Dispersion is a process by which (in the case of solid dispersing in a liquid) agglomerated particles are separated from each other, and a new interface between the inner surface of the liquid dispersion medium and the surface of the dispersed particles is generated. This process is facilitated by molecular diffusion and convection. [4]
Dispersion (chemistry), a system in which particles are dispersed in a continuous phase of a different composition; Dispersion (geology), a process whereby sodic soil disperses when exposed to water; Dispersion (materials science), the fraction of atoms of a material exposed to the surface; Dispersion polymerization, a polymerization process
In materials science, dispersion is the fraction of atoms of a material exposed to the surface. In general, D = N S / N , where D is the dispersion, N S is the number of surface atoms and N T is the total number of atoms of the material. [ 1 ]
In chemistry, the dispersity is a measure of the heterogeneity of sizes of molecules or particles in a mixture. A collection of objects is called uniform if the objects have the same size, shape, or mass.
Dispersion forces keep the molecule inert even while its core Si-Si bond lengthens. Similarly, the longest known Ge-Ge bond is found in t Bu 3 GeGe t Bu 3 and is also facilitated by dispersion stabilization. [19] Dispersion stabilization has also been invoked for (t BuC) 3 P, a main group analog of a hydrocarbon tetrahedrane. [20]
Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena in chemical systems in terms of the principles, practices, and concepts of physics such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, analytical dynamics and chemical equilibria.
Dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency. [1] Sometimes the term chromatic dispersion is used to refer to optics specifically, as opposed to wave propagation in general. A medium having this common property may be termed a dispersive medium.
Sedimentation equilibrium in a suspension of different particles, such as molecules, exists when the rate of transport of each material in any one direction due to sedimentation equals the rate of transport in the opposite direction due to diffusion.
