  2. Diastereomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diastereomer

    As stated previously, two diastereomers will not have identical chemical properties. This knowledge is harnessed in chiral synthesis to separate a mixture of enantiomers. This is the principle behind chiral resolution. After preparing the diastereomers, they are separated by chromatography or recrystallization.

  3. Winnowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnowing

    The winnowing-fan (λίκνον [líknon], also meaning a "cradle") featured in the rites accorded Dionysus and in the Eleusinian Mysteries: "it was a simple agricultural implement taken over and mysticized by the religion of Dionysus," Jane Ellen Harrison remarked. [1]

  4. Separation process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_process

    A separation process is a method that converts a mixture or a solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct product mixtures, [1] a scientific process of separating two or more substances in order to obtain purity. At least one product mixture from the separation is enriched in one or more of the source mixture's constituents.

  5. Synapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synapse

    Diagram of a chemical synaptic connection. In the nervous system, a synapse [1] is a structure that allows a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or a target effector cell.

  6. endo–exo isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endo–exo_isomerism

    In organic chemistry, endo–exo isomerism is a special type of stereoisomerism found in organic compounds with a substituent on a bridged ring system. [1] The prefix endo is reserved for the isomer with the substituent located closest, or "syn", to the longest bridge.

  7. Dual consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_consciousness

    Dual consciousness (also known as dual mind or divided consciousness) is a hypothesis in neuroscience.It is proposed that it is possible that a person may develop two separate conscious entities within their one brain after undergoing a corpus callosotomy.

  8. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    The process of separating the component substances of a liquid mixture by exploiting differences in the relative volatility of the mixture's components through selective boiling and subsequent condensation. The apparatus used to distill a substance is called a still, and the re-condensed substance yielded by the process is called the distillate.

  9. Centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifuge

    A centrifuge is a device that uses centrifugal force to subject a specimen to a specified constant force - for example, to separate various components of a fluid. This is achieved by spinning the fluid at high speed within a container, thereby separating fluids of different densities (e.g. cream from milk) or liquids from solids. It works by ...
