VIA n VIB Flashcards
Is the most abundant element in the earth’s crust
OXYGEN
Occur much less abundantly than sulfur. They are found along with sulfur in metal sulfides and are recovered in some quantity from lead and copper refining processes
SELENIUM AND TELLURIUM
Occurs only in the form of radioisotopes as a result of the decay of the actinide elements
POLONIUM
Is also a very common element and was known to the ancients as brimstone, that is “burning stone”. It occurs on the earth’s crust as a free element and in combined form as metal sulfide and sulfate
SULFUR
- “Dephlogisticated air” (Priestly)
- “empyreal air” (scheele)
- most abundant element
- non metallic element
- 2nd most electronegative
- essential of all elements
- responsible for the oxidative changes
- in paints, fats, fixed oils
OXYGEN
Oxygen is stored in what color of cylinder?
GREEN CYLINDER
3 allotropes of oxygen
- OZONE
- OXYGEN
- NASCENT OXYGEN
Oxygen requirements
- ANOXIC
- ANEMIC
- HISTOTOXIC
- STAGNANT
Blood circulation is retarded
STAGNANT
Inadequate oxygen tension in air
ANOXIC
Tissue or cell oxidation
HISTOTOXIC
Decrease hemoglobin
ANEMIC
- Administration - tubes, masks, tents
- diluent for anesthetic agent
OXYGEN GAS
- “Brimstone”
- “burning stone”
SULFUR
Enemy of copper
SHULBARI
Sources of sulfur
- FeS2 – Iron Pyrite
- PbS – Galena
- HgS – Cinnabar
- ZnS – Zinc blend
- CaSO4● 2H2O – Gypsum
- BaSO4 – Heavy spar
Form when sulfur is heated above 1000 degrees celsius
SULFUR VAPOR
Ex. rock sulfur, roll sulfur, flower of sulfur
RHOMBIC
Rubbery, plastic mass
PLASTIC OR AMORPHOUS
