  2. Critical radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_radius

    Critical radius is the minimum particle size from which an aggregate is thermodynamically stable. In other words, it is the lowest radius formed by atoms or molecules clustering together (in a gas, liquid or solid matrix) before a new phase inclusion (a bubble, a droplet or a solid particle) is viable and begins to grow.

  3. A value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_value

    In general, the larger a substituent's A-value, the larger the steric effect of that substituent. A methyl group has an A-value of 1.74 while tert-butyl group has an A-value of ~5. Because the A-value of tert-butyl is higher, tert-butyl has a larger steric effect than methyl. This difference in steric effects can be used to help predict ...

  4. Chemical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

    Natural carbon is a mixture of 12 C (about 98.9%), 13 C (about 1.1%) and about 1 atom per trillion of 14 C. Most (54 of 94) naturally occurring elements have more than one stable isotope. Except for the isotopes of hydrogen (which differ greatly from each other in relative mass—enough to cause chemical effects), the isotopes of a given ...

  5. Electronegativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronegativity

    The effect is much larger than could be explained by the negative charge being shared among a larger number of oxygen atoms, which would lead to a difference in pK a of log 10 (1 ⁄ 4) = –0.6 between hypochlorous acid and perchloric acid. As the oxidation state of the central chlorine atom increases, more electron density is drawn from the ...

  6. Nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

    Nitrogen is the most common pure element in the earth, making up 78.1% of the volume of the atmosphere [9] (75.5% by mass), around 3.89 million gigatonnes (3.89 × 10 18 kg). Despite this, it is not very abundant in Earth's crust, making up somewhere around 19 parts per million of this, on par with niobium , gallium , and lithium .

  7. Nerf Blaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerf_Blaster

    A man firing an N-Strike Stampede ECS. First introduced in 2003, N-Strike blasters established many trends in modern dart blasters. Many features such as tactical rails, barrel and stock attachment points, and magazines (officially referred to by Hasbro as Clips) first appeared in the N-Strike series and characterized the ability for customization, a common sight among today’s blasters.

  8. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls.
