  2. Tholin - Wikipedia

    On Titan, their chemistry is initiated at high altitudes and participates in the formation of solid organic particles. [8] These atmospherically-derived substances are distinct from ice tholin II, which are formed instead by irradiation of clathrates of water and organic compounds such as methane (CH 4) or ethane (C 2 H 6).

  3. Surface layering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_layering

    Surface layering is a quasi-crystalline structure at the surfaces of otherwise disordered liquids, where atoms or molecules of even the simplest liquid are stratified into well-defined layers parallel to the surface. While in crystalline solids such atomic layers can extend periodically throughout the entire dimension of a crystal, surface ...

  4. Monolayer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolayer

    A Langmuir monolayer or insoluble monolayer is a one-molecule thick layer of an insoluble organic material spread onto an aqueous subphase in a Langmuir-Blodgett trough. Traditional compounds used to prepare Langmuir monolayers are amphiphilic materials that possess a hydrophilic headgroup and a hydrophobic tail.

  5. Self-assembled monolayer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-assembled_monolayer

    Metal substrates for use in SAMs can be produced through physical vapor deposition techniques, electrodeposition or electroless deposition. [1] Thiol or selenium SAMs produced by adsorption from solution are typically made by immersing a substrate into a dilute solution of alkane thiol in ethanol, though many different solvents can be used [1] besides use of pure liquids. [16]

  6. Decantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decantation

    Decanting a liquid from a solid. Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. [1] The layer closer to the top of the container—the less dense of the two liquids, or the liquid from which the precipitate or sediment has settled out—is poured off, leaving denser liquid or the solid behind.

  7. Smectite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smectite

    The TOT layers are negatively charged because of the isomorphic substitution of Si(IV) atoms by Al(III) atoms in the two external silica tetrahedral layers and because of the replacement of Al(III) or Fe(III) atoms by Mg 2+ or Fe 2+ cations in the inner gibbsite octahedral layer. As the +4 charges born by Si(IV), and normally compensated by − ...

  9. Electron shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_shell

    In chemistry and atomic physics, an electron shell may be thought of as an orbit that electrons follow around an atom's nucleus.The closest shell to the nucleus is called the "1 shell" (also called the "K shell"), followed by the "2 shell" (or "L shell"), then the "3 shell" (or "M shell"), and so on further and further from the nucleus.
