    Figure 3: PES for water molecule: Shows the energy minimum corresponding to optimized molecular structure for water, O−H bond length of 0.0958 nm and H−O−H bond angle of 104.5° The same concept is applied to organic compounds like ethane, butane etc. to define their lowest energy and most stable conformations.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemosynthesis

    Venenivibrio stagnispumantis gains energy by oxidizing hydrogen gas.. In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in ...

  5. Ethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethane

    Although ethane is a greenhouse gas, it is much less abundant than methane, has a lifetime of only a few months compared to over a decade, [30] and is also less efficient at absorbing radiation relative to mass. In fact, ethane's global warming potential largely results from its conversion in the atmosphere to methane. [31]

  6. Catalytic reforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_reforming

    Catalytic reforming is a chemical process used to convert naphthas from crude oil into liquid products called reformates, which are premium "blending stocks" for high-octane gasoline. The process converts low-octane linear hydrocarbons (paraffins) into branched alkanes (isoparaffins) and cyclic naphthenes , which are then partially ...

    For example, the absorption spectrum for ethane shows a σ → σ* transition at 135 nm and that of water a n → σ* transition at 167 nm with an extinction coefficient of 7,000. Benzene has three aromatic π → π* transitions; two E-bands at 180 and 200 nm and one B-band at 255 nm with extinction coefficients respectively 60,000, 8,000 and 215.

    Ocean: a major body of salty water that, in totality, covers about 71% of the Earth's surface. Oxbow lake: a U-shaped lake formed when a wide meander from the mainstem of a river is cut off to create a lake. Phytotelma: a small, discrete body of water held by some plants. Plunge pool: a depression at the base of a waterfall. Pool

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C2-Benzenes

    The C 2 benzenes are a class of organic aromatic compounds which contain a benzene ring and two other carbon atoms. For the hydrocarbons with no further unsaturation, there are four isomers. There are three xylenes and one ethylbenzene. The substances are:
