  2. Tetramethylammonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetramethylammonium

    Tetramethylammonium (TMA) is the simplest quaternary ammonium cation. It has the chemical formula [Me 4 N] + and consists of four methyl groups (−CH 3, denoted Me) attached to a central nitrogen atom. The cation is isoelectronic with neopentane (Me 4 C). It is positively-charged and can only be isolated in association with a counter-ion.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-sector_model

    Three sectors according to Fourastié Clark's sector model This figure illustrates the percentages of a country's economy made up by different sector. The figure illustrates that countries with higher levels of socio-economic development tend to have less of their economy made up of primary and secondary sectors and more emphasis in tertiary sectors.

  4. Ternary compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_compound

    With four elements, quaternary phases are more complex. The number of isomers of a ternary compound provide a distinction between inorganic and organic chemistry: "In inorganic chemistry one or, at most, only a few compounds composed of any two or three elements were known, whereas in organic chemistry the situation was very different."

  5. Quaternary ammonium cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_ammonium_cation

    Quaternary ammonium cation. The R groups may be the same or different alkyl or aryl groups. Also, the R groups may be connected. In organic chemistry, quaternary ammonium cations, also known as quats, are positively-charged polyatomic ions of the structure [NR 4] +, where R is an alkyl group, an aryl group [1] or organyl group.

  6. Quaternary (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_(chemistry)

    Quaternary is a term used in organic chemistry to classify various types of compounds (e. g. amines and ammonium salts). [1]

  7. Quaternary compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_compound

    In chemistry, a quaternary compound is a compound consisting of exactly four chemical elements. In another use of the term in organic chemistry, a quaternary compound is or has a cation consisting of a central positively charged atom with four substituents, especially organic (alkyl and aryl) groups, discounting hydrogen atoms. [1]

  8. Quaternary phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_phase

    In materials chemistry, a quaternary phase is a chemical compound containing four elements. Some compounds can be molecular or ionic, examples being chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF 2) and sodium bicarbonate (NaCO 3 H). More typically quaternary phase refers to extended solids. A famous example are the yttrium barium copper oxide superconductors. [1]

  9. Enhanced oil recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_oil_recovery

    Crude oil development and production can include up to three distinct phases: primary, secondary, and tertiary (or enhanced) recovery. During primary recovery, the natural pressure of the reservoir or gravity drive oil into the wellbore, combined with artificial lift techniques (such as pumps) which bring the oil to the surface. [1]
