  2. Chemical decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_decomposition

    The following equation is an example, where M represents the given metal: MCO 3 → MO + CO 2. A specific example is that involving calcium carbonate: CaCO 3 → CaO + CO 2. Metal chlorates also decompose when heated. In this type of decomposition reaction, a metal chloride and oxygen gas are the products. Here, again, M represents the metal:

  3. Deposition (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, deposition occurs when molecules settle out of a solution. Deposition can be defined as the process of direct transition of a substance from its gaseous form, on cooling, into a solid state without passing through the intermediate liquid state.

  4. Chemical revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_revolution

    For example, chemists began to assert that all structures were composed of more than the four elements of the Greeks or the eight elements of the medieval alchemists. The Irish alchemist , Robert Boyle , laid the foundations for the Chemical Revolution, with his mechanical corpuscular philosophy, which in turn relied heavily on the alchemical ...

    Nuclear decommissioning, the process of closing a nuclear facility; Decommissioned highway, a disused road or one removed of numbered highway status; Greenfield status, a decommissioned industrial site considered back to its pre-establishment condition

  6. Deposition (phase transition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(phase_transition)

    One example of deposition is the process by which, in sub-freezing air, water vapour changes directly to ice without first becoming a liquid. This is how frost and hoar frost form on the ground or other surfaces. Another example is when frost forms on a leaf. For deposition to occur, thermal energy must be removed from a gas.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound

    For example, water is composed of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom: the chemical formula is H 2 O. In the case of non-stoichiometric compounds , the proportions may be reproducible with regard to their preparation, and give fixed proportions of their component elements, but proportions that are not integral [e.g., for palladium ...
