Physical origin of chemical periodicities in the system of elements

Abstract The Periodic Law, one of the great discoveries in human history, is magnificent in the art of chemistry. Different arrangements of chemical elements in differently shaped Periodic Tables serve for different purposes. “Can this Periodic Table be derived from quantum chemistry or physics?” can only be answered positively, if the internal structure of the Periodic Table is explicitly connected to facts and data from chemistry. Quantum chemical rationalization of such a Periodic Tables is achieved by explaining the details of energies and radii of atomic core and valence orbitals in the leading electron configurations of chemically bonded atoms. The coarse horizontal pseudo-periodicity in seven rows of 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32, 32 members is triggered by the low energy of and large gap above the 1s and nsp valence shells (2 ≤ n ≤ 6 !). The pseudo-periodicity, in particular the wavy variation of the elemental properties in the four longer rows, is due to the different behaviors of the s and p vs. d and f pairs of atomic valence shells along the ordered array of elements. The so-called secondary or vertical periodicity is related to pseudo-periodic changes of the atomic core shells. The Periodic Law of the naturally given System of Elements describes the trends of the many chemical properties displayed inside the Chemical Periodic Tables. While the general physical laws of quantum mechanics form a simple network, their application to the unlimited field of chemical materials under ambient ‘human’ conditions results in a complex and somewhat accidental structure inside the Table that fits to some more or less symmetric outer shape. Periodic Tables designed after some creative concept for the overall appearance are of interest in non-chemical fields of wisdom and art.

Polymer crystallization rate challenges: The art of chemistry and processing

ABSTRACTThe intention of this study is to discuss scientific advances toward one very important challenge in the polymer processing industry: How does one increase the crystallization rate of slow‐to‐crystallize polymeric materials, thereby facilitating processing and enabling peak product performance? In the medical device field, where both government‐controlled regulatory entities and medical professionals closely scrutinize the biocompatibility of added crystallization rate enhancers, achieving these twin goals has always been challenging. Herein, we present a review of various chemical and physical approaches used to tune the crystallization rate of semicrystalline polymers, with a strong emphasis on two novel approaches recently discovered and developed in our laboratories. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Chemistry of Art and the Art of Chemistry

This article examines the relationship between chemistry and art, particularly in the area of painting. The mixing of salt solutions leads to the preparation of colored products that are used in painting. The connection of the properties of substances with their preparation in the school chemistry laboratory and their applications in everyday life ensures excellent conditions of learning. This interdisciplinary and inquiry learning method is examined in the present work.

The Science Teacher: Spring 2005

The Science Teacher (TST) is the high school publication of the National Science Teachers Association. Articles of possible interest appearing in TST between Summer 2004 and January 2005 include topics on teaching visually impaired students, the history and the nature of science, inquiry, and using art in chemistry. The reviewed articles contain classroom activities, labs, assessments, and teaching tips.

The Art of Chemistry—Myths, Medicines, and Materials. Arthur Greenberg. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2003, 357 pp., $ 59.95. ISBN 0-474-07L80-3.

The neurologist Oliver Sacks has stated that “Chemistry is perhaps the most intricate, most fascinating, and certainly most romantic history of all the sciences”. There is no single publication that exhaustively summarizes and reconstructs the history of chemistry. However, by piecing together different publications and information from different sources, we understand its milestones and recognize the leading figures in the development of this science. Arthur Greenberg’s book, The Art of Chemistry , is similar in style to his A Chemical History Tour (2000) and, as stated in the preface, presents the “wonderful artwork employed over the centuries to illustrate chemical apparatus as well as our various metaphors for the nature and structures of matter”. Thus, 188 figures, most of an extraordinary artistic value, are used to illuminate 72 essays, and a recurring theme is our very human need to visualize, and to understand, the fundamental nature of matter. Although the primary reason for buying this book is its artistic content and artwork, the forward motion to explain the transformation of myths, superstitions, and their application to the arts and medicine into modern science as we know it will captivate readers. For example, although alchemy is now considered an exercise in naivete, if not downright fraud, it …

Chemical synthesis: the art of chemistry.

Success in the synthesis of natural products often requires the ability to react a single part of a molecule to the exclusion of others.

Art in chemistry: An interdisciplinary approach to teaching art and chemistry

A unique high school course recalls the days when chemists were artists and artists were chemists. Topics covered include: color, painting surfaces, clay and glazes, jewelry making, photography, art history, and chemical hazards in art.
