Ionic Radii03:10

Ionic Radii

34.5K
Ionic radius is the measure used to describe the size of an ion. A cation always has fewer electrons and the same number of protons as the parent atom; it is smaller than the atom from which it is derived. For example, the covalent radius of an aluminum atom (1s22s22p63s23p1) is 118 pm, whereas the ionic radius of an Al3+ (1s22s22p6) is 68 pm. As electrons are removed from the outer valence shell, the remaining core electrons occupying smaller shells experience a greater effective nuclear...

Paramagnetism01:30

Paramagnetism

3.1K
Paramagnets are materials with unpaired electrons that possess a finite magnetic moment. In the absence of a magnetic field, these moments are randomly oriented, and thus the net moment is zero. Under an external field, a torque acting on the moments tends to align them along the field's direction. However, the random thermal motion of electrons produces a torque opposite to the external field and tries to disorient the moments. These two competing effects align only a few moments along the...

Nuclear Transmutation03:20

Nuclear Transmutation

20.9K
Nuclear transmutation is the conversion of one nuclide into another. It can occur by the radioactive decay of a nucleus, or the reaction of a nucleus with another particle. The first manmade nucleus was produced in Ernest Rutherford’s laboratory in 1919 by a transmutation reaction, the bombardment of one type of nuclei with other nuclei or with neutrons. Rutherford bombarded nitrogen-14 atoms with high-speed α particles from a natural radioactive isotope of radium and observed...

Ion Exchange01:17

Ion Exchange

1.5K
Ion exchange chromatography separates charged molecules from a solution by reversibly exchanging them with mobile, or 'active', ions associated with the oppositely charged stationary phase. This method can be used to separate ions, soften and deionize water, and purify solutions. The polymers comprising the ion-exchange column are high-molecular-weight and chemically stable polymers, crosslinked to be porous and essentially insoluble. They are also functionalized with either acidic or...

Ions and Ionic Charges03:27

Ions and Ionic Charges

80.2K
In ordinary chemical reactions, the nucleus — which contains the protons and neutrons of each atom and thus identifies the element — remains unchanged. Electrons, however, can be added to atoms by transfer from other atoms, lost by transfer to other atoms, or shared with other atoms. The transfer and sharing of electrons among atoms govern the chemistry of the elements. During the formation of some compounds, atoms gain or lose electrons to form electrically charged particles called...

Subatomic Particles03:37

Subatomic Particles

117.4K
Dalton was only partially correct about the particles that make up matter. All matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are composed of three smaller subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These three particles account for the mass and the charge of an atom.

Area of Science:

  • Ancient pharmacology and medical history.
  • The study of historical pharmaceutical preparations and their literary context.

Background:

  • Introduces the Roman Philonium, an opiate formulated by Philo of Tarsus in the 1st century CE.
  • Highlights the unique format of the prescription: elegiac couplets, termed pharmacological poetry.
  • Notes the preservation of this text within Galen's "On the Composition of Medicines according to the Places."

Discussion:

  • Addresses the limited Spanish translation of Galen's work.
  • Presents a novel Spanish translation of the Roman Philonium, derived from a late 19th-century French version.
  • Includes an exegetical analysis of Philo's original poem.

Key Insights:

  • Provides the first Spanish rendition of a significant historical pharmaceutical text.
  • Illuminates the intersection of ancient medicine, literature, and pharmacology.
  • Offers new insights into the work of Philo of Tarsus and Galen's role in its preservation.

Outlook:

  • Encourages further research into untranslated classical medical texts.
  • Suggests potential for comparative studies of ancient pharmacopoeias across cultures.
  • Opens avenues for exploring the literary and cultural significance of historical medical prescriptions.
