AZURITE - has copper + calcium carbonate in a Ca2 form ( ionic charge ) protons - copper + calcium
neutrons - copper + calcium
electrons - copper + calcium
AZURITE MOLECULAR WEIGHT - 344.67
AZURITE FORMULA - C
2H
2Cu
3O
8 C2 ( calcium 2x ion charge )
H2 ( hydrogen 2x charge )
Cu3 ( copper
O ( oxygen charge ) How many protons neutrons and electrons does ( calcium ) ca2+ have?
There are 18
electrons,20
neutrons and 20
protons present in
calcium ion.
AZURITES CHARGE VALUE Copper + Calcium ( each with charge vlaues )
Atomic Mass of Copper - 64.546
Atomic mass of calcium - 100.086
SO - WHY IS IT AZURITE HAS A FAR HIGHER MOLECULAT WEIGHT ?
MORE THAN COBALT, MORE THAN COPPER.
Perhaps it's because of the ( Cu3 )
Could it be there are three ( 3 ) copper atoms united making it a triple copper bond ?
It would explain away the molecular weight of Azurite - now wouldn't it.
AZURITE MOLECULAR WEIGHT
344.67
Yeah...much more heavier - than copper or cobalt with more chargability.
Hence - Azurite would / could be an idela mineral to replace - cobalt -
Azurite appears ot have more mass and well...potentially more electrons, protons, neutrons.
And, a potential triple copper bond.
Kind of like a suped up, hybred copper.
Lastly - where i feel the battery metals are going wrong is...
They are taking battery minerals and refining them to a point of, near purity.
Then... trying to pair a cathode and anode that are compatable to transfer electrical ions
charging and discharging
Yet... dendrites form in the electrolytic solution which forms a build up and eventually clogs the flow of electrical charge -
EXAMPLE -
Taking only the copper away from - azurite - and imparting and discarding the calcium.
Left with pure copper.
Now.. what would be the outcome in a battery if the calcium carbonate was left intact- it would allow for more capacity charge in ionic charge value - but... would it could it, allow for better freeflow of electrical ions without a dendrite problem ?
Things ot think about....
If ive errored in ( minerologycomposition, charge value ) please do chine in to correct.
Thanks...
Azurite in my minds eyes...
looks might purdy -i'd like ot see if a junior could perofrm some trests on the azurite.
See if its superior to that of cobalt.
Doesn't Max have access to a Colombian Lab ?
Cheers...
