  2. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions. In physics, chemistry, and other related fields like biology, a phase transition (or phase change) is the physical process of transition between one state of a medium and another.

  3. 2,2-Dimethoxypropane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,2-Dimethoxypropane

    2,2-Dimethoxypropane (DMP) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 C(OCH 3) 2. A colorless liquid, it is the product of the condensation of acetone and methanol. DMP is used as a water scavenger in water-sensitive reactions. Upon acid-catalyzed reaction, DMP reacts quantitatively with water to form acetone and methanol. [2]

  4. Methoxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methoxy_group

    In nature, methoxy groups are found on nucleosides that have been subjected to 2′-O-methylation, for example in variations of the 5′-cap structure known as cap-1 and cap-2. They are also common substituents in O -methylated flavonoids , whose formation is catalyzed by O-methyltransferases that act on phenols , such as catechol- O -methyl ...

  5. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    The effect is used in a qualitative way and describes the electron withdrawing or releasing properties of substituents based on relevant resonance structures and is symbolized by the letter M. [2] The mesomeric effect is negative ( –M ) when the substituent is an electron-withdrawing group , and the effect is positive ( +M ) when the ...

  6. Phase (matter) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(matter)

    A typical phase diagram for a single-component material, exhibiting solid, liquid and gaseous phases. The solid green line shows the usual shape of the liquid–solid phase line. The dotted green line shows the anomalous behavior of water when the pressure increases. The triple point and the critical point are shown as red dots.

  7. Magdeburg hemispheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdeburg_hemispheres

    The experiment became a popular way to illustrate the principles of air pressure, and many smaller copies of the hemispheres were made, and are used to this day in science classes. Reenactments of von Guericke's experiment of 1654 are performed in locations around the world by the Otto von Guericke Society.

  8. Diauxic growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diauxic_growth

    The second phase is a lag phase while the genes used in lactose metabolism are expressed and observable cell growth stops. This is followed by another growth phase which is slower than the first because of the use of lactose as the primary energy source. The final stage is the saturation phase. This process can also refer to the positive ...

  9. Coincidence method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coincidence_method

    The higher the rate of interactions or reaction products that can be measured in coincidence, the harder it is to justify such an event occurred from background flux and the higher the experiment's efficiency. As an example, the Cowan and Reines’ neutrino experiment (1956) used a design that featured a four-fold coincidence technique. [2]
