The Dust Bowl, also known as the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the US and Canadian prairies during the 1930s; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion (the Aeolian processes) caused the phenomenon.
All metals are placed at the left side of the periodic table. Around 75% of elements are metallic in nature and belong to s, d and f-blocks. The non-metals and metalloids are placed in p-block with few metals. The elements of f-block are also called as Lanthanides and Actinides.These names come from the Lanthanum and Actium after which, both series of f-block are started.ses of Lanthanides and Actinides. 1  They donât find any use in their pure state. 2  They are used in the production of alloys of steel to improve the strength and workability of steel. 3  A well known alloy is mischmetal which is used in making magnesium based alloy (Mg mixed with 3% of mischmetal).
Key Points. 1  Hydrogen halides are binary compounds of halogens with hydrogen. 2  Metal halides are compounds of halogens and metals. 3  Interhalogen compounds are formed when halogens react with each other.  Halogenated compounds, or organic halides, are organic compounds that contain halogen atoms. In the human body, some halogens perform multiple regulatory functions, while others are not essential. Organohalogens are synthesized through the nucleophilic abstraction reaction.
