Hi Relentless and bobbym,

The Answer #5754 is correct! Good work, Relentless and bobbym!

#5755. Name the element - A radioactive metallic chemical element with atomic number 98. The element was first made in 1950 at the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, by bombarding curium with alpha particles (helium-4 ions). It is an actinide element, the sixth transuranium element to be synthesized, and has the second-highest atomic mass of all the elements that have been produced in amounts large enough to see with the unaided eye (after einsteinium).

#5756. The heating value (or energy value) of a substance, usually a fuel or food, is the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified amount of it. The energy value is a characteristic for each substance. It is measured in units of energy per unit of the substance, usually mass, such as: kJ/kg, kJ/mol, kcal/kg, Btu/lb. Heating value is commonly determined by use of a bomb calorimeter. What what other name is it known as?

#5757.  Canada balsam, also called Canada turpentine or balsam of fir, is a turpentine which is made from the resin of the balsam fir tree (Abies balsamea) of boreal North America. The resin, dissolved in essential oils, is a viscous, sticky, colourless or yellowish liquid that turns to a transparent yellowish mass when the essential oils have been allowed to evaporate. Due to its high optical quality and the similarity of its refractive index to that of crown glass, purified and filtered Canada balsam was traditionally used in optics as an invisible-when-dry glue for glass, such as lens elements. What is its refractive index?

#5758. An anode ray (also positive ray) is a beam of positive ions that is created by certain types of gas discharge tubes. They were first observed in Crookes tubes during experiments by the German scientist Eugen Goldstein, in 1886. Later work on anode rays by Wilhelm Wien and J. J. Thomson led to the development of mass spectrometry. By what other name is it known?
