The Elements (song) "The Elements" is a song by musical humorist and lecturer Tom Lehrer, which recites the names of all the chemical elements known at the time of writing, up to number 102, nobelium. It was written in 1959 and can be found on his albums "Tom Lehrer in Concert", "More of Tom Lehrer" and "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer". The song is sung to the tune of the Major-General's Song from "The Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan.

Major-General's Song "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" (often referred to as the "Major-General's Song" or "Modern Major-General's Song") is a patter song from Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879 comic opera "The Pirates of Penzance". It is perhaps the most famous song in Gilbert and Sullivan's operas. It is sung by Major General Stanley at his first entrance, towards the end of Act I. The song satirises the idea of the "modern" educated British Army officer of the latter 19th century. It is one of the most difficult patter songs to perform, due to the fast pace and tongue-twisting nature of the lyrics.

Molybdenum Molybdenum is a chemical element with symbol Mo and atomic number 42. The name is from Neo-Latin "molybdaenum", from Ancient Greek Μόλυβδος "molybdos ", meaning lead, since its ores were confused with lead ores. Molybdenum minerals have been known throughout history, but the element was discovered (in the sense of differentiating it as a new entity from the mineral salts of other metals) in 1778 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele. The metal was first isolated in 1781 by Peter Jacob Hjelm.

Seikilos epitaph The Seikilos epitaph is the oldest surviving complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world. The epitaph has been dated variously from around 200 BC to around AD 100, but the first century AD is the most probable guess. The song, the melody of which is recorded, alongside its lyrics, in the ancient Greek musical notation, was found engraved on a tombstone (a stele) from the Hellenistic town Tralles near Aydın, Turkey, not far from Ephesus. It is a Hellenistic Ionic song in either the Phrygian octave species or Iastian tonos. While older music with notation exists (for example the Hurrian songs), all of it is in fragments; the Seikilos epitaph is unique in that it is a complete, though short, composition.

11 o'clock number 11 o'clock number is a theatre term for a big, show-stopping song that occurs late in the second act of a two-act musical, in which a major character, often the protagonist, comes to an important realization. Recent examples include "God Answered My Prayers" in "Hands on a Hardbody", "Laura, Laura" in "High Fidelity", "Work the Wound" in "Passing Strange", and "Wake Me Up When September Ends" in "American Idiot." It was so named because in the days when musical performances would start at 8:30 pm, this song would occur around 11:00 pm.

Metal ions in aqueous solution A metal ion in aqueous solution (aqua ion) is a cation, dissolved in water, of chemical formula [M(HO)]. The solvation number, "n", determined by a variety of experimental methods is 4 for Li and Be and 6 for elements in periods 3 and 4 of the periodic table. Lanthanide and actinide aqua ions have solvation number of 8 and 9. The strength of the bonds between the metal ion and water molecules in the primary solvation shell increases with the electrical charge, "z", on the metal ion and decreases as its radius, "r", increases. Aqua ions are subject to hydrolysis. The logarithm of the first hydrolysis constant is proportional to "z"/"r" for most aqua ions. The aqua ion is associated, through hydrogen bonding with other water molecules in a secondary solvation shell. Water molecules in the first hydration shell exchange with molecules in the second solvation shell and molecules in the bulk liquid. The residence time of a molecule in the first shell varies among the chemical elements from about 100 picoseconds to more than 200 years. Aqua ions are prominent in electrochemistry.

Metal A metal (from Greek μέταλλον "métallon", "mine, quarry, metal") is a material (an element, compound, or alloy) that is typically hard, opaque, shiny, and has good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals are generally malleable—that is, they can be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking—as well as fusible (able to be fused or melted) and ductile (able to be drawn out into a thin wire). About 91 of the 118 elements in the periodic table are metals; the others are nonmetals or metalloids. Some elements appear in both metallic and non-metallic forms.

Elementeo In the Elementeo Chemistry Card Game, elements have their own personalities—Oxygen becomes Oxygen Life-Giver, Sodium becomes Sodium Dragon, and Iodine becomes Iodine Mermaid. Elements can combine to make compounds and interact with properties and oxidation states. For example, Oxygen Life Giver rusts metals, Copper Cyclops shocks element cards around him, and Helium Genie airlifts element cards. The goal of the game is to capture your opponent’s electrons and reduce them to 0.

Humpty Dumpty Humpty Dumpty is a character in an English nursery rhyme, probably originally a riddle and one of the best known in the English-speaking world. He is typically portrayed as a personified egg, though he is not explicitly described as such. The first recorded versions of the rhyme date from late eighteenth-century England and the tune from 1870 in James William Elliott's "National Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs". Its origins are obscure and several theories have been advanced to suggest original meanings.

Iodine Iodine is a chemical element with symbol I and atomic number 53. The heaviest of the stable halogens, it exists as a lustrous, purple-black metallic solid at standard conditions that sublimes readily to form a violet gas. The elemental form was discovered by the French chemist Bernard Courtois in 1811. It was named two years later by Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac from this property, after the Greek "ἰωδης" "violet-coloured".

Pentachlorobenzene Pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CHCl which is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon. It consists of a benzene ring substituted with five chlorine atoms. PeCB was once used industrially for a variety of uses, but because of environmental concerns there are currently no large scale uses of PeCB. Pentachlorobenzene is a known persistent organic pollutants (POP), classified among the "dirty dozen" and banned globally by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants as of 2011.

Unbennaeth Prydain Unbennaeth or Unbeinyaeth Prydein (Welsh for  "The Monarchy of Britain") was an Old Welsh composition that served as a kind of national anthem in Wales in the Early Middle Ages. The bards of the royal courts of Aberffraw, Dinefwr, Mathrafal, and Caerleon were required by law to follow the army and recite the song before and after every battle. For this service, he received the next-best beast from the spoils after the king's and was valued at 126 cows.

Tetrad (music) A tetrad is a set of four notes in music theory. When these four notes form a tertian chord they are more specifically called a "seventh chord", after the diatonic interval from the root of the chord to its fourth note (in root position close voicing). Four-note chords are often formed of intervals other than thirds in 20th- and 21st-century music, however, where they are more generally referred to as "tetrads" (see, for example, , , and ). Allen Forte in his "The Structure of Atonal Music" never uses the term "tetrad", but occasionally employs the word "tetrachord" to mean any collection of four pitch classes . In 20th-century music theory, such sets of four pitch classes are usually called "tetrachords" (; ).

2112 (song) "2112" (pronounced twenty-one twelve) is a side-long title track from Canadian rock band Rush's 1976 album of the same name. The overture and the first section, "Temples of Syrinx", were released as a single and have been featured in most of Rush's setlists since. The "sci-fi" sounds in the beginning of the song were created using an ARP Odyssey synthesizer and an Echoplex tape delay. On the "2112 / Moving Pictures" episode of the documentary series "Classic Albums", producer Terry Brown states the synth intro is composed of various parts played by Hugh Syme that were put together in a collage. Since 1997, when any parts of the song are performed live, they are transposed down one full step, as heard on every live album and DVD from "Different Stages" forward.

Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture Arranged by Gershwin's good friend and sometimes assistant Robert Russell Bennett in 1942, Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture includes most of the best-known songs from the Gershwin opera "Porgy and Bess", although not exactly in the order of their appearance. Though the Symphonic Picture is sometimes dismissed as a sequence of the opera's "greatest hits," the first well-known melody, "Summertime," is not heard until nearly seven minutes into the work. While some of the more esoteric parts of the opera are absent, much of the catchier tunes can be heard only in this suite and not in others, as Gershwin neglected to include them in his "Catfish Row Suite", which tended to highlight the more cerebral elements of the work.

Pyrithione Pyrithione is the common name of an organosulfur compound with molecular formula C5H5NOS , chosen as an abbreviation of pyri thione , and found in the Persian shallot. It exists as a pair of tautomers, the major form being the thione 1-hydroxy-2(1"H")-pyridinethione and the minor form being the thiol 2-mercaptopyridine "N"-oxide; it crystallises in the thione form. It is usually prepared from either 2-bromopyridine, 2-chloropyridine, or 2-chloropyridine "N"-oxide, and is commercially available as both the neutral compound and its sodium salt. It is used to prepare zinc pyrithione, which is used primarily to treat dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis in medicated shampoos, though is also an anti-fouling agent in paints.
