  2. Homogeneity and heterogeneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneity_and_heterogeneity

    Homogeneity and heterogeneity; only ' b ' is homogeneous Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.A homogeneous feature is uniform in composition or character (i.e., color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous ...

  3. Heterogeneous catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_catalysis

    Asymmetric heterogeneous catalysis facilitates the production of pure enantiomer compounds using chiral heterogeneous catalysts. [ 26 ] The majority of heterogeneous catalysts are based on metals [ 27 ] or metal oxides ; [ 28 ] however, some chemical reactions can be catalyzed by carbon -based materials, e.g., oxidative dehydrogenations [ 29 ...

  4. Homogeneous catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_catalysis

    In chemistry, homogeneous catalysis is catalysis where the catalyst is in same phase as reactants, principally by a soluble catalyst in a solution. In contrast, heterogeneous catalysis describes processes where the catalysts and substrate are in distinct phases, typically solid and gas, respectively. [ 1 ]

  5. Immunoassay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoassay

    In a competitive, homogeneous immunoassay, unlabelled analyte in a sample competes with labeled analyte to bind an antibody. The amount of labelled, unbound analyte is then measured. In theory, the more analyte in the sample, the more labelled analyte gets displaced and then measured; hence, the amount of labelled, unbound analyte is ...

  6. Nucleation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleation

    This observation that heterogeneous nucleation can occur when the rate of homogeneous nucleation is essentially zero, is often understood using classical nucleation theory. This predicts that the nucleation slows exponentially with the height of a free energy barrier ΔG*. This barrier comes from the free energy penalty of forming the surface ...

  7. Mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture

    These terms are derived from the idea that a homogeneous mixture has a uniform appearance, or only one phase, because the particles are evenly distributed. However, a heterogeneous mixture has constituent substances that are in different phases and easily distinguishable from one another. In addition, a heterogeneous mixture may have a uniform ...

  8. Electrocatalyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocatalyst

    For example, during the electrolysis of water, the anode can oxidize water through a two electron process to hydrogen peroxide or a four electron process to oxygen. The presence of an electrocatalyst could facilitate either of the reaction pathways. [9] Types of electrocatalyst materials, including homogeneous and heterogeneous electrocatalysts.

  9. Ring-opening metathesis polymerisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-opening_metathesis...

    In polymer chemistry, ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a type of chain-growth polymerization involving olefin metathesis. [1] The reaction is driven by relieving ring strain in cyclic olefins. [2] A variety of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts have been developed for different polymers and mechanisms. [3]
