  2. Valence (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The valence is the combining capacity of an atom of a given element, determined by the number of hydrogen atoms that it combines with. In methane, carbon has a valence of 4; in ammonia, nitrogen has a valence of 3; in water, oxygen has a valence of 2; and in hydrogen chloride, chlorine has a valence of 1.

  3. Polyvalency (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    [1] [2] [3] For the number of chemical bonds of atoms, the term "valence" is used (Fig. 1). For both atoms and larger species, the number of bonds may be specified: divalent species can form two bonds; a trivalent species can form three bonds; and so on. [4]

  4. Valence electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_electron

    Four covalent bonds.Carbon has four valence electrons and here a valence of four. Each hydrogen atom has one valence electron and is univalent. In chemistry and physics, valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outermost shell is not closed.

  5. Valence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence

    Valence (chemistry), a measure of an element's combining power with other atoms Valence electron, electrons in the outer shell of an atom's energy levels; Valence quarks, those quarks within a hadron that determine the hadron's quantum numbers

  6. Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

    Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.

  7. Univalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univalent

    Univalent function – an injective holomorphic function on an open subset of the complex plane Univalent foundations – a type-based approach to foundation of mathematics Univalent relation – a binary relation R that satisfies x R y and x R z implies y = z . {\displaystyle xRy{\text{ and }}xRz{\text{ implies }}y=z.}

  8. Edge states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_states

    In some materials, for example, in graphene and zigzag graphene quantum dot, there exists the energy states having energy eigenvalues exactly equal to zero (E=0) besides the conduction and valence bands. These states are called edge states which modifies the electronic and optical properties of the materials significantly.

  9. Science fair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair

    A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.
