  2. Crystallographic restriction theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic...

    The crystallographic restriction theorem in its basic form was based on the observation that the rotational symmetries of a crystal are usually limited to 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, and 6-fold. However, quasicrystals can occur with other diffraction pattern symmetries, such as 5-fold; these were not discovered until 1982 by Dan Shechtman .

  3. Limiting reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_reagent

    Equal masses of iron (Fe) and sulfur (S) react to form iron sulfide (FeS), but because of its higher atomic weight, iron is the limiting reagent and once all the iron is consumed some sulfur remains unreacted

  4. Molecular graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_graphics

    Interactive molecular structure viewing system. Early examples of dynamic rotation, intensity depth·cueing, and side-by-side stereo. Early use of the small angle approximations (a = sin a, 1 = cos a) to speed up graphical rotation calculations. Ortony 1971 Designed a stereo viewer (British patent appl. 13844/70) for molecular computer graphics.

    For example, sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6) is an octahedral molecule. Trigonal pyramidal : A trigonal pyramidal molecule has a pyramid-like shape with a triangular base. Unlike the linear and trigonal planar shapes but similar to the tetrahedral orientation, pyramidal shapes require three dimensions in order to fully separate the electrons.

    [18]: 1165 Examples of this include the octacyanomolybdate (Mo(CN) 4− 8) and octafluorozirconate (ZrF 4− 8) anions. [18]: 1165 The nonahydridorhenate ion (ReH 2− 9) in potassium nonahydridorhenate is a rare example of a compound with a steric number of 9, which has a tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry.

    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 ...

  8. Atomic domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_domain

    More generally, any integral domain satisfying the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP) is an atomic domain. Although the converse is claimed to hold in Cohn's paper, [1] this is known to be false. [2] The term "atomic" is due to P. M. Cohn, who called an irreducible element of an integral domain an "atom".

  9. Steric effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steric_effects

    Regioselective dimethoxytritylation of the primary 5'-hydroxyl group of thymidine in the presence of a free secondary 3'-hydroxy group as a result of steric hindrance due to the dimethoxytrityl group and the ribose ring (Py = pyridine). [2] Steric hindrance is a consequence of steric effects. Steric hindrance is the slowing of chemical ...
