  2. Diatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomic_molecule

    The molecular term symbol is a shorthand expression of the angular momenta that characterize the electronic quantum states of a diatomic molecule, which are also eigenstates of the electronic molecular Hamiltonian. It is also convenient, and common, to represent a diatomic molecule as two-point masses connected by a massless spring.

  3. Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(physics...

    A diatomic molecule has one molecular vibration mode: the two atoms oscillate back and forth with the chemical bond between them acting as a spring. A molecule with N atoms has more complicated modes of molecular vibration, with 3N − 5 vibrational modes for a linear molecule and 3N − 6 modes for a nonlinear molecule. [4]

  4. Molecular term symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_term_symbol

    In 1928 Eugene Wigner and E.E. Witmer proposed rules to determine the possible term symbols for diatomic molecular states formed by the combination of a pair of atomic states with given atomic term symbols. [4] [5] [6] For example, two like atoms in identical 3 S states can form a diatomic molecule in 1 Σ g +, 3 Σ u +, or 5 Σ g + states.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

    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.

  7. Dilithium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilithium

    Dilithium, Li 2, is a strongly electrophilic, diatomic molecule comprising two lithium atoms covalently bonded together. Li 2 has been observed in the gas phase. It has a bond order of 1, an internuclear separation of 267.3 pm and a bond energy of 102 kJ/mol or 1.06 eV in each bond. [1] The electron configuration of Li 2 may be written as σ 2.

  8. Disulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disulfur

    Disulfur is the diatomic molecule with the formula S 2. [2] It is analogous to the dioxygen molecule but rarely occurs at room temperature. This violet gas is the dominant species in hot sulfur vapors. S 2 is one of the minor components of the atmosphere of Io, which is predominantly composed of SO 2. [3]

  9. Hydrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen

    Hydrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol H and atomic number 1. It is the lightest element and, at standard conditions, is a gas of diatomic molecules with the formula H 2, sometimes called dihydrogen, [11] hydrogen gas, molecular hydrogen, or simply hydrogen. It is colorless, odorless, [12] non-toxic, and highly combustible.
