  2. Water cluster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cluster

    In chemistry, a water cluster is a discrete hydrogen bonded assembly or cluster of molecules of water. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Many such clusters have been predicted by theoretical models ( in silico ), and some have been detected experimentally in various contexts such as ice , bulk liquid water, in the gas phase , in dilute mixtures with non-polar ...

  3. Muon-catalyzed fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion

    Muon-catalyzed fusion (abbreviated as μCF or MCF) is a process allowing nuclear fusion to take place at temperatures significantly lower than the temperatures required for thermonuclear fusion, even at room temperature or lower. It is one of the few known ways of catalyzing nuclear fusion reactions.

  4. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    For molecules containing lone pairs, the true hybridization of these molecules depends on the amount of s and p characters of the central atom which is related to its electronegativity. "According to Bent's rule , as the substituent electronegativies increase, orbitals of greater p character will be directed towards those groups.

  5. Theoretical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_chemistry

    Theoretical chemistry is the branch of chemistry which develops theoretical generalizations that are part of the theoretical arsenal of modern chemistry: for example, the concepts of chemical bonding, chemical reaction, valence, the surface of potential energy, molecular orbitals, orbital interactions, and molecule activation.

  6. Direct bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_bonding

    The wafers are covered with water molecules so the bonding happens between chemisorbed water molecules on the opposing wafer surfaces. In consequence a significant fraction of Si-OH (silanol) groups start to polymerize at room temperature forming Si-O-Si and water and a sufficient bonding strength for handling the wafer stack is assured.

  7. Walsh diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walsh_diagram

    Walsh Diagram of an HAH molecule. Walsh diagrams, often called angular coordinate diagrams or correlation diagrams, are representations of calculated orbital binding energies of a molecule versus a distortion coordinate (bond angles), used for making quick predictions about the geometries of small molecules.

  8. Heavy water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water

    This is because hydrogen atoms (1 H and 2 H) are rapidly exchanged between water molecules. Water containing 50% 1 H and 50% 2 H in its hydrogen, is actually about 50% HDO and 25% each of H 2 O and D 2 O, in dynamic equilibrium. In normal water, about 1 molecule in 3,200 is HDO (one hydrogen in 6,400 is 2 H), and heavy water molecules (D

  9. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Water molecules stay close to each other , due to the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. These hydrogen bonds are constantly breaking, with new bonds being formed with different water molecules; but at any given time in a sample of liquid water, a large portion of the molecules are held together by such bonds.
