- son of the earth
- Very powerful reducing agent
- Use: blocking agent (//transparent capsule →
opaque)
titanium (Ti)
- Solar ray protective
- Used in contact lenses
titanium oxide
- Use is similar to aluminum (but already banned)
- Deodorant and antiperspirant properties
Zirconium (Zr)
Group VA: ____________
Nitrogen family
N, P, As, Sb, Bi
N, P – nonmetals
As – metalloid
Sb, Bi – metals
- _________ (without life), Phlogisticated air, Mephitic
air - Colorless, tasteless, odorless, inert gas
- Provides inert atmosphere for readily oxidizable pharmaceuticals
Azote
Nitrogen (N)
- “light carrier”, “St. Elmo’s fire”
- (+) essential constituent of protoplasm, nervous tissues & bones
_____________:
- Of physiologic & medicinal importance
- antacid, cathartic
phosphates
Phosphorus (P)
3 main allotropic forms of Phosphorous
- white/yellow impure P
- red/violet P
- black P
- Waxy solid (organic solvents SOLUBLE)
- light: darkens
- Air (in the dark): emits greenish light and gives off white fumes with garlic odor
- Toxic: rat poison
white/yellow impure P
- Intermediate property of black and white P (organic solvents INSOLUBLE)
- Less chemical active compared to white P
- Non-toxic (used in safety matches, pyrotechnics)
red/violet P
-Resembles graphite in texture
- Produced from white P under high pressures
- Air-stable; does not catch fire spontaneously
black P
- Lewisite metal
- Agent of choice for professional killers
- Protoplasmic poison (poisonous to all tissues)
Antidote:
- freshly prepared mixture of
_________ and administered PO
- Still in GIT: _________ if already absorbed
