COOPER

The copper (of the Latin CUPRUM, and this one of the Greek Kýpros), whose symbol is Cu, is the chemical element of atomic number 29. It is a question of a metal of transition of reddish color and I shine. Thanks to his high electrical conductivity, ductility and malleability, it has turned into the material most used to make electrical cables and other electrical and electronic components. His name comes from Cyprus.
The copper is one of few metals that they can find in the nature in "native" condition, that is to say, without combining with other elements. For it he was one of the first ones in being used by the human being.
They have found utensils of native copper of concerning 7000 B.C. in Çayönü Tepesí (in the current Turkey) and in Iraq.

It is a solid hard, crystalline metal, of white greyish glossy and fragile color. He presents the same crystalline structure that the diamond and it resists to the acids. The germanium is very distributed in the terrestrial bark The properties of the germanium (of the Latin Slang, Germany) they were predicted in 1871 by Mendeleyev depending on his position in the periodic table. The German Clemens Winkler demonstrated in 1886 the existence of this element.

In 1810 the chemical Englishman Humphry Davy demonstrates that it is a question of a chemical element and gives the name of chlorine due to his color.
It is a toxic yellow - greenish gas formed by molecules biatómicas.

During a solar eclipse in 1868, the French astronomer Pierre Janssen observed a spectral yellow line in the solar light that up to this moment was not known. Norman Lockyer observed the same eclipse and proposed that the above mentioned line was produced by a new element, to which it called helium, with which, both to Lockyer and to Janssen they there was awarded the discovery of this element.
The helium uses in cryogenics and in the refrigeration of magnets superconductors.

URANIUM

It is a chemical element which chemical symbol is Or and his atomic number is 92. His name comes from the planet Uranus. It was discovered in 1789 by M. H. Klaproth that it called this way in honor of the planet Uranus that had just been an overdraft in 1781. It decides to put the name of the above mentioned planet to the mineral, because of it the metal that is obtained of him, he will be known like "uranium" (that comes from the Latin) that will give the Spanish uranium, beginning here the astronomic nomenclature of the chemical elements.

NITROGEN

The nitrogen is a chemical element of atomic number 7, symbol N. The nitrogen (of the Latin nitrum-i and this one of the Greek νίτρον "saltpeter", and-geno, of the Greek γεν--, "to "generate") thinks that it was discovered formally by Daniel Rutherford in 1772 on having announced some of his properties.
The nitrogen is a gas so inert that Lavoisier was referring to him as scourge (nitrogen) that it means without life. It qualified between the permanent gases, especially since Faraday it was not managing to see liquid to 50 atm and-110 °C, up to the experiments of Pictet and Cailletet that in 1877 managed to liquefy it. The compounds of nitrogen already were known in the Middle Ages; this way, the alchemists were calling aqua fortis to the nitric acid and aqua royal (royal water) to the mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid, known by his aptitude to dissolve the gold.

OXYGEN

The oxygen is a chemical element of atomic number 8 and symbol Or.
Traditionally this discovery has been attributed to the chemist Englishman Joseph Priestley (1733-1804), who discovered it in an independent way in 1772, though the first one that published a work on this gas and him gave name he was the chemical Frenchman Lavoisier (1743-1794) in 1777. Did it use for it two Greek ὀξύς (Oxýs) (acid, "literally "sharp", for the flavor of the acids) -γενής (-genes) generator, which it generates "), because he believed that the oxygen was the indispensable constituent one of the acids.
The oxygen is the most abundant third element in the Sun, and plays a role in the cycle of the carbon - nitrogen, a process responsible for the production of stellar energy.

The neptunio is a radioactive metal of the "rare" lands and has at least 3 allotropic forms. Quarter of the family of the actínidos or the second period of transition hospitalizes of the periodic system of the elements.

It is one of the elements transuránicos of the group of the actínidos of the periodic system. His name derives from the Roman god of the hells, Pluto (mythology).
The isotopes of the plutonium were prepared and studied by the first time by the American chemist Glenn T. Seaborg and his companions of the University of California in Berkeley, in 1940. They have found minor quantities of the element in the mines of uranium, but at present relatively big quantities of plutonium are prepared in the nuclear reactors.

TITANIUM

The titanium is a chemical element, of symbol You and atomic number 22. Silver treats itself about a metal of transition of gray color. It has high resistance to the corrosion and great mechanical resistance. It possesses mechanical properties similar to the steel, so much cigar as in the alloys that it forms. The titanium was declared strategic material on the part of The United States for many years and it can form alloys with other elements, such as iron, aluminium, vanadium, molybdenum.
The titanium (called this way by the Titans, children of Uranus and Gea in the Greek mythology) was discovered in England by William Gregor, in 1791, when a metal of color was studying grey - silver that he had found. Little later, in 1795, the German chemist Martin Kalprotz, discoverer also of the uranium, gave the name of titanium. The titanium is present in the meteorites and in the Sun.

RUBIDIO

The rubidio is a chemical element of the periodic table. His symbol is the Rb and his atomic number is 37. The rubidio is an alkaline soft metal, of silver color brilliant white that it mists rapidly to the air, very I reactivate (it is the second alkaline element more electropositivo) and one can find liquid to temperature set. As other elements of the group 1 can burn spontaneously in air with flame of violet yellowish color, reacts violently with the water detaching hidrógenoy form it amalgamates with mercury.

It can form alloys with the gold, other alkaline metals, and alcalinotérreos, antimony and bismuth.

The rubidio (of the Latin rubidus, blond) was discovered in 1861 by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff in the lepidolita using a spectroscope on having detected both red stripes typical of the spectrum of emission of this element and that are the reason of his name.

This element started being used in photoelectric cells.
