Tumor markers are measurable biochemicals that are associated with a malignancy. They are either produced by tumor cells (tumor-derived) or by the body in response to tumor cells (tumor-associated). They are typically substances that are released into the circulation and thus measured in the blood.
â For example, the s subshell ( l = 0) contains only one orbital, and therefore the m l of an electron in an s subshell will always be 0. â The p subshell ( l = 1) contains three orbitals, so the m l of an electron in a p subshell will be -1, 0, or 1. â The d subshell ( l = 2) contains Â±ve orbitals, with m l values of -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2.
Group 16 is the oxygen family. It consists of the elements oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. Each has six of the desired eight electrons required for the octet in its highest energy level.
