  2. Elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_reaction

    Elimination reaction of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene with sulfuric acid and heat [1] An elimination reaction is a type of organic reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism. [2] The one-step mechanism is known as the E2 reaction, and the two-step mechanism is known as the E1 reaction ...

  3. Reactivity series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series

    The order of reactivity, as shown by the vigour of the reaction with water or the speed at which the metal surface tarnishes in air, appears to be Cs > K > Na > Li > alkaline earth metals, i.e., alkali metals > alkaline earth metals, the same as the reverse order of the (gas-phase) ionization energies.

  4. Electrochemical reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_reaction...

    The C represents a chemical reaction which can be any elementary reaction step and is often called a "following" reaction. In coordination chemistry common C steps which "follow" electron transfer are ligand loss and association. The ligand loss or gain is associated with a geometric change in the complexes coordination sphere.

  5. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    Mass change = (unbound system calculated mass) − (measured mass of system) e.g. (sum of masses of protons and neutrons) − (measured mass of nucleus) After a nuclear reaction occurs that results in an excited nucleus, the energy that must be radiated or otherwise removed as binding energy in order to decay to the unexcited state may be in ...

  6. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. [1] When chemical reactions occur, the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is accompanied by an energy change as new products are generated.

    Number of atoms N = Number of atoms remaining at time t. N 0 = Initial number of atoms at time t = 0 N D = Number of atoms decayed at time t = + dimensionless dimensionless Decay rate, activity of a radioisotope: A = Bq = Hz = s −1 [T] −1: Decay constant: λ = /

  8. Proton–proton chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton–proton_chain

    Comparing the mass of the final helium-4 atom with the masses of the four protons reveals that 0.7 percent of the mass of the original protons has been lost. This mass has been converted into energy, in the form of kinetic energy of produced particles, gamma rays, and neutrinos released during each of the individual reactions. The total energy ...

  9. Electron capture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_capture

    Electron capture happens most often in the heavier neutron-deficient elements where the mass change is smallest and positron emission is not always possible. When the loss of mass in a nuclear reaction is greater than zero but less than 2 m e c 2 the process cannot occur by positron emission, but occurs spontaneously for electron capture.
