  2. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    In 1905, "Einstein believed that Planck's theory could not be made to agree with the idea of light quanta, a mistake he corrected in 1906." [133] Contrary to Planck's beliefs of the time, Einstein proposed a model and formula whereby light was emitted, absorbed, and propagated in free space in energy quanta localized in points of space. [132]

  3. Transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_electron...

    Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. The specimen is most often an ultrathin section less than 100 nm thick or a suspension on a grid. An image is formed from the interaction of the electrons with the sample as the beam is transmitted ...

  4. Tetrahydrocannabinol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol

    Although the chemical formula for THC (C 21 H 30 O 2) describes multiple isomers, [10] the term THC usually refers to the delta-9-THC isomer with chemical name (−)-trans-Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol. It is a colorless oil.

  5. Acid dissociation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_dissociation_constant

    Weak. v. t. e. In chemistry, an acid dissociation constant (also known as acidity constant, or acid-ionization constant; denoted ⁠ ⁠) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution. It is the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction. known as dissociation in the context of acid–base reactions.

  6. Density functional theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_functional_theory

    Density functional theory (DFT) is a computational quantum mechanical modelling method used in physics, chemistry and materials science to investigate the electronic structure (or nuclear structure) (principally the ground state) of many-body systems, in particular atoms, molecules, and the condensed phases. Using this theory, the properties of ...

  7. Heavy water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water

    The electrode correction for alkaline conditions is 0.456 for heavy water. The alkaline correction is then pD+ = pH a (apparent reading from pH meter) + 0.456. These corrections are slightly different from the differences in p[D+] and p[OD-] of 0.44 from the corresponding ones in heavy water.
