Lithium is a silvery, soft and light metal. So light in fact, it floats on water. While it floats on the water, it will react with the water, releasing hydrogen steadily. Lithium is also overall a more reactive element. Even though it reacts with water readily, lithium is used in multiple consumer products. Lithium-ion batteries fit a lot of energy into a light and small battery. Lithium stearate (LiO2C(CH2)16CH3) is used to make lithium grease, which is used on vehicles. People with bi-polar disorder may take lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) pills to help control and normalize their mood swings. When burned, lithium’s flame usually is red, but under the right conditions, it can be white. Lithium’s name comes from the Greek word for stone, ‘lithos’.

Litio es un metal que es plateado, suave y ligero. Tan ligero, se flota en agua. Cuando es flotando en la agua, litio va a reaccionar con la agua, liberando hidrógeno regularmente. Litio también es, en general, un elemento más reactivo. Aunque se reacciona con agua fácilmente, litio es usado en muchos productos para consumidores. Baterías de litio-ion empaca mucha energía en una batería que es ligero y pequeño. Estearato de litio (LiO2C(CH2)16CH3), es usado para crear grasa de litio, que es usado en vehículos. Personas con trastorno bipolar puede tomar carbonato de litio (Li2CO3) pastillas para ayudar controlar y normalizar sus cambios de humor. Cuando es quemado, la llama de litio es por lo general rojo, pero en los condiciones correctos, la llama puede ser blanco. El nombre para litio viene del palabra para piedra en griego, ‘lithos’.

What are the types of multilingualism? - Multilingualism part two

Image
The types of multilingualism are:  Individual Social Institutional Folk Elective  Ambilingual  Symmetric Asymmetric Individual multilingualism is where one specific individual knows two or more languages. Social multilingualism is where one community (ex. a town or a city) knows two or more languages. Each individual does not need to know all the languages or the community, but the community as a whole needs to speak at least two languages. Institutional multilingualism is when a company (or institution) offers their services in two or more languages. Again, each individual that work in the company does not need to know two or more languages. Folk multilingualism is when an individual uses two or more languages in their everyday life as a necessity. For example, at work you speak english, but you speak spanish with your grandparents because they don’t know english. Elective multilingualism is when an individual learns other languages because they wi

What does multilingualism mean? - Multilingualism part one

Image
Multilingualism means someone or something knows two or more languages. Some synonyms for multilingualism are plurilingualism, polyglot and polylingual. Be careful around the words ‘bilingual’ and ‘trilingual’, though. Bilingual means you know exactly two languages, white trilingual means you know exactly three languages. To truly be multilinguistic, you need to be able to function (read, write, and speak) well in two or more languages. These languages do not have to be the same fluency as one another, you can be better in one language and still be multilinguistic. Another use of the word ‘bilingual’ is in the insult for immigrant children, bilingual children. This usually refers to Mexican or Latino immigrants who immigrate to the US and speak Spanish. These people don’t usually speak two languages, however. The only major antonym for multilingualism is monolingual, which means you only speak one language. A sign that says 'exchange' in English, German, Italian, Spanish an

For the reason that it’s brittle, boron is used mostly in compounds. Boron nitride (BN) makes crystals similar to crystals that carbon (C) can create. Cubic boron nitride is very hard, and under certain definitions of ‘hard’, it could b
