The residents were also mailed a $10 gift card to a local restaurant with the survey but without the stipulation of having to submit the completed survey to have the gift card. Of the 2‚000 surveys sent out by Boron et al.‚ 354 respondents mailed back completed surveys and were within the age range (2013). The survey asked questions about demographics‚ backgrounds‚ health‚ and medication usage‚ strategies used to remember to take medications‚ medication behaviors

properties of boric acid Introduction: Boron is an element in the p-block of the periodic table. It has the electron configuration of 1s22s22p1 and is in group 3 or goup 13 (IUPAC classification). In nature‚ it consists of two isotopes 10B (19.6%) and 11B (80.4%). Boron is bonded to the oxygen in nature. The important sources of Boron are borax and kernite. Boron oxides and their derivatives are technologically important and are relatively inexpensive to produce. Boron oxides is very difficult to crystallise

Where Mass1 = mass of first isotope in amu Abundance1 = abundance of first isotope as a percentage n = number of isotopes of element in calculation For example: The natural abundance for boron isotopes is 19.9% 10B (10.013 amu*) and 80.1% 11B (11.009 amu*). Calculate the atomic mass of boron: Average atomic mass = = 10.811 (note that this is the value of atomic mass given on the periodic table) *amu is the atomic mass unit (u‚ μ or amu)‚ which is defined as 1/12th

neutrons pass and be corrosion resistant. This cladding has also the advantage to give strength to the rod. The reaction in the nuclear reactor is controlled with control rods. These control rods should be able to absorb the neutrons‚ so cadmium and boron are most of the time used. This reaction takes place in a stainless steel pressure vessel. Nuclear fusion takes typically place in a tokamak. This is a toroidal chamber with magnetic coils. In this chamber fusion takes place under the form of plasma

Chinese Drug‚ Saved or Poisoned? Introduction: Borneol (FIGURE-1)‚ first reported and published in the Tang Bencao in 659 A.D.‚ is often used in drug treatment‚ especially in Chinese drugs. It is helpful in opening obstruction of orifices‚ heat syndromes and pain releasing (Dharmananda). Nowadays artificially synthesized borneol‚ a mixture of borneol and isoborneol (FIGURE-2)‚ becomes more popular than pure natural borneol because of the lower cost in drug production. However‚ isoborneol

electron is called the second ionization energy. 2) Both trends are increasing for the most part. There are some exceptions like boron and oxygen in period 2 and aluminum and sulfur in period 3. All of the elements before these ones are stable and it is easier to remove the electron from them than from an electron of boron‚ oxygen‚ aluminum‚ and sulfur. This makes boron‚ oxygen‚ aluminum‚ and sulfur have a lower ionization energy. 3) First‚ electrons are added one at a time moving from left

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY – CLASS XI (ISC) Properties of Group 1 elements [Alkali metals] 1. Due to high reactivity‚ alkali metals do not occur free in nature. Elements of group 1 (or IA) are known as alkali metals because their hydroxides are soluble in water and form strongly alkaline solutions. Alkali metals are stored under kerosene oil because they get tarnished on exposure to air. 2. The general electron configuration of alkali metals is ns1. 3. Alkali metals have largest size and lowest
