  2. Five-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_stencil

    An illustration of the five-point stencil in one and two dimensions (top, and bottom, respectively). In numerical analysis, given a square grid in one or two dimensions, the five-point stencil of a point in the grid is a stencil made up of the point itself together with its four "neighbors".

  3. Actinide contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinoid_contraction

    It is more pronounced than the lanthanide contraction because the 5f electrons are less effective at shielding than 4f electrons. [1] It is caused by the poor shielding effect of nuclear charge by the 5f electrons along with the expected periodic trend of increasing electronegativity and nuclear charge on moving from left to right.

  4. Kainosymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kainosymmetry

    [2] Another consequence is the increased metallicity of the following elements in a block after the first kainosymmetric orbital, along with a preference for higher oxidation states. This is visible comparing H and He (1s) with Li and Be (2s); N–F (2p) with P–Cl (3p); Fe and Co (3d) with Ru and Rh (4d); and Nd–Dy (4f) with U–Cf (5f).

  5. Simplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplification

    Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include:

  6. Lanthanide contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanthanide_contraction

    The lanthanide contraction is the greater-than-expected decrease in atomic radii and ionic radii of the elements in the lanthanide series, from left to right. It is caused by the poor shielding effect of nuclear charge by the 4f electrons along with the expected periodic trend of increasing electronegativity and nuclear charge on moving from left to right.

  7. Heterogeneous water oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_Water_Oxidation

    2H 2 O → O 2 + 4H + + 4e − Oxidation (generation of dioxygen) 4H + + 4e − → 2H 2 Reduction (generation of dihydrogen) 2H 2 O → 2H 2 + O 2 Total Reaction Of the two half reactions, the oxidation step is the most demanding because it requires the coupling of 4 electron and proton transfers and the formation of an oxygen-oxygen bond.

  8. Stretched exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretched_exponential_function

    To describe results from spectroscopy or inelastic scattering, the sine or cosine Fourier transform of the stretched exponential is needed. It must be calculated either by numeric integration, or from a series expansion. [12] The series here as well as the one for the distribution function are special cases of the Fox–Wright function. [13]

    hexasilane Si 6 H 14 or H 3 Si−SiH 2 −SiH 2 −SiH 2 −SiH 2 −SiH 3, 6 silicon atoms and 14 hydrogen atoms, analogous to hexane; Silanes are named by adding the suffix-silane to the appropriate numerical multiplier prefix. Hence, disilane, Si 2 H 6; trisilane Si 3 H 8; tetrasilane Si 4 H 10; pentasilane Si 5 H 12; etc.
