  2. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    Collision theory is a principle of chemistry used to predict the rates of chemical reactions. It states that when suitable particles of the reactant hit each other with the correct orientation, only a certain amount of collisions result in a perceptible or notable change; these successful changes are called successful collisions.

  3. Water activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity

    The definition of a w is where p is the partial water vapor pressure in equilibrium with the solution, and p* is the (partial) vapor pressure of pure water at the same temperature. An alternate definition can be a w ≡ l w x w {\displaystyle a_{w}\equiv l_{w}x_{w}} where l w is the activity coefficient of water and x w is the mole fraction of ...

  4. Product (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Much of chemistry research is focused on the synthesis and characterization of beneficial products, as well as the detection and removal of undesirable products. Synthetic chemists can be subdivided into research chemists who design new chemicals and pioneer new methods for synthesizing chemicals, as well as process chemists who scale up chemical production and make it safer, more ...

  5. Solvent model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_model

    In computational chemistry, a solvent model is a computational method that accounts for the behavior of solvated condensed phases. [1] [2] [3] Solvent models enable simulations and thermodynamic calculations applicable to reactions and processes which take place in solution. These include biological, chemical and environmental processes. [1]

    Cheminformatics – Computational chemistry Lipinski's rule of five – Rule of thumb to predict if a chemical compound is likely to be an orally active drug; Lipophilic efficiency – Parameter used in drug design; Distribution law – Generalisation describing the distribution of a solute between two non miscible solvents.

  7. Water model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_model

    A water model is defined by its geometry, together with other parameters such as the atomic charges and Lennard-Jones parameters. In computational chemistry, a water model is used to simulate and thermodynamically calculate water clusters, liquid water, and aqueous solutions with explicit solvent.

  8. Water cluster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cluster

    In chemistry, a water cluster is a discrete hydrogen bonded assembly or cluster of molecules of water. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Many such clusters have been predicted by theoretical models ( in silico ), and some have been detected experimentally in various contexts such as ice , bulk liquid water, in the gas phase , in dilute mixtures with non-polar ...

  9. Le Chatelier's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Chatelier's_principle

    In chemistry, Le Chatelier's principle (pronounced UK: / l ə ʃ æ ˈ t ɛ l j eɪ / or US: / ˈ ʃ ɑː t əl j eɪ /) [1] is a principle used to predict the effect of a change in conditions on chemical equilibrium. [2] Other names include Chatelier's principle, Braun–Le Chatelier principle, Le Chatelier–Braun principle or the equilibrium ...
