By firing silver atoms through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, this quantity was shown to be quantized in the (*) Stern-Gerlach experiment. Atoms with even numbers of electrons cannot be used in NMR because they have a net zero value for this quantity, as electrons within the same orbital differ only in their value for this quantity.

This mineral has the lowest relative crystallization temperature of any mineral formed from basaltic magma. It’s not Rochelle salt, but this mineral notably exhibits piezoelectricity, explaining its usage in metronomes and clocks. When extreme pressure is applied, the (*) “shocked” form of this mineral can form. This mineral is found at the bottom of Bowen’s reaction series, causing it to form much later than other minerals. Onyx and citrine are two forms of this mineral, as well as its “rose” form. Amethyst is a purple form of this mineral, and this mineral is the main component of sand.

“Hard Times” tokens were first minted by private banks during this leader’s tenure. This President ordered his Secretary of the Treasury, Levi Woodbury, to pass an act that forced the purchasing of public lands to be made with hard currency; that act was called the (*) Specie Circular.

These compounds can be formed by the reaction of epoxides with a nucleophile, and the Jones Oxidation can oxidize these substances into carboxylic acids. These compounds can also react with carboxylic acids to form esters in a reaction named for Fischer. The simplest example of the “secondary” example of these compounds is its (*) “isopropyl” type, a common household solvent, while another example of these compounds is formed biologically by fermentation from yeast.

The derivative of the Hamiltonian with respect to a generalized coordinate is equal to the negative of this quantity times mass. Jerk is the rate of change for this quantity, and for a particle with a constant value for this quantity, [read slowly] the distance the particle has traveled is equal to one half of this quantity multiplied by the (*) square of the time the particle has been traveling. For a particle in uniform circular motion the magnitude of this quantity equals the particle’s tangential velocity squared divided by the orbit’s radius. Force is directly proportional to this quantity according to Newton’s Second Law.

One disease that affects these organelles results from a decreased ability to metabolize lipids, and is called Niemann-Pick disease. The deficiency of hexosaminidase [HEX-ose-A-mi-NI-dase] A in these organelles causes the buildup of gangliosides, resulting in (*) Tay-Sachs disease. In the Golgi body, proteins are tagged with mannose-6-phosphate before being sent to these organelles. Autophagy is a form of programmed cell death primarily involving these organelles, and in order to function these organelles must maintain a low pH value of 5 in their interior.
