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
