INORGANIC - notes

• The periodic table consists of 7 periods and 18 groups.
• Group A of the periodic table consists of representative elements.
• Group B of the periodic table consists of transition elements.
• Inner transition elements have similar properties and characteristics to Group B elements.
• Group IA of the periodic table consists of alkali metals, which are the most reactive metals, with a valence electron of 1, an activity that increases with atomic number, and alkalinity that increases with atomic number.
• Sulfur (S) is obtained from crude furnaces and can also be synthesized via the Frasch Process.
• Group VIA includes the chalcogens Oxygen (O2) and Sulfur (S).
• Other names for Oxygen (O2) include Empyreal air, Oephlogiscated air, Yne, and Acid former.
• Group IIA of the periodic table consists of alkaline earth metals, which have similar properties and characteristics to Group IA elements.
• Group VIA also includes Sulfur (S), also known as "Sufra", an arabic term which means yellow, Brimstone, and Shulbari, the enemy of copper.
• The container for Oxygen (O2) is green.
• Vleminckx’s solution is obtained by heating lime or Calcium oxide with Sublimed sulfur.
• Sulfur (S) is used in the preparation of scabicidal and keratolytic ointment/lotion, as a stimulant, depilatory agent, fumigant, and anti-dandruff agent.
• Oxygen (O2) is the most abundant element.
• Sublimed sulfur is a component of Vleminckx’s solution.
• Varieties of Sulfur (S) include Amorphous sulfur, Liquid sulfur, Plastic sulfur, Precipitated sulfur, Lac sulfur, and Milk sulfur.
• Oxygen (O2) is used in the treatment of hypoxia/asphyxia.
• Group VIA of the periodic table consists of chalcogens, which have similar properties and characteristics to Group IIA elements.
• Group VIIA of the periodic table consists of halogens, which have similar properties and characteristics to Group VIA elements.
• Group VIIIA of the periodic table consists of noble gases, sometimes referred to as Group O.
• Sodium fluoride is the first fluoride compound used in water fluoridation.
• Sodium fluoride has cariogenic properties, especially in those with fluoride.
• Sodium iodide is a solubilizer of iodine, expectorant, antifungal, and treatment for goiter.
• Sodium fluoride has anticariogenic properties when used in a 2% solution.
• Sodium phosphate is a reducing agent.
• Sodium lactate is an antacid used in the management of acidosis and a diuretic.
• Labarraque's Solution is an oxidizing and bleaching agent.
• Sodium fluoride stimulates bone formation.
• Sodium nitrite, also known as Salitre in the Philippine market, is a vasodilator, preservative, and treatment of cyanide poisoning.
• Sodium hydroxide is a component of soda lime (Ca (OH)2),NaOH, KOH)- carbon dioxide absorber.
• Labarraque's Solution is used as a disinfectant and a bleaching agent.
• Sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda, sosa, or Lye (CSL), is a saponifying agent and a titrant for acid.
• Sodium hypochlorite, also known as Daikin's solution or Chlorox, is a component of Daikin's Solution (5% of NaClO) and Modified Dakin's Solution, which is a diluted NaClO solution, NF.
• Sodium nitrite is highly correlated to brain tumors and digestive tract, cancer, due to nitrosamine production.
• Sodium hydroxide is a deliquescent substance.
• Group IB of the periodic table consists of coinage metals, which have similar properties and characteristics to Group IIB elements.
• Group IIB of the periodic table consists of volatile metals, which have similar properties and characteristics to Group IB elements.
• Attapulgite is a hydrate Mg - Al silicate and is used as a polymagma, diatabs, and as an anti-flatulent.
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used in the treatment of acne, warts, corns, calluses, and eczema.
• Carbon is the only element that can form a bond with itself, a process known as catenation.
