  2. Nadic anhydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadic_anhydride

    In the patent for the Diels-Alder reaction, nadic anhydride was given as an example of the reaction, made by the addition of maleic anhydride to cyclopentadiene, which gives mostly the endo isomer. [3]

  3. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density is an intensive property in that increasing the amount of a substance does not increase its density; rather it increases its mass. Other conceptually comparable quantities or ratios include specific density, relative density (specific gravity), and specific weight.

  4. Distance sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_sampling

    The series generally takes the form of a polynomial (e.g. a Hermite polynomial) and is intended to add flexibility to the form of the key function, allowing it to fit more closely to the data PDF. While this can improve the precision of density/abundance estimates, its use is only defensible if the data set is of sufficient size and quality to ...

  5. Graham's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham's_law

    Thomas Graham. Graham's law of effusion (also called Graham's law of diffusion) was formulated by Scottish physical chemist Thomas Graham in 1848. [1] Graham found experimentally that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of its particles. [1]

  6. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  7. Energy conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conservation

    Density is important for optimizing location and is a way to cut down on driving. [11] Planners can regulate development rights by exchanging them from ecologically sensitive areas to growth-friendly zones according to density transfer procedures. Distance is defined as the accessibility of rail and bus transits, which serve as deterrents for ...

  8. Metric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

    Since all gases have the same volume per mole at a given temperature and pressure far from their points of liquefaction and solidification (see Perfect gas), and air is about ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠ oxygen (molecular mass 32) and ⁠ 4 / 5 ⁠ nitrogen (molecular mass 28), the density of any near-perfect gas relative to air can be obtained to a good ...

  9. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    The centroid of a rigid triangular object (cut out of a thin sheet of uniform density) is also its center of mass: the object can be balanced on its centroid in a uniform gravitational field. [30] The centroid cuts every median in the ratio 2:1, i.e. the distance between a vertex and the centroid is twice the distance between the centroid and ...
