  2. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    However, the bond angle between the two O–H bonds is only 104.5°, rather than the 109.5° of a regular tetrahedron, because the two lone pairs (whose density or probability envelopes lie closer to the oxygen nucleus) exert a greater mutual repulsion than the two bond pairs. [1]: 410–417 [10]

  3. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    Nuclear chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that involves the chemical reactions of unstable and radioactive elements where both electronic and nuclear changes can occur. The substance (or substances) initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants or reagents.

  4. Scale (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Use of the term "scale" is unrelated to the concept of weighing; rather it is related to cognate terms in mathematics (e.g., geometric scaling, the linear transformation that enlarges or shrinks objects, and scale parameters in probability theory), and in applied areas (e.g., in the scaling of images in architecture, engineering, cartography ...

  5. Scale parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_parameter

    Animation showing the effects of a scale parameter on a probability distribution supported on the positive real line. Effect of a scale parameter over a mixture of two normal probability distributions. If the probability density exists for all values of the complete parameter set, then the density (as a function of the scale parameter only ...

  6. Probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability

    Probability is the branch of mathematics and statistics concerning events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger the probability, the more likely an event is to occur. [note 1] [1] [2] This number is often expressed as a percentage (%), ranging from 0% to ...

  7. Probability interpretations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_interpretations

    Epistemic or subjective probability is sometimes called credence, as opposed to the term chance for a propensity probability. Some examples of epistemic probability are to assign a probability to the proposition that a proposed law of physics is true or to determine how probable it is that a suspect committed a crime, based on the evidence ...

  8. Probability space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_space

    In probability theory, a probability space or a probability triple (,,) is a mathematical construct that provides a formal model of a random process or "experiment". For example, one can define a probability space which models the throwing of a die. A probability space consists of three elements: [1] [2]

  9. Coefficient of determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

    Ordinary least squares regression of Okun's law.Since the regression line does not miss any of the points by very much, the R 2 of the regression is relatively high.. In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R 2 or r 2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).
