Context: Alkali metal |  Although francium is the heaviest alkali metal that has been discovered, there has been some theoretical work predicting the physical and chemical characteristics of hypothetical heavier alkali metals. Being the first period 8 element, the undiscovered element ununennium (element 119) is predicted to be the next alkali metal after francium and behave much like their lighter congeners; however, it is also predicted to differ from the lighter alkali metals in some properties. Its chemistry is predicted to be closer to that of potassium or rubidium instead of caesium or francium. This is unusual as periodic trends, ignoring relativistic effects would predict ununennium to be even

Context: Explorer 51 |  The capacitance manometer was primarily an engineering experiment to provide data on spacecraft operations. However, data from this experiment were also correlated with accelerometer and ion gauge data in evaluating satellite drag. The manometer, also referred to as pressure sensor B (PSB), measured atmospheric pressure in the region below 200 km. The accuracy of the PSB gauge varied from about 10% at 120 km to about 40% at 180 km. The PSB consisted of two spherical, thermally controlled chambers, separated by a thin membrane stretched flat and under radial tension. Any deflection of the diaphragm caused by a pressure differential between the two sides caused a change in capacitance between the diaphragm and an adjacent electrode which was measured by an Alternating current (AC) bridge circuit. Air was permitted into one of the chambers through two ports 180° apart and perpendicular to the spacecraft spin axis. Thus, the wave-ram pressure differential was sampled twice each spacecraft revolution.

Prompt: What does a manometer measure?
