  2. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    [4] [5] Bent's rule can be justified through the relative energy levels of s and p orbitals. Bent's rule represents a modification of VSEPR theory for molecules of lower than ideal symmetry. [6] For bonds with the larger atoms from the lower periods, trends in orbital hybridization depend strongly on both electronegativity and orbital size.

  3. Lipinski's rule of five - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipinski's_Rule_of_Five

    Lipinski's rule of five, also known as Pfizer's rule of five or simply the rule of five (RO5), is a rule of thumb to evaluate druglikeness or determine if a chemical compound with a certain pharmacological or biological activity has chemical properties and physical properties that would likely make it an orally active drug in humans.

    The order of sequence of atomic orbitals (according to Madelung rule or Klechkowski rule) can be remembered by the following. [2] Order in which orbitals are arranged by increasing energy according to the Madelung rule. Each diagonal red arrow corresponds to a different value of n + l.

  5. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    The bond angle for water is 104.5°. Valence shell electron pair repulsion ( VSEPR ) theory ( / ˈ v ɛ s p ər , v ə ˈ s ɛ p ər / VESP -ər , [ 1 ] : 410 və- SEP -ər [ 2 ] ) is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms.

  6. Acid dissociation constant - Wikipedia

    Pauling's second rule is that the value of the first pK a for acids of the formula XO m (OH) n depends primarily on the number of oxo groups m, and is approximately independent of the number of hydroxy groups n, and also of the central atom X. Approximate values of pK a are 8 for m = 0, 2 for m = 1, −3 for m = 2 and < −10 for m = 3. [28]

    They also provide a shuttle for the efficient transfer of one proton in the formation of intermediate 5. The above mechanism is consistent with all available experimental evidence. [ 3 ] The equilibrium between species 1 and 2 is supported by 18 O Isotopic labeling experiments.

  8. Hume-Rothery rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hume-Rothery_rules

    For alloys containing transition metal elements there is a difficulty in interpretation of the Hume-Rothery electron concentration rule, as the values of e/a values (number of itinerant electrons per atom) for transition metals have been quite controversial for a long time, and no satisfactory solutions have yet emerged. [9] [10]

  9. Bredt's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bredt's_rule

    Bredt's rule is the empirical observation that such molecules only form in large ring systems. For example, two of the following norbornene isomers violate Bredt's rule, and are too unstable to prepare: Bridgehead atoms violating Bredt's rule in red. The rule is named after Julius Bredt, who first discussed it in 1902 [1] and codified it in ...
