  2. Vinyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_group

    On a carbon skeleton, sp 2-hybridized carbons or positions are often called vinylic. Allyls , acrylates and styrenics contain vinyl groups. (A styrenic crosslinker with two vinyl groups is called divinyl benzene .)

  3. Vinyl cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_cation

    The vinyl cation is a carbocation with the positive charge on an alkene carbon. Its empirical formula of the parent ion is C 2 H + 3.Vinyl cation are invoked as reactive intermediates in solvolysis of vinyl halides, [1] [2] as well as electrophilic addition to alkynes and allenes.

  4. Baroclinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroclinity

    The annulus is heated at the outer wall and cooled at the inner wall, and the resulting fluid flows give rise to baroclinically unstable waves. [10] [11] The term "baroclinic" refers to the mechanism by which vorticity is generated. Vorticity is the curl of the velocity field.

    Inversion-created smog in Nowa Ruda, Poland, 2017 Temperature inversion phenomenon in the early morning near Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia where smoke that was emitted from an oil palm mill stayed close to the ground. The wind carried the smoke in the direction of the nearby settlement to the middle-right of the photo (August 2023).

  6. α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α,β-Unsaturated_carbonyl...

    α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds featuring a carbonyl conjugated to an alkene that is terminal, or vinylic, contain the acryloyl group (H 2 C=CH−C(=O)−); it is the acyl group derived from acrylic acid. The preferred IUPAC name for the group is prop-2-enoyl, and it is also known as acrylyl or simply (and incorrectly) as acryl. Compounds ...

  7. Photo-oxidation of polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-oxidation_of_polymers

    In polymer chemistry, photo-oxidation (sometimes: oxidative photodegradation) is the degradation of a polymer surface due to the combined action of light and oxygen. [1] It is the most significant factor in the weathering of plastics. [2]

  8. Atmospheric instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_instability

    Within an unstable layer in the troposphere, the lifting of air parcels will occur, and continue for as long as the nearby atmosphere remains unstable. Once overturning through the depth of the troposphere occurs (with convection being capped by the relatively warmer, more stable layer of the stratosphere ), deep convective currents lead to ...

  9. Vinyl neodecanoate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_neodecanoate

    Vinyl neodecanoate (trade name VeoVa 10) is a vinylic monomer that is virtually always used in combination with other monomers to create latices or emulsion polymers. [3] The trade name is an acronym of Vinyl ester of Versatic Acid with the number 10 meaning 10 carbons in the molecule. It has a medium to low glass transition temperature of -3 °C.
