  2. Aufbau principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufbau_principle

    Other authors write the subshells outside of the noble gas core in order of increasing n, or if equal, increasing n + l, such as Tl (Z = 81) [Xe]4f 14 5d 10 6s 2 6p 1. [5] They do so to emphasize that if this atom is ionized, electrons leave approximately in the order 6p, 6s, 5d, 4f, etc. On a related note, writing configurations in this way ...

  3. Beta distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions defined on the interval [0, 1] or (0, 1) in terms of two positive parameters, denoted by alpha (α) and beta (β), that appear as exponents of the variable and its complement to 1, respectively, and control the shape of the distribution.

  4. Alpha process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_process

    Creation of elements beyond carbon through alpha process. The alpha process, also known as alpha capture or the alpha ladder, is one of two classes of nuclear fusion reactions by which stars convert helium into heavier elements. The other class is a cycle of reactions called the triple-alpha process, which consumes only helium, and produces ...

  5. (α/Fe) versus (Fe/H) diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(α/Fe)_versus_(Fe/H)_diagram

    The diagram depicts two astrophysical quantities of stars, their iron abundance relative to hydrogen [Fe/H] - a tracer of stellar metallicity - and the enrichment of alpha process elements relative to iron, [α/Fe]. The iron abundance is noted as the logarithm of the ratio of a star's iron abundance compared to that of the Sun:

  6. Radioactive decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

    The rays were given the names alpha, beta, and gamma, in increasing order of their ability to penetrate matter. Alpha decay is observed only in heavier elements of atomic number 52 and greater, with the exception of beryllium-8 (which decays to two alpha particles). The other two types of decay are observed in all the elements.

  7. Reaction rate constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate_constant

    where A and B are reactants C is a product a, b, and c are stoichiometric coefficients,. the reaction rate is often found to have the form: = [] [] Here ⁠ ⁠ is the reaction rate constant that depends on temperature, and [A] and [B] are the molar concentrations of substances A and B in moles per unit volume of solution, assuming the reaction is taking place throughout the volume of the ...

  8. Extended periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table

    Thus element 164 with 7d 10 9s 0 is noted by Fricke et al. to be analogous to palladium with 4d 10 5s 0, and they consider elements 157–172 to have chemical analogies to groups 3–18 (though they are ambivalent on whether elements 165 and 166 are more like group 1 and 2 elements or more like group 11 and 12 elements, respectively). Thus ...

  9. Chemical equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equilibrium

    with T A the total concentration of species A. Note that it is customary to omit the ionic charges when writing and using these equations. When the equilibrium constants are known and the total concentrations are specified there are two equations in two unknown "free concentrations" [A] and [H].
