  2. Magnesium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_oxide

    Magnesium oxide (Mg O), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium (see also oxide).It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg 2+ ions and O 2− ions held together by ionic bonding.

  3. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    The Group 1 metal (M) is oxidised to its metal ions, and water is reduced to hydrogen gas (H 2) and hydroxide ion (OH −), giving a general equation of: 2 M(s) + 2 H 2 O(l) 2 M + (aq) + 2 OH − (aq) + H 2 (g) [8] The Group 1 metals or alkali metals become more reactive as their number of energy levels inceases.

  4. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Pure water containing no exogenous ions is an excellent electronic insulator, but not even "deionized" water is completely free of ions. Water undergoes autoionization in the liquid state when two water molecules form one hydroxide anion (OH −) and one hydronium cation (H 3 O +). Because of autoionization, at ambient temperatures pure liquid ...

  5. Thermal oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_oxidation

    The chlorine neutralizes metal ions that may occur in the oxide. Thermal oxide incorporates silicon consumed from the substrate and oxygen supplied from the ambient. Thus, it grows both down into the wafer and up out of it. For every unit thickness of silicon consumed, 2.17 unit thicknesses of oxide will appear. [2]

  6. Aluminium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxide

    Aluminium oxide (or aluminium(III) oxide) is a chemical compound of aluminium and oxygen with the chemical formula Al 2 O 3. It is the most commonly occurring of several aluminium oxides, and specifically identified as aluminium oxide. It is commonly called alumina and may also be called aloxide, aloxite, or alundum in various forms and ...

  7. List of thermal conductivities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermal_conductivities

    These thermal greases have low electrical conductivity and their volume resistivities are 1.5⋅10 15, 1.8⋅10 11, and 9.9⋅10 9 Ω⋅cm for 860, 8616 and 8617 respectively. The thermal grease 860 is a silicone oil with a Zinc Oxide filler and 8616 and 8617 are synthetic oils with various fillers including Aluminum Oxide and Boron Nitride.

  8. Calcium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_oxide

    Calcium oxide is usually made by the thermal decomposition of materials, such as limestone or seashells, that contain calcium carbonate (CaCO 3; mineral calcite) in a lime kiln. This is accomplished by heating the material to above 825 °C (1,517 °F), [ 6 ] [ 7 ] a process called calcination or lime-burning , to liberate a molecule of carbon ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    Its thermal conductivity (2,200 W/m•K) is five times greater than the most conductive metal (Ag at 429); 300 times higher than the least conductive metal (Pu at 6.74); and nearly 4,000 times that of water (0.58) and 100,000 times that of air (0.0224). This high thermal conductivity is used by jewelers and gemologists to separate diamonds from ...
