  2. Oligophagy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligophagy

    Oligophagy refers to the eating of only a few specific foods, and to monophagy when restricted to a single food source. [1] The term is usually associated with insect dietary behaviour. [ 2 ] Organisms may exhibit narrow or specific oligophagy where the diet is restricted to a very few foods or broad oligophagy where the organism feeds on a ...

  3. Oligomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligomer

    In chemistry and biochemistry, an oligomer (/ ə ˈ l ɪ ɡ ə m ər / ⓘ) is a molecule that consists of a few repeating units which could be derived, actually or conceptually, from smaller molecules, monomers. [1] [2] [3] The name is composed of Greek elements oligo-, "a few" and -mer, "parts". An adjective form is oligomeric. [3]

  4. AP Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Chemistry

    AP Chemistry is a course geared toward students with interests in chemical biologies, as well as any of the biological sciences. The course aims to prepare students to take the AP Chemistry exam toward the end of the academic year. AP Chemistry covers most introductory general chemistry topics (excluding organic chemistry), including: Reactions

  5. Template reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_reaction

    The term is mainly used in coordination chemistry. The template effects emphasizes the pre-organization provided by the coordination sphere, although the coordination modifies the electronic properties (acidity, electrophilicity, etc.) of ligands. [1] An early example is the dialkylation of a nickel dithiolate: [2]

  6. List of chemistry mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

    A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.

  7. Limiting reagent - Wikipedia

    If in fact 18 mol O 2 are present, there will be an excess of (18 - 11.25) = 6.75 mol of unreacted oxygen when all the benzene is consumed. Benzene is then the limiting reagent. This conclusion can be verified by comparing the mole ratio of O 2 and C 6 H 6 required by the balanced equation with the mole ratio actually present:

  8. Neighbouring group participation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbouring_group...

    In organic chemistry, neighbouring group participation (NGP, also known as anchimeric assistance) has been defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as the interaction of a reaction centre with a lone pair of electrons in an atom or the electrons present in a sigma or pi bond contained within the parent molecule but not conjugated with the reaction centre.

  9. Oligotroph - Wikipedia

    Below are some documented examples of oligotrophic environments in Antarctica: Lake Vostok, a freshwater lake which has been isolated from the world beneath 4 km (2.5 mi) of Antarctic ice is frequently held to be a primary example of an oligotrophic environment. [7] Analysis of ice samples showed ecologically separated microenvironments.
