  2. List of mesons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mesons

    Mesons named with the letter "f" are scalar mesons (as opposed to a pseudo-scalar meson), and mesons named with the letter "a" are axial-vector mesons (as opposed to an ordinary vector meson) a.k.a. an isoscalar vector meson, while the letters "b" and "h" refer to axial-vector mesons with positive parity, negative C-parity, and quantum numbers I G of 1 + and 0 − respectively.

    On the other hand, the nitrobenzene resonance structures have positive charges around the ring system: The nitro group can withdraw electron density through resonance. Attack occurs at the meta position, since the (partial) formal positive charges at the ortho and para positions indicate electron deficiency at these positions.

  4. Hertzsprung–Russell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertzsprung–Russell_diagram

    Theoretical calculations of stellar structure and the evolution of stars produce plots that match those from observations. This type of diagram could be called temperature-luminosity diagram , but this term is hardly ever used; when the distinction is made, this form is called the theoretical Hertzsprung–Russell diagram instead.

  5. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    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.

  6. List of baryons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_baryons

    These lists detail all known and predicted baryons in total angular momentum J = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and J = ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ configurations with positive parity. [5]Baryons composed of one type of quark (uuu, ddd, ...) can exist in J = ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ configuration, but J = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ is forbidden by the Pauli exclusion principle.

  7. Eidolon - Wikipedia

    Achilles' sacrifice of Trojan prisoners, 4th-century BC fresco from Vulci.The eidolon of Patroclus is second from left.. In ancient Greek literature, an eidolon (/ aɪ ˈ d oʊ l ɒ n /; [1] Ancient Greek: εἴδωλον 'image, idol, double, apparition, phantom, ghost'; plural: eidola or eidolons) is a spirit-image of a living or dead person; a shade or phantom look-alike of the human form.

  8. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    In chemistry, the mesomeric effect (or resonance effect) is a property of substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound.It is defined as the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom. [1]

    Thus, the lifetime of a particle is the direct inverse of the particle's resonance width. For example, the charged pion has the second-longest lifetime of any meson, at 2.6033 × 10 −8 s. [2] Therefore, its resonance width is very small, about 2.528 × 10 −8 eV or about 6.11 MHz. Pions are generally not considered as "resonances".
