A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics. This article contains the list of certain mnemonics in chemistry.
The reactivity series is sometimes quoted in the strict reverse order of standard electrode potentials, when it is also known as the "electrochemical series". [8] The following list includes the metallic elements of the first six periods. It is mostly based on tables provided by NIST.
A circle mnemonic [3] was advanced which provides the MO energies of the system; this was the counterpart of the Frost–Musulin mnemonic [6] for ordinary Hückel systems. It was concluded that 4 n electrons is the preferred number for Möbius moieties in contrast to the common 4 n + 2 electrons for Hückel systems.
In chemistry, reactivity is the impulse for which a chemical substance undergoes a chemical reaction, either by itself or with other materials, with an overall release of energy. Reactivity refers to: the chemical reactions of a single substance, the chemical reactions of two or more substances that interact with each other,
Dewar's reactivity number is then defined as = (+). Clearly, the smaller the value of N i, the less the destabilization energy in going towards the transition state and the more reactive the site. Thus, by computation of the molecular orbital coefficients it is possible to evaluate Dewar's number for all the sites and establish which one will ...
These reactions are exothermic and the rise in temperature is usually in the order of the reactivity of the different metals. [5] If the reactant in elemental form is not the more reactive metal, then no reaction will occur. Some examples of this would be the reverse. + No Reaction
Reactivity may refer to: Reactivity (chemistry) , the rate at which a chemical substance tends to undergo a chemical reaction Reactive programming , a property of an execution model whereby changes are automatically propagated through a dataflow network
In general, in a group across the periodic table, the more basic the ion (the higher the pK a of the conjugate acid) the more reactive it is as a nucleophile. Within a series of nucleophiles with the same attacking element (e.g. oxygen), the order of nucleophilicity will follow basicity.
