THE PERIODIC TABLE OF POLYOXOMETALLATES (POMS)

The PTE of polyoxometallates (POMs) shows elements [В, Al-P, Ga-As] (OS 3, 4 and 5, cf Figure 5.10) [24].

IN THE WAY TO SUPERELEMENTS: ENIGMAS IN THE PERIODIC LAW (PL)

Fliorov and Illnov proposed questions, A, H, and F and on enigmas in the PL [25].

Ql. How during the last years did scientists discover 26 transuranics in PTE?

Q2. What does the surrounding world consist of?

Q3. Why around people do so many different substances find that are in gaseous/liquid/solid states?

Q4. Is it possible or not to turn some substances into others or obtain new ones, unknown before?

Q5. The chemical properties of elements, are they fortuitous or change according to a certain law?

A5. (Mendeleev). PL: The properties of the elements change periodically vs. atomic weight.

Q6. What are the causes of periodicity with which the properties of the elements change?

H1. (Mendeleev). It is easy to assume, but there is yet no possibility to demonstrate, that simple-bodies atoms are complicated creatures formed by the composition of some still more small parts... The periodic dependence revealed by me between the properties and weight confirms such premonition.

FI. (Rutherford). Atom represents a complicated system in which center a positively charged nucleus is, around which negatively charged electrons rotate in different orbits.

Q7. Where is the limit of the periodic table?

Q8. (Mendeleev). How many elements does the periodic system contain?

A8. Calculations show that when Z = 170-180, the nucleus should capture the inner electrons.

Q9. (Mendeleev). Where does it pass its limit?

A9. Such limit is not determined by electronic layer instability but by that of the proper nucleus.

FINAL REMARKS

From the presents results and discussion, the following final remarks can be drawn:

  • 1. Through examples, the contingent and socially constructed character of toxicity was investigated to reveal some of the mechanisms through which the diverse protagonists, under the pressure of strong political, economic, and academic interests, interact to visualize the toxicity of a substance or, on the contrary, to make it invisible, through the active production of ignorance about its effects on health and the environment.
  • 2. The examples also show that toxic risk management is marked by strong imbalances between producers and victims, which foster the development of forms of slow and usually invisible violence against socially disadvantaged groups.
  • 3. Some versions of the periodic table provide a striking reminder that people need to apply Refuse-Reduce-Reuse-Repurpose-Recycle (five Rs) at a fundamental level.
  • 4. During the last years, scientists discovered 26 transuranics in Mendeleev’s periodic table. However, the limit of the periodic system is still far. Physicists assume that superheavy elements should exist with so much lengthy life that they could be discovered in the Universe.
