  2. Molecular model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_model

    A molecular model is a physical model of an atomistic system that represents molecules and their processes. They play an important role in understanding chemistry and generating and testing hypotheses .

  3. Theoretical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_chemistry

    Jacobus van 't Hoff (1852–1911), an influential theoretical chemist and the first winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.. Theoretical chemistry is the branch of chemistry which develops theoretical generalizations that are part of the theoretical arsenal of modern chemistry: for example, the concepts of chemical bonding, chemical reaction, valence, the surface of potential energy, molecular ...

  4. Difference model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_model

    The difference model is a theory of gendered differences in language which sees men and women as inhabiting different 'sub-cultures', ...

  5. Molecular modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_modelling

    Molecular modelling encompasses all methods, theoretical and computational, used to model or mimic the behaviour of molecules. [1] The methods are used in the fields of computational chemistry, drug design, computational biology and materials science to study molecular systems ranging from small chemical systems to large biological molecules and material assemblies.

  6. Valence bond theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_bond_theory

    According to this theory a covalent bond is formed between two atoms by the overlap of half filled valence atomic orbitals of each atom containing one unpaired electron. Valence Bond theory describes chemical bonding better than Lewis Theory, which states that atoms share or transfer electrons so that they achieve the octet rule.

  7. Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

    Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms. [2]: 1.1 It is the foundation of all quantum physics, which includes quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.

  8. HSAB theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSAB_theory

    The ECW model is quantitative model that describes and predicts the strength of Lewis acid base interactions, -ΔH . The model assigned E and C parameters to many Lewis acids and bases. Each acid is characterized by an E A and a C A. Each base is likewise characterized by its own E B and C B. The E and C parameters refer, respectively, to the ...

  9. Theoretical plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_plate

    A theoretical plate in many separation processes is a hypothetical zone or stage in which two phases, such as the liquid and vapor phases of a substance, establish an equilibrium with each other.
