  2. Stability constants of complexes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_constants_of...

    In coordination chemistry, a stability constant (also called formation constant or binding constant) is an equilibrium constant for the formation of a complex in solution. It is a measure of the strength of the interaction between the reagents that come together to form the complex. There are two main kinds of complex: compounds formed by the ...

  3. A value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_value

    A-values help predict the conformation of cyclohexane rings. The most stable conformation will be the one which has the substituent or substituents equatorial. When multiple substituents are taken into consideration, the conformation where the substituent with the largest A-value is equatorial is favored.

  4. Chemical stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_stability

    In chemistry, chemical stability is the thermodynamic stability of a chemical system, in particular a chemical compound or a polymer. [1] Colloquially, it may instead refer to kinetic persistence, the shelf-life of a metastable substance or system; that is, the timescale over which it begins to degrade.

  5. Glossary of chemical formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemical_formulae

    This is a list of common chemical compounds with chemical formulae and CAS numbers, indexed by formula. This complements alternative listing at list of inorganic compounds. There is no complete list of chemical compounds since by nature the list would be infinite.

  6. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12. Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another. [1]

  7. Strain (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    In chemistry, a molecule experiences strain when its chemical structure undergoes some stress which raises its internal energy in comparison to a strain-free reference compound. The internal energy of a molecule consists of all the energy stored within it. A strained molecule has an additional amount of internal energy which an unstrained ...

  8. Rubber elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_elasticity

    Since the deformation does not involve enthalpy change, the change in free energy can simply be calculated as the change in entropy. Note that the force equation resembles the behaviour of a spring and follows Hooke's law: =, where F is the force, k is the spring constant and x is

  9. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    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 ...
