Chemical Balance: the Greatest Need on Earth!

As the planet progresses in age, there is a huge inclination towards artificial things. Our bodies can be at their best when they are in equilibrium with a balanced environment.

As time progresses, our environmental balance gets more and more lopsided. Electron deficiency has been adding to the imbalance. Right from the air we breathe and the foods we consume to the clothes we wear and the cosmetics we use, the natural factor is becoming less and the artificial factor is rising. The imbalance is on the increase. Our lifestyle can be the major contributor to our health or ill health.

Acidemia is a condition when the blood becomes acidic.When the body's acid-base balance is disrupted due to factors such as environmental toxins and other factors, acidemia is the result. Although we do not deliberately create conditions that lead to acidemia, we gradually allow them to invade our lives and our bodies, ultimately leading to a host of degenerative disorders that seem to show up from nowhere.

Environmental Abuse. We face the abuse from environmental toxins and organic solvents on a daily basis. Most of the time, we favor conditions that lead to acidemia. The conditions include exposure to environmental toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides and organic solvents. Lack of natural foods and the consumption of artificial foods, coffee, carbonated drinks, red meat and high transfat products lead to conditions conducive to acidemia.

Most people think pasteurized or homogenized milk is the best, but research has shown that although pasteurization kills germs, it changes the structure of milk proteins making it less healthy and difficult to digest. Moreover, it destroys beneficial bacteria, enzymes and vitamins. Lack of exercise or over exercising can also lead to acidemia.

Conditions such as osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, urinary stones, muscle atrophy, obesity and cancer may be indicators of acidemia. Clinical indicators such as a blood pH level below 7.4 may hint at acidemia. At the same time a low salivary and urine pH may also show acidemia. Other indicators such as calcium oxalate stones, low phosphorus and albumin levels could also be pointing towards acidemia.

Electron Deficiency And Free Radicals. Acidemia is the result of electron deficiency.Our body cells are composed of molecules. These molecules are made up of atoms of the same or different elements that are joined together by chemical bonds. An atom consists of positively charged protons inside the nucleus and equal number of negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus in discrete orbits or shells. Each orbit or shell requires a fixed number of electrons in order to be stable. When this outer shell is complete, the atom is stable and doesn't react or interfere with other atoms. When the outer orbit or the valence shell is incomplete, atoms try to fill this place by gaining, losing or sharing electrons with other atoms or molecules. Electron deficient atoms "steal" electrons from other atoms. When chemical bonds holding two atoms break, the atoms that separate, may become electron-deficient. They are called free radicals. These free radicals are very unstable and react quickly with other compounds in order to gain the required electrons. They "steal" electrons from vulnerable molecules. These molecules that have been attacked, now become electron-deficient and they become free radicals themselves. These molecules now begin to "steal" electrons from other molecules. This is a chain reaction that produces innumerable 'bad' molecules or free radicals. These free radicals end up destroying the cells of the body, leading to diseases. This is where the "good" molecules or antioxidants come into the picture. Antioxidants neutralize the free radicals by donating their own electrons and ending the electron "stealing" spree. The antioxidants do not become free radicals because they are stable in either form.

pH and Electron Deficiency. Electron deficiency denotes acidity and leads to acidemia.pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. A solution with a pH of 7.0 is neither acidic nor alkaline. When the solution is electron-deficient, the solution is acidic and the pH is less than 7.0. When the solution is electron-rich, the solution is alkaline and the pH is more than 7.0. Acidemia is a condition when tissue fluids are acidic or electron-deficient.

The Chemical Imbalance. If all atoms had a stable outer orbit they would be happy and the world would be a place with all elements in perfect harmony. The energy produced by the movement of electrons is either used up for vital functions or given out by our bodies. This means that all life processes are dependent upon the activity of electrons. The inclination of the modern age towards artificial products has produced an electron-deficient environment. Simply put, all artificial material we see and feel and breathe and eat and apply on our skin are electron-deficient. This electron-deficiency causes an imbalance in our modern day lives and permeates the air we breathe, the water we drink and the foods we eat, resulting in acidemia. When the body continues to be in need of electrons that produce energy, it gets tired, and its ability to fight diseases decreases.

Free Calcium Excess. The vicious circle that results from the action of free radicals cannot be underestimated. In order to counter acidemia caused by free radicals, the body extracts phosphate buffers from the bones. This results in free calcium excess being released by the bones, leading to osteoporosis, osteopenia and various other bone diseases. Free calcium excess plays havoc in the body. It gets excreted into the urine causing urinary stones. Free calcium excess deposits itself in tissues causing arteriosclerosis, leading to heart attacks, angina and stroke. Moreover, free calcium excess also causes connective tissue breakdown. Since connective tissue holds the body together, its breakdown leads to degenerative diseases.

Getting Your Act Together In an age when we cannot control external environmental factors, we must hold ourselves accountable for eating the right types of food, limiting exposure to environmental toxins and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We must avoid the consumption of oxidized foods such as powdered milk, fried foods and hydrogenated oils and other processed foods, as they are devoid of antioxidants and lead to acidemia. Fresh fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin E, A, carotenoids, Coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, lycopene, selenium and flavonoids should be eaten daily.

Eating natural whole foods, drinking filtered water, avoiding amalgam fillings and avoiding the use of pesticides in our homes and backyards, are small steps that go a long way in preventing acidemia and maintaining the balance of the world we live in.

Theoretical question regarding the excited states of atoms, this is not homework just curiosity?

So we were reviewing excited states of atoms a few days ago, when I suddenly had the following pop in my head:

When electrons move to higher energy levels, do they stay in the same orbital? for instance, if hydrogen becomes excited and its electron moves to the 6th energy level, is it absolutely no doubt in the 6s1 state? or is there a possibility that it may be in the p orbital instead such as 6p1? And if this is possible, does that mean that orbitals such as g or h are necessary for atoms moving to the higher energy levels despite the fact that no atoms so far have these orbitals in the ground state?

No they don't have to stay in the excited state. In fact, they probably don't. Matter tends towards a lower energy state, so that electron will probably find a way to get back to the ground state. The Heisenberg uncertainty principles forbids you to "absolutely no doubt" know it's in the 6s1 state. There is a possibility that it is in every allowable orbital.

As for your question about g and h orbitals, it depends on how you are defining "excited state." (g and h refer to electron angular momentum) For instance, when you have a transition between 1s to 2s, this is an electronic transition. In this case, the spin, and angular momentum are conserved. When you excited an electron from 2s to 2p, you change the angular momentum of the electron. So I'm trying to say that you can have an electron in the excited state that is not in an excited angular momentum state. Electronic transitions are the most energetic out of all the other transitions (vibration, rotation, spin). However, the energy gap does decrease when you get to higher angular momentums. I'm kind of just rambling on now...

But yeah, there probably are transitions into g and h orbitals. I don't know if we have measured them though.

If you have an electron in an f orbital ground state, you can excite it without entering a g orbital. (you could increase the electron energy level).

There are some fairly simple rules that dictate allowed and dis-allowed electronic transition. (Humorously, even the dis-allowed transitions are observed sometimes...). You should take a class on quantum mechanics.

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells (Hardcover) $76.23 A hydrogen economy, in which this one gas provides the source of all energy needs, is often touted as the long-term solution to the environmental and security problems associated with fossil fuels.

Fuel Cells, Engines and Hydrogen $125 Fuel cell technology is the most exciting and legitimate alternative source of power currently available to us as world resources of non-renewable fuel continue to be depleted. No other power generating technology holds the same benefits that fuel cells offer, including high reliability and efficiency, negligible environmental impact, and security of supply. Fuel cells run on hydrogen – the simplest and most plentiful gas in the universe - although they can also run on carbon monoxide, methane, or even coal. Their applications are diverse, from powering automobiles, buildings and portable electronics, to converting methane gas from wastewater plants and landfills into electricity. Fuel Cells, Engines and Hydrogen is a controversial text that challenges the accepted industry parameters for measuring fuel cell performance and efficiency. Based on his inter-disciplinary experience in the fields of power, nuclear power, and desalination, the author contends that the development potential of the fuel cell is related to the quantity fuel chemical exergy, which, like electrical potential, is a quantitative measure of work done. The fuel cell community currently characterises these devices in terms of the enthalpy of combustion (calorific value) – however the author argues a correct, qualitatively different and fourfold larger characterisation is via the fuel chemical exergy, in units of work, and not energy. He asserts that the distortion introduced by this accepted perspective needs to be corrected before relatively efficient fuel cells, integrated with comparatively low performing gas turbines, reach the market. Fuel Cells, Engines and Hydrogen features a foreword by Dr Gerry Agnew, Executive VP Engineering of Rolls Royce Fuel Cells Systems Ltd. It is essential reading for all engineers involved with fuel cells and/ or the manufacture of hydrogen from natural gas, as well as academics in related disciplines such as thermodynamics, physical chemistry, materials, physics, mechanical and chemical engineering.

Theory Of Orbital Motion $38.66 Keppler puzzled over it. So did Einstein. In fact, most of the greatest theorists had at least a thought or two about orbital motion, especially in the rise and growth of space science. Tan (physics, Alabama A&M U.) brings the concepts to the introductory and intermediate undergraduate levels, working primarily from first principles and beginning with Kepler`s laws of planetary motion and Newton`s law of gravitation. Thus armed, he explains the average and extremum values of variables, the central force problem, vector hodographs in planetary motion, planetary motion in Cartesian coordinates, the planetary problem in complex coordinates, Keplerian motion in the solar system, and planetary motion in three-dimensional space. He concludes with analyses of the motion of artificial earth satellites and the perturbations of satellite orbits, providing a fine treatment of the ellipse and its properties in an appendix.
