  2. Formal charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_charge

    The formal charge of any atom in a molecule can be calculated by the following equation: = where V is the number of valence electrons of the neutral atom in isolation (in its ground state); L is the number of non-bonding valence electrons assigned to this atom in the Lewis structure of the molecule; and B is the total number of electrons shared ...

  3. Mass balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_balance

    Strictly speaking the above equation holds also for systems with chemical reactions if the terms in the balance equation are taken to refer to total mass, i.e. the sum of all the chemical species of the system. In the absence of a chemical reaction the amount of any chemical species flowing in and out will be the same; this gives rise to an ...

  4. Kröger–Vink notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kröger–Vink_Notation

    For example, the defect may result in an ion on its own ion site or a vacancy on the cation site. To complete the reactions, the proper number of each ion must be present (mass balance), an equal number of sites must exist (site balance), and the sums of the charges of the reactants and products must also be equal (charge balance).

  5. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    The charges must have a spherically symmetric distribution (e.g. be point charges, or a charged metal sphere). The charges must not overlap (e.g. they must be distinct point charges). The charges must be stationary with respect to a nonaccelerating frame of reference. The last of these is known as the electrostatic approximation. When movement ...

  6. Faraday's laws of electrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_laws_of_electrolysis

    Michael Faraday reported that the mass (m) of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode is directly proportional to the charge (Q, for which the SI unit is the ampere-second or coulomb). [ 3 ] m ∝ Q m Q = Z {\displaystyle m\propto Q\quad \implies \quad {\frac {m}{Q}}=Z}

  7. Mass-to-charge ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-to-charge_ratio

    When charged particles move in electric and magnetic fields the following two laws apply: Lorentz force law: = (+),; Newton's second law of motion: = =; where F is the force applied to the ion, m is the mass of the particle, a is the acceleration, Q is the electric charge, E is the electric field, and v × B is the cross product of the ion's velocity and the magnetic flux density.

  8. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    This toy uses the principles of center of mass to keep balance when sitting on a finger. In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space (sometimes referred to as the barycenter or balance point) is the unique point at any given time where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero.

  9. Charge conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_conservation

    Mathematically, we can state the law of charge conservation as a continuity equation: = ˙ ˙ (). where / is the electric charge accumulation rate in a specific volume at time t, ˙ is the amount of charge flowing into the volume and ˙ is the amount of charge flowing out of the volume; both amounts are regarded as generic functions of time.
