  2. Solution (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    On the other hand, non-polar solutes dissolve better in non-polar solvents. Examples are hydrocarbons such as oil and grease that easily mix, while being incompatible with water. An example of the immiscibility of oil and water is a leak of petroleum from a damaged tanker, that does not dissolve in the ocean water but rather floats on the surface.

  3. Bohr–Sommerfeld model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr–Sommerfeld_model

    For example, up to first-order perturbations, the Bohr model and quantum mechanics make the same predictions for the spectral line splitting in the Stark effect. At higher-order perturbations, however, the Bohr model and quantum mechanics differ, and measurements of the Stark effect under high field strengths helped confirm the correctness of ...

  4. Formula unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_unit

    In contrast, the terms molecule or molecular formula are applied to molecules. [3] The formula unit is used as an independent entity for stoichiometric calculations. [4] [5] Examples of formula units, include ionic compounds such as NaCl and K 2 O and covalent networks such as SiO 2 and C (as diamond or graphite). [6]

    In this example the first eye, with a −1.00 diopter prescription, is the stronger eye, needing only slight correction to sharpen the image formed, and hence a thin spectacle lens. The second eye, with a −4.00 diopter prescription, is the weaker eye, needing moderate correction to sharpen the image formed, and hence a moderately thick ...

  6. Octasulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octasulfur

    The name octasulfur is the most commonly used for this chemical. It is systematically named cyclo-octasulfur (which is the preferred IUPAC name) and cyclooctasulfane.It is also the final member of the thiocane heterocylic series, where every carbon atom is substituted with a sulfur atom, thus this sulfur allotrope is systematically named octathiocane as well.

  7. Holm–Bonferroni method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holm–Bonferroni_method

    The method is as follows: Suppose you have p-values, sorted into order lowest-to-highest , …,, and their corresponding hypotheses , …, (null hypotheses). You want the FWER to be no higher than a certain pre-specified significance level.

  8. Coordination geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_geometry

    IUCr have proposed a symbol which is shown as a superscript in square brackets in the chemical formula. For example, CaF 2 would be Ca [8cb] F 2 [4t], where [8cb] means cubic coordination and [4t] means tetrahedral. The equivalent symbols in IUPAC are CU−8 and T−4 respectively. [1]

  9. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    [100] [101] For example, MgCl 2 is named magnesium chloride, and Na 2 SO 4 is named sodium sulfate (SO 2− 4, sulfate, is an example of a polyatomic ion). To obtain the empirical formula from these names, the stoichiometry can be deduced from the charges on the ions, and the requirement of overall charge neutrality. [102]
