Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^ At standard pressure and temperature, for the elements in their most thermodynamically stable forms, unless otherwise noted
  2. ^ Copernicium is reported to be the only metal known to be a gas at room temperature.[13]
  3. ^ Whether polonium is ductile or brittle is unclear. It is predicted to be ductile based on its calculated elastic constants.[18] It has a simple cubic crystalline structure. Such a structure has few slip systems and "leads to very low ductility and hence low fracture resistance".[19]
  4. ^ Carbon as exfoliated (expanded) graphite,[21] and as metre-long carbon nanotube wire;[22] phosphorus as white phosphorus (soft as wax, pliable and can be cut with a knife, at room temperature);[23] sulfur as plastic sulfur;[24] and selenium as selenium wires.[25]
  5. ^ For polycrystalline forms of the elements unless otherwise noted. Determining Poisson's ratio accurately is a difficult proposition and there could be considerable uncertainty in some reported values.[26]
  6. ^ Beryllium has the lowest known value (0.0476) amongst elemental metals; indium and thallium each have the highest known value (0.46). Around one third show a value ≥ 0.33.[27]
  7. ^ Boron 0.13;[28] silicon 0.22;[29] germanium 0.278;[30] amorphous arsenic 0.27;[31] antimony 0.25;[32] tellurium ~0.2.[33]
  8. ^ Graphitic carbon 0.25;[34] [diamond 0.0718];[35] black phosphorus 0.30;[36] sulfur 0.287;[37] amorphous selenium 0.32;[38] amorphous iodine ~0.[39]
  9. ^ At atmospheric pressure, for elements with known structures
  10. ^ The Goldhammer-Herzfeld criterion is a ratio that compares the force holding an individual atom's valence electrons in place with the forces, acting on the same electrons, arising from interactions between the atoms in the solid or liquid element. When the interatomic forces are greater than or equal to the atomic force, valence electron itinerancy is indicated. Metallic behaviour is then predicted.[51] Otherwise nonmetallic behaviour is anticipated. The Goldhammer-Herzfeld criterion is based on classical arguments.[52] It nevertheless offers a relatively simple first order rationalization for the occurrence of metallic character amongst the elements.[53]
  11. ^ Metals have electrical conductivity values of from 6.9 × 103 S•cm−1 for manganese to 6.3 × 105 for silver.[56]
  12. ^ Metalloids have electrical conductivity values of from 1.5 × 10−6 S•cm−1 for boron to 3.9 × 104 for arsenic.[58] If selenium is included as a metalloid the applicable conductivity range would start from ~10−9 to 10−12 S•cm−1.[59][60][61]
  13. ^ Nonmetals have electrical conductivity values of from ~10−18 S•cm−1 for the elemental gases to 3 × 104 in graphite.[62]
  14. ^ Mott and Davis[64] note however that 'liquid europium has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance' i.e. that conductivity increases with rising temperature
  15. ^ At or near room temperature
  16. ^ Chedd[88] defines metalloids as having electronegativity values of 1.8 to 2.2 (Allred-Rochow scale). He included boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium and astatine in this category. In reviewing Chedd's work, Adler[89] described this choice as arbitrary, given other elements have electronegativities in this range, including copper, silver, phosphorus, mercury and bismuth. He went on to suggest defining a metalloid simply as, 'a semiconductor or semimetal' and 'to have included the interesting materials bismuth and selenium in the book'.
  17. ^ Phosphorus is known to form a carbide in thin films.
  18. ^ See, for example, the sulfates of the transition metals,[98] the lanthanides[99] and the actinides.[100]
  19. ^ Sulfates of osmium have not been characterized with any great degree of certainty.[101]
  20. ^ Common metalloids: Boron is reported to be capable of forming an oxysulfate (BO)2SO4,[102] a bisulfate B(HSO4)3[103] and a sulfate B2(SO4)3.[104] The existence of a sulfate has been disputed.[105] In light of the existence of silicon phosphate, a silicon sulfate might also exist.[106] Germanium forms an unstable sulfate Ge(SO4)2 (d 200 °C).[107] Arsenic forms oxide sulfates As2O(SO4)2 (= As2O3.2SO3)[108] and As2(SO4)3 (= As2O3.3SO3).[109] Antimony forms a sulfate Sb2(SO4)3 and an oxysulfate (SbO)2SO4.[110] Tellurium forms an oxide sulfate Te2O3(SO)4.[111] Less common: Polonium forms a sulfate Po(SO4)2.[112] It has been suggested that the astatine cation forms a weak complex with sulfate ions in acidic solutions.[113]
  21. ^ Hydrogen forms hydrogen sulfate H2SO4. Carbon forms (a blue) graphite hydrogen sulfate C+
    24    HSO–
    4     • 2.4H2SO4.[114]     Nitrogen forms nitrosyl hydrogen sulfate (NO)HSO4 and nitronium (or nitryl) hydrogen sulfate (NO2)HSO4.[115] There are indications of a basic sulfate of selenium SeO2.SO3 or SeO(SO4).[116] Iodine forms a polymeric yellow sulfate (IO)2SO4.[117]
  22. ^ layer-lattice types often reversibly so
  23. ^ Based on a table of the elemental composition of the biosphere, and lithosphere (crust, atmosphere, and seawater) in Georgievskii,[125] and the masses of the crust and hydrosphere give in Lide and Frederikse.[126] The mass of the biosphere is negligible, having a mass of about one billionth that of the lithosphere.[citation needed] "The oceans constitute about 98 percent of the hydrosphere, and thus the average composition of the hydrosphere is, for all practical purposes, that of seawater."[127]
  24. ^ Hydrogen gas is produced by some bacteria and algae and is a natural component of flatus. It can be found in the Earth's atmosphere at a concentration of 1 part per million by volume.
  25. ^ Fluorine can be found in its elemental form, as an occlusion in the mineral antozonite[129]
