    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 ...

  3. Conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductivity

    Conductivity may refer to: Electrical conductivity, a measure of a material's ability to conduct an electric current Conductivity (electrolytic), the electrical conductivity of an electrolyte in solution; Ionic conductivity (solid state), electrical conductivity due to ions moving position in a crystal lattice

  4. Conductivity (electrolytic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductivity_(electrolytic)

    Conductivity or specific conductance of an electrolyte solution is a measure of its ability to conduct electricity. The SI unit of conductivity is siemens per meter (S/m). Conductivity measurements are used routinely in many industrial and environmental applications as a fast, inexpensive and reliable way of measuring the ionic content in a ...

    The conductivity of a water/aqueous solution is highly dependent on its concentration of dissolved salts, and other chemical species that ionize in the solution. Electrical conductivity of water samples is used as an indicator of how salt-free, ion-free, or impurity-free the sample is; the purer the water, the lower the conductivity (the higher ...

    The table below shows some of the parameters of common superconductors.X:Y means material X doped with element Y, T C is the highest reported transition temperature in kelvins and H C is a critical magnetic field in tesla.

  7. Valence and conduction bands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_and_conduction_bands

    In solid-state physics, the valence band and conduction band are the bands closest to the Fermi level, and thus determine the electrical conductivity of the solid. In nonmetals, the valence band is the highest range of electron energies in which electrons are normally present at absolute zero temperature, while the conduction band is the lowest range of vacant electronic states.

  8. Conductive polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductive_polymer

    The conductivity of such polymers is the result of several processes. For example, in traditional polymers such as polyethylenes, the valence electrons are bound in sp 3 hybridized covalent bonds. Such "sigma-bonding electrons" have low mobility and do not contribute to the electrical conductivity of the material.

  9. List of thermal conductivities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermal_conductivities

    Let K 0 is the normal conductivity at one bar (10 5 N/m 2) pressure, K e is its conductivity at special pressure and/or length scale. Let d is a plate distance in meters, P is an air pressure in Pascals (N/m 2 ), T is temperature Kelvin, C is this Lasance constant 7.6 ⋅ 10 −5 m ⋅ K/N and PP is the product P ⋅ d/T .
