    a partial charge. δ− represents a negative partial charge, and δ+ represents a positive partial charge chemistry (See also: Solvation) the chemical shift of an atomic nucleus in NMR spectroscopy. For protons, this is relative to tetramethylsilane = 0; stable isotope compositions; declination in astronomy; noncentrality measure in statistics [9]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    The vacuum state, like all stationary states of the field, is an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian but not the electric and magnetic field operators. In the vacuum state, therefore, the electric and magnetic fields do not have definite values. We can imagine them to be fluctuating about their mean value of zero. [citation needed]

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    For dilute gases, kinetic molecular theory relates the diffusion coefficient D to the particle density n = N/V, the molecular mass m, the collision cross section, and the absolute temperature T by = where the second factor is the mean free path and the square root (with the Boltzmann constant k) is the mean velocity of the particles.

    The vorticity would be twice the mean angular velocity vector of those particles relative to their center of mass, oriented according to the right-hand rule. By its own definition, the vorticity vector is a solenoidal field since ∇ ⋅ ω = 0. {\displaystyle \nabla \cdot {\boldsymbol {\omega }}=0.}

  9. 0 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0

    0 (zero) is a number representing an empty quantity.Adding (or subtracting) 0 to any number leaves that number unchanged; in mathematical terminology, 0 is the additive identity of the integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers, as well as other algebraic structures.
