  2. Single displacement reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_displacement_reaction

    A single-displacement reaction, also known as single replacement reaction or exchange reaction, is an archaic concept in chemistry. It describes the stoichiometry of some chemical reactions in which one element or ligand is replaced by an atom or group. [1] [2] [3] It can be represented generically as:

  3. Substitution reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_reaction

    A substitution reaction (also known as single displacement reaction or single substitution reaction) is a chemical reaction during which one functional group in a chemical compound is replaced by another functional group. [1] Substitution reactions are of prime importance in organic chemistry.

  4. Ring-opening polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-opening_polymerization

    General scheme ionic propagation. Propagating center can be radical, cationic or anionic. In polymer chemistry, ring-opening polymerization (ROP) is a form of chain-growth polymerization in which the terminus of a polymer chain attacks cyclic monomers to form a longer polymer (see figure). The reactive center can be radical, anionic or cationic.

  5. Solvent effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_effects

    The reactions involving charged transition metal complexes (cationic or anionic) are dramatically influenced by solvation, especially in the polar media. As high as 30-50 kcal/mol changes in the potential energy surface (activation energies and relative stability) were calculated if the charge of the metal species was changed during the ...

  6. Solution polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_polymerization

    Liquid polybutadienes are made by anionic or radical polymerization in hydrocarbon solutions. Butyl rubber (IIR) by low temperature cationic copolymerization of isobutylene with isoprene in ethylene or methylchloride solution. Aromatic polyamides (e.g. Kevlar and Nomex) are made by polycondensation in N-methyl-pyrrolidone and calcium chloride ...

  7. Cationic polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cationic_polymerization

    In polymer chemistry, cationic polymerization is a type of chain growth polymerization in which a cationic initiator transfers charge to a monomer, which then becomes reactive. This reactive monomer goes on to react similarly with other monomers to form a polymer .

  8. Kröger–Vink notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kröger–Vink_Notation

    Using equation 5, the formula can be simplified into the following form where the enthalpy of formation can be directly calculated: [v ⁠ ′ ′ {\displaystyle \prime \prime } ⁠ Mg ] = exp ( − ⁠ Δ f H / 2 k B T ⁠ + ⁠ Δ f S / 2 k B ⁠ ) = A exp ( − ⁠ Δ f H / 2 k B T ⁠ ) , where A is a constant containing the entropic term.

  9. Surfactant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant

    The head of an ionic surfactant carries a net positive, or negative, charge. If the charge is negative, the surfactant is more specifically called anionic; if the charge is positive, it is called cationic. If a surfactant contains a head with two oppositely charged groups, it is termed zwitterionic, or amphoteric. Commonly encountered ...
