Dimensional changes of a high-tin content amalgam
Abstract:
Amalgam made with Brewster Alloy (62% Ag, 33% Sn, 5% Cu, and 0.2% Zn) had little or no dimensional change during 24 h at 23 degrees C. Brewster amalgam stored for five yr in air expanded 186, 68, and 14 microns/cm at 60, 37, and 23 degrees C, respectively. Nearly "stable" conditions were approached at about 50 mo.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
