  2. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(chemistry)

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

  3. Clar's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clar's_rule

    Clar's rule states that for a benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (i.e. one with only hexagonal rings), the resonance structure with the largest number of disjoint aromatic π-sextets is the most important to characterize its chemical and physical properties. Such a resonance structure is called a Clar structure. In other words, a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant-tunneling_diode

    The same structure was duplicated by another research group using a different MBE system, and PVCRs of up to 6.0 have been obtained. [24] In terms of peak current density, peak current densities ranging from as low as 20 mA/cm 2 and as high as 218 kA/cm 2, spanning seven orders of magnitude, have been achieved. [25]

  5. Electrical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resonance

    Electrical resonance occurs in an electric circuit at a particular resonant frequency when the impedances or admittances of circuit elements cancel each other. In some circuits, this happens when the impedance between the input and output of the circuit is almost zero and the transfer function is close to one.

  6. Natural resonance theory - Wikipedia

    The NBOs for a resonance structure formula can then be, subsequently, calculated from the CHOOSE option. Operationally, there are three ways in which alternative resonance structures may be generated: (1) from the LEWIS option, considering the Wiberg bond indices; (2) from the delocalization list; (3) specified by the user. [1]

  7. Pauling's principle of electroneutrality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_principle_of...

    There are two possible structures for hydrogen cyanide, HCN and CNH, differing only as to the position of the hydrogen atom. The structure with hydrogen attached to nitrogen, CNH, leads to formal charges of -1 on carbon and +1 on nitrogen, which would be partially compensated for by the electronegativity of nitrogen and Pauling calculated the net charges on H, N and C as -0.79, +0.75 and +0.04 ...

  8. Loop-gap resonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop-gap_resonator

    At, or near, the resonance frequency, a circumferential current is established along the inner wall of the resonator. The effective resistance R {\displaystyle R} that limits this current is, in part, determined by the resistivity ρ {\displaystyle \rho } and electromagnetic skin depth δ {\displaystyle \delta } of the conductor used to make ...

  9. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    However, resonance can also be detrimental, leading to excessive vibrations or even structural failure in some cases. [3] All systems, including molecular systems and particles, tend to vibrate at a natural frequency depending upon their structure; this frequency is known as a resonant frequency or resonance frequency.
