  2. Curtin–Hammett principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtin–Hammett_principle

    The Curtin–Hammett principle is a principle in chemical kinetics proposed by David Yarrow Curtin and Louis Plack Hammett.It states that, for a reaction that has a pair of reactive intermediates or reactants that interconvert rapidly (as is usually the case for conformational isomers), each going irreversibly to a different product, the product ratio will depend both on the difference in ...

  3. Campbell's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell's_law

    Campbell's law is an adage developed by Donald T. Campbell, a psychologist and social scientist who often wrote about research methodology, which states: . The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor.

  4. Arrow pushing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_pushing

    Arrow pushing or electron pushing is a technique used to describe the progression of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. [1] It was first developed by Sir Robert Robinson.In using arrow pushing, "curved arrows" or "curly arrows" are drawn on the structural formulae of reactants in a chemical equation to show the reaction mechanism.

  5. Pushforward measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushforward_measure

    The previous example extends nicely to give a natural "Lebesgue measure" on the n-dimensional torus T n. The previous example is a special case, since S 1 = T 1. This Lebesgue measure on T n is, up to normalization, the Haar measure for the compact, connected Lie group T n.

  6. Aufbau principle - Wikipedia

    For example, in copper 29 Cu, according to the Madelung rule, the 4s subshell (n + l = 4 + 0 = 4) is occupied before the 3d subshell (n + l = 3 + 2 = 5). The rule then predicts the electron configuration 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 3d 9 4s 2, abbreviated [Ar] 3d 9 4s 2 where [Ar] denotes the configuration of argon, the preceding noble gas.

  7. Ostwald ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_ripening

    The history of research progress in quantitatively modeling Ostwald ripening is long, with many derivations. [8] In 1958, Lifshitz and Slyozov [9] performed a mathematical investigation of Ostwald ripening in the case where diffusion of material is the slowest process. They began by stating how a single particle grows in a solution.

  8. Reaction progress kinetic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_progress_kinetic...

    Examples of utilization of reaction progress NMR abound, with notable examples including investigation of Buchwald–Hartwig amination (One might note that considerable debate surrounded the best approach to mechanistic development of the Buchwald-Hartwig amination as indicated by a number of contradictory and competing reports published over a ...

  9. Accelerating change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_change

    On the contrary, in many cases this means an early exit to the plateau of speed. The processes occurring in natural science allow us to suggest that the observed picture of accelerating scientific and technological progress, after some time (in physical processes, as a rule, is short) will be replaced by a slowdown and a complete stop.
