Sentences with GERMANIUM (5)
Mendeleeff gave the discovery fullest expression, explicating it in 1869, under the title of "the periodic law." Though this early exposition of what has since been admitted to be a most important discovery was very fully outlined, the generality of chemists gave it little heed till a decade or so later, when three new elements, gallium, scandium, and germanium, were discovered, which, on being analyzed, were quite unexpectedly found to fit into three gaps which Mendeleeff had left in his periodic scale.
For instance it was in this way that Mendeléef, the Russian chemist, assumed the existence of three then unknown chemical elements, now called Scandium, Gallium and Germanium.
There is one tetrahedron within the unknown element occultum; two appear in helium (3 on Plate III); yttrium has also two within its cube, as has germanium; five, intersecting, are found in neon, meta-neon, argon, metargon, krypton, meta-krypton, xenon, meta-xenon, kalon, meta-kalon, tin, titanium and zirconium.
Its negative pendant shows the same form in silicon, germanium and tin; again, the fourth was unexamined.
SILICON: 8 funnels of 65 atoms 520 Atomic weight 28.18 Number weight 520/18 28.88 GERMANIUM (Plate XVI, 2) shows the eight funnels, containing each four segments (XVI, 4), within which are three ovoids and a "cigar." In this case the funnels radiate from a central globe, formed of two intersecting tetrahedra, with "cigars" at each point enclosing a four-atomed globe.
