  2. List of states of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter

    For example, d-wave or triplet superconductor, or a Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov superconductor. Ferromagnetic superconductor: Materials that display intrinsic coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity. Charge-4e superconductor: A proposed state in which electrons are not bound as Cooper pairs but as quadruplets of electrons.

  3. Metal peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_peroxide

    Well characterized examples of transition metal peroxides include the d 10 metal cations: zinc peroxide (ZnO 2), two polymorphs (both explosive) of mercury peroxide (HgO 2), and cadmium peroxide (CdO 2). Peroxide is a common ligand in metal complexes. Within the area of transition metal dioxygen complexes, O 2− 2 functions as a bidentate ...

  4. Nickel compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_compounds

    Nickel is classified as a transition metal with nickel(II) having much chemical behaviour in common with iron(II) and cobalt(II). Many salts of nickel(II) are isomorphous with salts of magnesium due to the ionic radii of the cations being almost the same. Nickel forms many coordination complexes.

  5. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    For example, the Gross–Witten–Wadia phase transition in 2-d lattice quantum chromodynamics is a third-order phase transition. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The Curie points of many ferromagnetics is also a third-order transition, as shown by their specific heat having a sudden change in slope.

  6. Crystal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_field_theory

    For example, in an octahedral case, the t 2g set becomes lower in energy than the orbitals in the barycenter. As a result of this, if there are any electrons occupying these orbitals, the metal ion is more stable in the ligand field relative to the barycenter by an amount known as the CFSE.

  7. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    For example, Na–Cl and Mg–O interactions have a few percent covalency, while Si–O bonds are usually ~50% ionic and ~50% covalent. Pauling estimated that an electronegativity difference of 1.7 (on the Pauling scale ) corresponds to 50% ionic character, so that a difference greater than 1.7 corresponds to a bond which is predominantly ionic.

  8. List of chemistry mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

    A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.

  9. Hydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydride

    Ionic hydrides are used as bases and, occasionally, as reducing reagents in organic synthesis. [12] C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 3 + KH → C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 2 K + H 2. Typical solvents for such reactions are ethers. Water and other protic solvents cannot serve as a medium for ionic hydrides because the hydride ion is a stronger base than hydroxide and most ...
