Samarium, Sm
Samarium, Sm, (V. Samarskiǐ-Vykhovets, 1803-70, Russia), in samarskite and monazite and rare earth minerals, hard, grey.
Samarium, Table of the Elements
Samarium-153, reactor-produced medical radioisotope, half-life 46.7 hours, is used to treat pain from primary tumour metastases.
Scandium, Sc
Scandium, Sc (Latin Scandia, Scandinavia), transition metal, silver, but pink-yellow, tarnishes in air, soft, in some tin and tungsten ores.
Scandium, Table of the Elements
Scandium, Coelestine, SrSO4
Scandium trifluoride, ScF3, negative thermal expansion
Seaborgium, Sg

Selenium, Se
Selenium, Table of the Elements
Selenium, Se, (Greek selēnē moon), powder, AAS solution.
Selenium, powder, Highly toxic by all routes, do not inhale, do not touch fine particles.
Selenium, essential trace element, with vitamin E an antioxidant, nutrient of nervous system, food supplement grow yeast on selenium.
Selenic acid, H2SeO4, alkaloid reagent, oxidizing agent.
Selenium dioxide with water --> selenious acid, H2SeO3
Selenium dioxide, SeO2, colourless solid, most common selenium compound, Highly toxic by all routes, slightly volatile, avoid inhaling fine particles, to avoid toxic vapour do not heat.
Selenium disulfide, SeS2, called "selenium disulfide", antifungal agent in dandruff shampoo
Selenium hexasulfide, Se2S6, oxidizing agent
Hydrogen selenide, H2Se, colourless gas, irritating horrible smell
Selenium, Se, is a non-metal, obtained from sulfide ores, decolorizes glass, semiconductor that conducts electricity when an EMF is applied, used in photoelectric cells and light meters.
Similar properties: to sulfur.
The Kjeldahl catalyst is sodium sulfate + selenium.
Selenium is a trace mineral used to destroy hydrogen peroxide.
The recommended daily allowance, RDA, is 70 g for males, and 55 g for females.
The Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa), is one of the best sources of selenium, an antioxidant that strengthens the immune system.
Atomic number: 34, Relative atomic mass: 78.96, RD 4.81, MP = 217oC, BP = 685oC.
Specific heat capacity: 322 J kg-1 K-1.
Selenium (keep exhibition specimen in sealed container).
Use a fume cupboard or small quantity in well-ventilated area.
The mineral called "selenite" does not contain the atom "Selenium", Se!
