Study Notes

Hydrogen

  • Represented by a red container.
  • Production methods include the Messerschmidt process and Lane process.
  • Most abundant element in the universe, also the lightest.

Lithium

  • Recognized as the lightest metal.
  • Unique among metals for having a boiling point exceeding 100°C.
  • Utilized as a heat exchanger in air conditioning systems.
  • Plays a role in treating bipolar disorder, aiding during both manic and depressed states.

Sodium

  • Known as "Natrium," which translates to nature.
  • Aldosterone hormone activation occurs with increased sodium levels, leading to elevated water levels and reduced potassium levels; can result in muscle weakness and paralysis.
  • Blocking aldosterone results in decreased sodium and water levels, contrastingly increasing potassium levels.
  • Sodium is a major cation in the extracellular fluid.
  • A reciprocal relationship exists between lithium and sodium, where an increase in one results in a decrease of the other, known as Hypo Na Tremia.
  • Recommendations indicate not to restrict sodium intake.

Potassium

  • Distinguished as the primary cation within cells (intracellularly).
  • The mnemonic "PISO" helps remember potassium's location: Potassium Inside, Sodium Outside.
