TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that thorium, protactinium, and uranium do show considerable similarities in chemical properties to the 4d and 5d transition series elements.
Abstract: The place of the very heaviest elements in the periodic system is of great scientific interest and is of crucial importance in understanding the physical and chemical properties of these elements. Ideas on this question have varied considerably over the years. Periodic charts have commonly placed thorium, protactinium, and uranium in positions immediately below the elements hafnium, tantalum, and tungsten. The latter group of elements are members of a transition series in which the 5d electron shell is being filled. Hence this earlier placement of the three heavy elements corresponded to the assumption that they are members of a 6d transition series. Indeed thorium, protactinium, and, to a much smaller extent, uranium do show considerable resemblance in chemical properties to the 4d and 5d transition series elements. The electronic configuration beyond the radon core on this basis would be written thus: thorium (6d 27s 2), protactinium (6d 37s 2), and uranium (6d 47s 2).

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature variation of the fractionation of oxygen in exchange reactions between dissolved carbonate and water and between calcite and water was calculated on theoretical grounds, and checked experimentally.
Abstract: The temperature variation of the fractionation of oxygen in exchange reactions between dissolved carbonate and water and between calcite and water and calculated on theoretical grounds, and checked experimentally. In the course of the experiments it was necessary to investigate several methods of decomposing calcium carbonate to carbon dioxide for mass spectrometer analysis. A method was developed for growing calcium carbonate from solution with the same isotopic composition as the carbonate shells of organisms produced at the same temperature from water of the same isotopic composition, and the results of these experiments at various temperatures are expressed in an equation relating the temperature of formation with the isotopic composition of the calcium carbonate and of the water.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electronegativities of sixtynine elements have been calculated from the most recent thermochemical data, and the mean deviation of the calculated electronegativity difference, 0·208 √ †, from the difference of the average electrone-gativities is 0·046 units.
