  2. Size consistency and size extensivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_consistency_and_size...

    In quantum chemistry, size consistency and size extensivity are concepts relating to how the behaviour of quantum-chemistry calculations changes with the system size. Size consistency (or strict separability) is a property that guarantees the consistency of the energy behaviour when interaction between the involved molecular subsystems is nullified (for example, by distance).

  3. Relative dating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_dating

    Relative dating by biostratigraphy is the preferred method in paleontology and is, in some respects, more accurate. [1] The Law of Superposition, which states that older layers will be deeper in a site than more recent layers, was the summary outcome of 'relative dating' as observed in geology from the 17th century to the early 20th century.

    Rhenium is present as the Re(VII) oxidation state as ReO 4 − within oxic conditions, but is reduced to Re(IV) which may form ReO 2 or ReS 2. Uranium is in oxidation state VI in UO 2 (CO 3) 3 4− (aq) and is found in the reduced form UO 2 (s). [40] Vanadium is in several forms in oxidation state V(V); HVO 4 2− and H 2 VO 4 −.

  5. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Perspective, relative size, occultation and texture gradients all contribute to the three-dimensional appearance of this photo. Depth perception is the ability to perceive distance to objects in the world using the visual system and visual perception. It is a major factor in perceiving the world in three dimensions

    Solidified lava flow in Hawaii Sedimentary layers in Badlands National Park, South Dakota Metamorphic rock, Nunavut, Canada. Geology (from Ancient Greek γῆ (gê) 'earth' and λoγία () 'study of, discourse') [1] [2] is a branch of natural science concerned with the Earth and other astronomical objects, the rocks of which they are composed, and the processes by which they change over time. [3]

  7. Dispersity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersity

    In chemistry, the dispersity is a measure of the heterogeneity of sizes of molecules or particles in a mixture. A collection of objects is called uniform if the objects have the same size, shape, or mass. A sample of objects that have an inconsistent size, shape and mass distribution is called non-uniform.

  8. Intensive and extensive properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive...

    According to International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), an intensive property or intensive quantity is one whose magnitude is independent of the size of the system. [3] An intensive property is not necessarily homogeneously distributed in space; it can vary from place to place in a body of matter and radiation.
