                                    SODIUM =  Na
                                                   11
                             Humphry Davy discovered the element Sodium (Na) in
                        1807, using electrolysis. Sodium atoms are found in a great
                        many objects - from the salt we eat to the stars in space. The
                        sodium atoms in the cells in the human body perform a vital
            function. The presence of a certain amount of sodium in the human body is
            essential for a normal flow of water between cells and bodily fluids, tissue
            formation and muscle contraction.
                 There are 11 words between the point where the letters "N" and "A" oc-
            cur together in Surat al-Hadid and the end of the verse. That figure is iden-
            tical to Sodium's atomic number.



               Number of words between the letters "Na" and the end of the verse: 11
                             Atomic number of the element "Na": 11


                 * The conjunction "and" was not included in the calculation.
                                                  (Surat al-Hadid, 9)






                                   NIOBIUM =  Nb
                                                   41
                             The element niobium (Nb) was discovered by the
                        British chemist Charles Hatchett in 1801. This element,
                        which is not found abundantly in nature by any means, is
                        greatly sought-after. It is used in nuclear reactors and mate-
            rials resistant to high wavelength radiation.
                 The number of words between the places in Surat al-Hadid where
            the letters “N” and “B” occur together is also that of Niobium's atomic
            number – 41.

                         Number of words between the letters "Nb": 41
                              Atomic number of the letter "Nb": 41
