  2. Physical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_chemistry

    t. e. Physical chemistry is the study of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena in chemical systems in terms of the principles, practices, and concepts of physics such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, analytical dynamics and chemical equilibria. Physical chemistry, in contrast to chemical ...

  3. Mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture

    Mixture. A mixture is a material made up of two or more different chemical substances which can be separated by physical method. [1] A mixture is the physical combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions and colloids. [2][3]

  4. Woods–Saxon potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woods–Saxon_potential

    Woods–Saxon potential for A = 50, relative to V 0 with a = 0.5 fm and =. The Woods–Saxon potential is a mean field potential for the nucleons (protons and neutrons) inside the atomic nucleus, which is used to describe approximately the forces applied on each nucleon, in the nuclear shell model for the structure of the nucleus.

  5. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

    Combustibility and flammability. A combustible material is a material that can burn (i.e., sustain a flame) in air under certain conditions. A material is flammable if it ignites easily at ambient temperatures. In other words, a combustible material ignites with some effort and a flammable material catches fire immediately on exposure to flame.

  6. List of materials properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.

  7. Formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde

    It is stored as aqueous solutions (formalin), which consists mainly of the hydrate CH 2 (OH) 2. It is the simplest of the aldehydes ( R−CHO ). As a precursor to many other materials and chemical compounds, in 2006 the global production of formaldehyde was estimated at 12 million tons per year. [ 14 ]

  8. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    A black carbon fibre (used as a reinforcement component) compared to a human hair. Composites are formed by combining materials together to form an overall structure with properties that differ from that of the individual components. A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is ...

  9. Chemical property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_property

    A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any attribute that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity. [1] Simply speaking, chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance; the substance's internal ...
