 CHEMISTRY AND HEART CHOLESTROL- SOURCE- WAVEMAGAZINEONLINE What do we know about cholesterol or what is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that are needed to make some useful hormones and is found in our blood. Cholesterol is actually needed to build certain kind of cells, but the it's presence in large quantities can have harmful effects too. It comes from two sources, first, our liver makes cholesterol that we need, the other source is, it can be obtained from food which are derived from other animals. Now, there are two types of cholesterol- 1. LDL Cholesterol- LDL stands for "low-density lipoprotein". This type of parcel protein transports cholesterol from liver to rest of the body, high levels of LDL cholesterol leads to high chances of cardiovascular diseases. It is sometimes referred to as bad cholesterol. 2. HDL Cholesterol- "HDL" stands for "high-density lipoprotein". This type of protein transports cholesterol back to liv

Properties of FIRST FIVE ELEMENTS IN PERIODIC TABLE

FIRST FIVE ELEMENTS

We all are aware or might have heard about the names of 118 elements and the periodic table. We might know the positions of the elements in the periodic table but do we know some of the properties of these elements. Here I have tried to give you some of the properties of first five elements of the periodic table. They are as follows-

1) HYDROGEN

  • LATIN NUMBER- HYDROGENIUM
  • ENGLISH NAME- HYDROGEN
  • YEAR DISCOVERED- 1766
  • DISCOVERED BY- HENRY CAVENDISH
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRON- 1
  • NUMBER OF PROTONS- 1
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRONS- 0
Hydrogen is a chemical element of symbol- 'H' and has atomic number of 1. The atomic weight of hydrogen is 1.00794u, Hydrogen is the lightest element of the periodic table. It is the most abundant element in the universe. It is a monoatomic element.

2) HELIUM

  • LATIN NUMBER- 
    HELIUM
  • ENGLISH NAME- HELIUM
  • YEAR DISCOVERED- 1895
  • DISCOVERED BY- Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen, Joseph Norman Lockyer
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRON- 2
  • NUMBER OF PROTONS- 2
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRONS- 2
  • MELTING POINT- (-272.2℃)
  • BOILING POINT- (-268.9℃)
  • BLOCK- p-block

Helium is a chemical element of symbol- 'He' and has atomic number of 2. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert, monoatomic gas that occupies the topmost group of the noble gases. It's boiling and melting points are the lowest among all the elements. It's atomic weight is 4.0026(g/mole).

3) LITHIUM

  • LATIN NUMBER- LITHIUM
  • ENGLISH NAME- LITHIUM
  • YEAR DISCOVERED- 1817
  • DISCOVERED BY- Johan August Arfwedson
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRON- 3
  • NUMBER OF PROTONS- 3
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRONS- 4
  • MELTING POINT- (180.5℃)
  • BOILING POINT- (1342.0℃)
  • BLOCK- s-block

Lithium is a chemical element of symbol- 'Li' and has atomic number of 3. It is a soft silver-white metal belonging to alkali metal group.

4) BERYLLIUM

  • LATIN NUMBER- Beryllium
  • ENGLISH NAME- Beryllium
  • YEAR DISCOVERED- 1798
  • DISCOVERED BY- Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRON- 4
  • NUMBER OF PROTONS- 4
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRONS- 5
  • MELTING POINT- (1278.0℃)
  • BOILING POINT- (2970.0℃)
  • BLOCK- s-block

Beryllium is a chemical element with symbol 'Be' and atomic number 4. It is a relatively rare element in the universe. It is created through stellar nucleosynthesis.

5) BORON

  • LATIN NUMBER- BORUM
  • ENGLISH NAME- BORON
  • YEAR DISCOVERED- 1808
  • DISCOVERED BY- Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, Louis Jacques Thenard, Humphrey Davy
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRON- 5
  • NUMBER OF PROTONS- 5
  • NUMBER OF ELECTRONS- 6
  • MELTING POINT- (2075.8℃)
  • BOILING POINT- (3926.8℃)
  • BLOCK- p-block
Boron is a metalloid chemical element with symbol 'B' and atomic number 5. It is a low-abundant element both in solar system and earth's crust. It is formed by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae.

THANK YOU for reading. The properties of other elements will be uploaded soon and their will will also be dropped.
STAY TUNED :)
