    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Chemistry

    learning the systematics of crystal and glass chemistry. understanding how physical and chemical properties are related to crystal structure and microstructure. studying the engineering significance of these ideas and how they relate to foreign products: past, present, and future. Topics studied are: Chemical bonding, Electronegativity

  3. Prochirality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prochirality

    A face is labeled re if, when looking at that face, the substituents at the trigonal atom are arranged in increasing Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority order (1 to 2 to 3) in a clockwise order, and si if the priorities increase in anti-clockwise order; note that the designation of the resulting chiral center as S or R depends on the priority of the ...

  4. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    By definition, the syntax (hkℓ) denotes a plane that intercepts the three points a 1 /h, a 2 /k, and a 3 /ℓ, or some multiple thereof. That is, the Miller indices are proportional to the inverses of the intercepts of the plane with the unit cell (in the basis of the lattice vectors).

  5. Silicon carbide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_carbide

    Alpha silicon carbide (α-SiC) is the most commonly encountered polymorph, and is formed at temperatures greater than 1,700 °C and has a hexagonal crystal structure (similar to Wurtzite). The beta modification (β-SiC), with a zinc blende crystal structure (similar to diamond), is formed at temperatures below 1,700 °C. [35]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  7. Synthetic molecular motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_molecular_motor

    Synthetic molecular motors are molecular machines capable of continuous directional rotation under an energy input. [2] Although the term "molecular motor" has traditionally referred to a naturally occurring protein that induces motion (via protein dynamics), some groups also use the term when referring to non-biological, non-peptide synthetic motors.

  8. Orthorhombic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorhombic_crystal_system

    In crystallography, the orthorhombic crystal system is one of the 7 crystal systems.Orthorhombic lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along two of its orthogonal pairs by two different factors, resulting in a rectangular prism with a rectangular base (a by b) and height (c), such that a, b, and c are distinct.

  9. Mechanochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanochemistry

    Mechanochemistry (or mechanical chemistry) is the initiation of chemical reactions by mechanical phenomena. Mechanochemistry thus represents a fourth way to cause chemical reactions, complementing thermal reactions in fluids, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. Conventionally mechanochemistry focuses on the transformations of covalent bonds ...
