  2. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    At constant pressure the maximum number of independent variables is three – the temperature and two concentration values. For a representation of ternary equilibria a three-dimensional phase diagram is required. Often such a diagram is drawn with the composition as a horizontal plane and the temperature on an axis perpendicular to this plane.

  3. Wulff construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wulff_Construction

    Wulff construction. The surface free energy is shown in red, with in black normals to lines from the origin to .The inner envelope is the Wulff shape, shown in blue. The Wulff construction is a method to determine the equilibrium shape of a droplet or crystal of fixed volume inside a separate phase (usually its saturated solution or vapor).

  4. Fischer projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_projection

    In chemistry, the Fischer projection, devised by Emil Fischer in 1891, is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional organic molecule by projection. Fischer projections were originally proposed for the depiction of carbohydrates and used by chemists, particularly in organic chemistry and biochemistry .

  5. Symmetry element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_element

    In chemistry and crystallography, a symmetry element is a point, line, or plane about which symmetry operations can take place. In particular, a symmetry element can be a mirror plane, an axis of rotation (either proper and improper), or a center of inversion.

  6. Maxwell construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_construction

    The discontinuity in , and other properties, e.g. internal energy, , and entropy,, of the substance, is called a first order phase transition. [12] [13] In order to specify the unique experimentally observed pressure, (), at which it occurs another thermodynamic condition is required, for from Fig.1 it could clearly occur for any pressure in the range .

  7. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another. [1]

  8. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    The 1b 1 MO is a lone pair, while the 3a 1, 1b 2 and 2a 1 MO's can be localized to give two O−H bonds and an in-plane lone pair. [30] This MO treatment of water does not have two equivalent rabbit ear lone pairs. [31] Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) too has a C 2v symmetry with 8 valence electrons but the bending angle is only 92°.

  9. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Expressing resonance when drawing Lewis structures may be done either by drawing each of the possible resonance forms and placing double-headed arrows between them or by using dashed lines to represent the partial bonds (although the latter is a good representation of the resonance hybrid which is not, formally speaking, a Lewis structure).
