  2. Successive over-relaxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive_over-relaxation

    In numerical linear algebra, the method of successive over-relaxation (SOR) is a variant of the Gauss–Seidel method for solving a linear system of equations, resulting in faster convergence. A similar method can be used for any slowly converging iterative process .

  3. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics defines specific rotation as: For an optically active substance, defined by [α] θ λ = α/γl, where α is the angle through which plane polarized light is rotated by a solution of mass concentration γ and path length l. Here θ is the Celsius temperature and λ the wavelength of the light at which ...

  4. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier-transform_infrared...

    In addition, the improved sensitivity and speed have opened up new areas of application. Spectra can be measured in situations where very little energy reaches the detector. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used in geology, [11] chemistry, materials, botany [12] and biology research fields. [13]

  5. Polarimeter - Wikipedia

    The £-components are parallel to the optic axis while O- component is perpendicular to optic axis. The O-component travels faster in quartz and hence an emergence 0-component will be along OD instead of along OC. Thus components OA and OD will combine to form a resultant vibration along OQ which makes the same angle with optic axis as OP.

  6. Molecular symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_symmetry

    In chemistry, molecular symmetry describes the symmetry present in molecules and the classification of these molecules according to their symmetry. Molecular symmetry is a fundamental concept in chemistry, as it can be used to predict or explain many of a molecule's chemical properties , such as whether or not it has a dipole moment , as well ...

  7. Sulfur monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_monoxide

    The SO molecule has a triplet ground state similar to O 2 and S 2, that is, each molecule has two unpaired electrons. [2] The S−O bond length of 148.1 pm is similar to that found in lower sulfur oxides (e.g. S 8 O, S−O = 148 pm) but is longer than the S−O bond in gaseous S 2 O (146 pm), SO 2 (143.1 pm) and SO 3 (142 pm).

  8. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions.The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the rest of the molecule's composition.

  9. Polyphenylene sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphenylene_sulfide

    The PPS, which is otherwise insulating, can be converted to the semiconducting form by oxidation or use of dopants. [2] Polyphenylene sulfide is an engineering plastic, commonly used today as a high-performance thermoplastic. [3] PPS can be molded, extruded, or machined to tight tolerances.
