  2. Switch statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

    There is also a new form of case label, case L-> where the right-hand-side is a single expression. This also prevents fall through and requires that cases are exhaustive. In Java SE 13 the yield statement is introduced, and in Java SE 14 switch expressions become a standard language feature. [8] [9] [10] For example:

  3. Valence bond theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_bond_theory

    For example, in the case of the F 2 molecule, the F−F bond is formed by the overlap of p z orbitals of the two F atoms, each containing an unpaired electron. Since the nature of the overlapping orbitals are different in H 2 and F 2 molecules, the bond strength and bond lengths differ between H 2 and F 2 molecules.

  4. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

  5. Selection rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_rule

    In physics and chemistry, a selection rule, or transition rule, formally constrains the possible transitions of a system from one quantum state to another. Selection rules have been derived for electromagnetic transitions in molecules, in atoms, in atomic nuclei, and so on. The selection rules may differ according to the technique used to ...

  6. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Nuclear chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that involves the chemical reactions of unstable and radioactive elements where both electronic and nuclear changes can occur. The substance (or substances) initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants or reagents .

  7. Regioselectivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regioselectivity

    In organic chemistry, regioselectivity is the preference of chemical bonding or breaking in one direction over all other possible directions. [1] [2] It can often apply to which of many possible positions a reagent will affect, such as which proton a strong base will abstract from an organic molecule, or where on a substituted benzene ring a further substituent will be added.

  8. Linear combination of atomic orbitals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_combination_of...

    In this case, the shape of the molecular orbitals and their respective energies are deduced approximately from comparing the energies of the atomic orbitals of the individual atoms (or molecular fragments) and applying some recipes known as level repulsion and the like. The graphs that are plotted to make this discussion clearer are called ...

  9. Chemical reaction network theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction_network...

    Dynamical properties of reaction networks were studied in chemistry and physics after the invention of the law of mass action.The essential steps in this study were introduction of detailed balance for the complex chemical reactions by Rudolf Wegscheider (1901), [1] development of the quantitative theory of chemical chain reactions by Nikolay Semyonov (1934), [2] development of kinetics of ...
