  2. Reduction potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_potential

    In aqueous solutions, redox potential is a measure of the tendency of the solution to either gain or lose electrons in a reaction. A solution with a higher (more positive) reduction potential than some other molecule will have a tendency to gain electrons from this molecule (i.e. to be reduced by oxidizing this other molecule) and a solution with a lower (more negative) reduction potential ...

  3. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    Foods that derive most of their energy from fat have a much higher energy density than those that derive most of their energy from carbohydrates or proteins, even if the water content is the same. Nutrients with a lower absorption, such as fiber or sugar alcohols , lower the energy density of foods as well.

  4. Partition coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_coefficient

    Here, the green substance has a greater solubility in the lower layer than in the upper layer. The partition coefficient, abbreviated P, is defined as a particular ratio of the concentrations of a solute between the two solvents (a biphase of liquid phases), specifically for un-ionized solutes, and the logarithm of the ratio is thus log P.

  5. Energy profile (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The electronic energy is then taken to depend parametrically on the nuclear coordinates, meaning a new electronic energy (E e) must be calculated for each corresponding atomic configuration. [2] [3] PES is an important concept in computational chemistry and greatly aids in geometry and transition state optimization.

  6. Enantiomeric excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiomeric_excess

    in what is known as the Horeau effect [3] the relationship between mole based ee and optical rotation based ee can be non-linear i.d. in the succinic acid example the optical activity at 50% ee is lower than expected. the specific rotation of enantiopure 1-phenylethanol can be enhanced by the addition of achiral acetophenone as an impurity. [4]

    When you buy stock, you're essentially buying a tiny piece of the company it represents. Understanding how profitable the company is in relation to its stock price can be an important consideration...

  8. Chemical potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_potential

    For example, n-type silicon has a higher internal chemical potential of electrons than p-type silicon. In a p–n junction diode at equilibrium the chemical potential (internal chemical potential) varies from the p-type to the n-type side, while the total chemical potential (electrochemical potential, or, Fermi level) is constant throughout the ...

    Typically, any expense ratio higher than one percent is high and should be avoided. Over an investing career, a low expense ratio could easily save you tens of thousands of dollars, if not more.
