human life.
In modern societies, lanthanides are considered. Due to the unique physical and chemical properties of the rare earth elements (REEs), its applications for advanced new materials are increasing [10-12]. Lanthanides are used widely in metallurgy, medicine, chemical engineering, electronics and electrooptics, biomedicine, for manufacturing of magnetostriction materials, lasers, storage batteries with long service life for electric vehicles, etc. [10, 13-17]. Lanthanum is the most abundant element in the lanthanide elements and is currently used as a pure element or in combination with other compounds in catalysts, super alloys and special ceramics [18].
In conclusion, our body is made up of several ions that are essential in the body in order to obtain a healthy system. In order to be provided with the benefits these ions offer the body, the body must be cared for by being fed the right foods, being exercised regularly and making sure it’s healthy by attending scheduled check-ups. Ions help the body in more ways than one. They provide the body with nutrients that strengthen our health system in order to ensure we maintain our well-being. These ions can be beneficial to the human body by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
This discovery has proven very beneficial to the society and the world because it is a scientific way of correcting mistakes and filling holes those previous materials has not filled. It has been very effective serving its original purpose and it has also been effective in solving other problems such as biomedical and physical (sports). This is a great breakthrough because if there are challenges that need to be fixed by a strong, flexible material, then this is it. Imagine if planes were built with this metal technique then it would be lighter and stronger at the same time, and it wouldn’t freeze as quickly.
Barites are a solid mineral that combines barium and Sulphur. It is composed of Barium sulfate (BaSO4). The word barite is a Greek word derived from the word “barys” which means “heavy” which is with regards to its high specific gravity which makes it exceptionally suitable for its many applications in areas of medicine, manufacturing and industrial uses. Barite is the principal ore of Barium. Pure barites contain the following below (“Barite Mineral Data,” n.d.)
Minerals are used in everyday life and in almost everything we do. From the manufacturing of the plastic in our toothbrushes we use to brush our teeth in the morning, to the gasoline we put in our cars. Minerals touch our lives throughout the day and in many different ways. Fluorite is no exception. This mineral is used in so many different industries throughout the world and has been important to our daily lives in one form or another since its discovery which can be dated to prehistoric times. While it is not one of the most abundant minerals on the planet, it can be found in many different places and environments around the globe. What is fluorite though? What kind of environments does it exist in, and where can it be found today? What uses does such a common mineral have?
