Six groups (columns) have names as well as numbers: for example, group 17 elements are the halogens; and group 18, the noble gases.

Thomson student from New Zealand Ernest Rutherford named three types of radiation; alpha, beta and gamma rays.

In severe cases, Graves’ disease can cause inflammation of the eye muscles. The muscles and tissues of the eyes may become swollen and may cause your eyes to protrude from their sockets. This is called exophthalmos. Goiter: A goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland that can cause the front of the neck to look swollen.", "Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder. It causes hyperthyroidism, which occurs if the thyroid gland creates too much thyroid hormone in the body. Graves’ disease is one of the most common forms of hyperthyroidism.

They can cause your thyroid to create too much of the thyroid hormone.", "Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. The thyroid is a small gland in the front of the neck. It makes hormones called T3 and T4 that regulate how the body uses energy. Thyroid hormone levels are controlled by the pituitary, which is a pea-sized gland in the brain. This is called an overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism. An overactive thyroid causes every function of the body to speed up, such as heart rate and the rate your body turns food into energy. Graves' disease is one cause of overactive thyroid.", "Thyroid gland.
