  2. Entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

    Since an entropy is a state function, the entropy change of the system for an irreversible path is the same as for a reversible path between the same two states. [23] However, the heat transferred to or from the surroundings is different as well as its entropy change. We can calculate the change of entropy only by integrating the above formula.

  3. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    A line graph representing the change between different phases of matter, typically from a gas to a solid or a liquid to a solid, as a function of time and temperature; e.g. showing how the temperature of a liquid substance changes over time as it condenses below its freezing point. coordinate chemistry coordinate covalent bond See dipolar bond.

  4. Betacism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betacism

    Betacism occurred in Ancient Hebrew; the sound [b] (denoted ב ) changed to [β] and eventually to [v] except when geminated or when following a consonant or pause. As a result, the two sounds became allophones ; but, due to later sound changes, including the loss of gemination, the distinction became phonemic again in Modern Hebrew .

  5. Enthalpy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy

    Enthalpy (/ ˈ ɛ n θ əl p i / ⓘ) is the sum of a thermodynamic system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume. [1] It is a state function in thermodynamics used in many measurements in chemical, biological, and physical systems at a constant external pressure, which is conveniently provided by the large ambient atmosphere.

  6. Element (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_(mathematics)

    Conventionally the domain is called the universe denoted U. The range is the set of subsets of U called the power set of U and denoted P( U ). Thus the relation ∈ {\displaystyle \in } is a subset of U × P( U ) .

  7. Flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux

    The magnetic flux density (magnetic field) having the unit Wb/m 2 is denoted by B, and magnetic flux is defined analogously: [13] [14] = with the same notation above. The quantity arises in Faraday's law of induction , where the magnetic flux is time-dependent either because the boundary is time-dependent or magnetic field is time-dependent.

  8. Parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameter

    For example, the sample mean (estimator), denoted ¯, can be used as an estimate of the mean parameter (estimand), denoted μ, of the population from which the sample was drawn. Similarly, the sample variance (estimator), denoted S 2 , can be used to estimate the variance parameter (estimand), denoted σ 2 , of the population from which the ...

  9. Split-complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-complex_number

    The change of sign distinguishes the split-complex numbers from the ordinary complex ones. The hyperbolic unit j is not a real number but an independent quantity. The collection of all such z is called the split-complex plane. Addition and multiplication of split-complex numbers are defined by
