===== Charged Elements =====

The words for **charged elements** (chemical elements that consist of charged fermions, i.e. our periodic table) in [[:Kendane͡ivash]] follow certain rules.

There are generally two ways to construct the names of these elements - a **short form** using an ''-yin'' base word based purely on the valence shell and electron shell count of the element, and a **long form** that describes the electron configuration of the element.

==== Short Form: Valence Shell Electrons and Number Of Electron Shells ====

The elemental short form often captures all necessary information about an 'element' - at least from a Threadwielder perspective: The total number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom and the number of shells the atom has (which is almost always the //period// of the element, with the exception of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palladium|palladium]]).

Consequently, there are 8 x 8 elements in the short form periodic table, of which some correspond to more than one of our 'basic elements':

//Palladium// does not exist in this periodic table, though it has a name that is constructed by the same rules: **raj'qyin** (or, since it is the only element with 18 valence electrons, simply referring to it as **qyin** is sufficiently unambiguous).

So **shaj'ryin** is an unambiguous reference to //carbon//, but **haj'shyin** refers to all [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanthanide|lanthanides]] and some [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal|transition metals]]. Depending on the context, this can completely suffice - but chances are that any scientific discussion will prefer the //long form// element construction.

==== Long Form: Electron Configuration ====

The elemental long form construction is very similar to the human way of describing an atom by its //[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configurations_of_the_elements_(data_page)|electron configuration]]//, although it discards some information that Threadwielders consider uninteresting in favour of (relative) brevity.

The notation takes note of the number of electrons in the topmost subshell of a certain kind, the number of electron shells that the atom has, and the number of electrons in the outermost (a/k/a valence) shell.

Assume an element has the following configuration:

^      shell ^ 1  ^ 2  ^ 3  ^ 4  ^ 5  ^ 6 ^
^ s-subshell | 2  | 2  | 2  | 2  | 2  | 2 |
^ p-subshell ^    | 6  | 6  | 6  | 6  |   |
^ d-subshell ^    ^    | 10 | 10 | 1  |   |
^ f-subshell ^    ^    ^    | 7  |    |   |

//(This is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadolinium|gadolinium]].)//

A Threadwielder would take note of the following data:

^ highest s-subshell electron count  | 2 |
^ highest p-subshell electron count  | 6 |
^ highest d-subshell electron count  | 1 |
^ highest f-subshell electron count  | 7 |
^ highest g-subshell electron count  | 0 |
^ ...                                | - |
^ total shell count                  | 6 |
^ highest shell total electron count | 2 |

To derive the notation from this data, the subshell counts would get arranged in the form **2:6:1:7** (trailing zeroes are omitted). The total shell count would then be inserted as an //infix// into this notation to separate the valence electrons (the electrons contributing to the electron count in the highest shell) from the rest of the notation. In this case, since only **2:** contributes to the valence electron count, **6** is infixed after **2:** and before **:6:1:7**, forming the notation **2(6)6:1:7**.

The actual words follow this format as well. The fragments have the following form:

^          ^ 1       ^ 2        ^ 3       ^ 4       ^ 5       ^ 6       ^ 7       ^ 8       ^ 9       ^ 10      ^
^ s-shell  | zy-     | (shy-)   ^         ^         ^         ^         ^         ^         ^         ^         ^
^ p-shell  | -zo-    | -sho-    | -so-    | -ro-    | -lo-    | (-ho-)  ^         ^         ^         ^         ^
^ d-shell  | -zi-    | -shi-    | -si-    | -ri-    | -li-    | -hi-    | -bi-    | -pi-    | -ni-    | (-mi-)  |
^ f-shell  | -zul    | -shul    | -sul    | -rul    | -lul    | -hul    | -bul    | -pul    | -nul    | -mul    |
^ # shells | -'zaj'- | -'shaj'- | -'saj'- | -'raj'- | -'laj'- | -'haj'- | -'baj'- | -'paj'- ^         ^         ^
^          ^ 11      ^ 12       ^ 13      ^ 14      ^         ^^^^^^
^ f-shell  | -vul    | -phul    | -thul   | (-tul)  ^ :::     ^^^^^^

Full subshells can be omitted if they do not introduce ambiguities (e.g. **zy'raj'ho** can be shortened to **zy'raj**, but **zy'raj'homi** has to be shortened to **zy'raj'mi**) - and often are for brevity's sake. In those constellations where this kind of omission would introduce ambiguities,  In this case, at least one omitted subshell should be noted to resolve the ambiguity. See //Kr - krypton// and //Pd - palladium// as an example.

Our example from earlier (**2(6)6:1:7**) would be written in full as **shy'haj'hozibul** and in brief **haj'zibul**.

A few more long form examples:

  * //hydrogen// arranges as **1(1)**. Its long form elemental name is thus **zy'zaj**.
  * //helium// arranges as **2(1)**. Its long form elemental name is thus **shy'zaj**, or simply **zaj**.
  * //carbon// arranges as **2:2(2)**. Its long form elemental name is thus **shysho'shaj**, or simply **sho'shaj**.
  * //krypton// arranges as **2:6(4)10**. Its long form elemental name is thus **shyho'raj'mi**, or simply **raj'mi** ("raj" alone would be ambiguous).
  * //palladium// arranges as **2:6:10(4)**. Its long form elemental name is thus **shyhomi'raj**, or simply **mi'raj** ("raj" alone would be ambiguous).
  * //gold// arranges as **1(6)6:10:14**. Its long form elemental name is thus **zy'haj'homitul**, or simply **zy'haj'tul**.

Note that the long form is not free of what we would consider ambiguities. There are a handful of elements that have an 'ambiguous' notation - it's important to understand these elements are, in fact, the same from a Threadwielder perspective, in the sense that they do not usually have any need to differentiate these. (Should the need arise to differentiate them after all, they will find an informal way, e.g. by finally acknowledging that protons might be relevant.)

Here is a list of the 'ambiguous' elements:

==== Elements with proper names ====

//(hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, palladium)//

**@todo**

==== Other modifiers ====

Unstable configurations of elements take **modifiers** that describe their particular instability. The following modifiers exist:
