- Element with symbol Ba - Metallic element - Silvery-white element - Silvery-White Metallic Element - Soft silvery-white element - One of the elements, belonging to the alkaline earth group;
a metal having a silver-white color, and melting at a very high
temperature. It is difficult to obtain the pure metal, from the
facility with which it becomes oxidized in the air. Atomic weight, 137.
Symbol, Ba. Its oxide called baryta.
- Metallic element - Silvery-white element - A rare metallic element, discovered in certain ores of
zinc, by means of its characteristic spectrum of two indigo blue lines;
hence, its name. In appearance it resembles zinc, being white or lead
gray, soft, malleable and easily fusible, but in its chemical relation
it resembles aluminium or gallium. Symbol In. Atomic weight, 113.4.
- Element Na - Element with symbol Na - Salt, ... chloride - Silvery-white element - A common metallic element of the alkali group, in nature
always occuring combined, as in common salt, in albite, etc. It is
isolated as a soft, waxy, white, unstable metal, so readily oxidized
that it combines violently with water, and to be preserved must be kept
under petroleum or some similar liquid. Sodium is used combined in many
salts, in the free state as a reducer, and as a means of obtaining
other metals (as magnesium and aluminium) is an important commercial
product. Symbol Na (Natrium). Atomic weight 23. Specific gravity 0.97.
- Climb - Climb with difficulty - Scramble - Soft silver-white element - To climb with difficulty, or with hands and feet; --
also used figuratively. - The act of clambering. - To ascend by climbing with difficulty.
- Battery element - Biblical sea-monster - Camera battery metal - Element, Li - Soft silver-white element - A metallic element of the alkaline group, occurring in
several minerals, as petalite, spodumene, lepidolite, triphylite, etc.,
and otherwise widely disseminated, though in small quantities.
- Bone material - Silvery-White Metallic Element - An elementary substance; a metal which combined with
oxygen forms lime. It is of a pale yellow color, tenacious, and
malleable. It is a member of the alkaline earth group of elements.
Atomic weight 40. Symbol Ca.
- A rare metallic element. It occurs quite widely, but in
small quantities, and always combined. It is isolated as a soft
yellowish white metal, analogous to potassium in most of its
properties. Symbol Rb. Atomic weight, 85.2.
- A rare metallic element of the aluminium group found in
some minerals, as certain pyrites, and also in the lead-chamber deposit
in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. It is isolated as a heavy, soft,
bluish white metal, easily oxidized in moist air, but preserved by
keeping under water. Symbol Tl. Atomic weight 203.7.
