  2. Pauling's principle of electroneutrality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_principle_of...

    There are two possible structures for hydrogen cyanide, HCN and CNH, differing only as to the position of the hydrogen atom. The structure with hydrogen attached to nitrogen, CNH, leads to formal charges of -1 on carbon and +1 on nitrogen, which would be partially compensated for by the electronegativity of nitrogen and Pauling calculated the net charges on H, N and C as -0.79, +0.75 and +0.04 ...

  3. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_trends

    The energy released when an electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom to form an anion is known as electron affinity. [15] Trend-wise, as one progresses from left to right across a period , the electron affinity will increase as the nuclear charge increases and the atomic size decreases resulting in a more potent force of attraction of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  5. Thermoneutral voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoneutral_voltage

    In electrochemistry, a thermoneutral voltage is a voltage drop across an electrochemical cell which is sufficient not only to drive the cell reaction, but to also provide the heat necessary to maintain a constant temperature.

  6. Dipolar compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipolar_compound

    In organic chemistry, a dipolar compound or simply dipole is an electrically neutral molecule carrying a positive and a negative charge in at least one canonical description. In most dipolar compounds the charges are delocalized . [ 1 ]

  7. Neutral particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_particle

    Other neutral particles are very short-lived and decay before they could be detected even if they were charged. They have been observed only indirectly. They include: Z bosons [PDG 4] Dozens of heavy neutral hadrons: Neutral mesons such as the π 0 [PDG 5] and K 0 [PDG 6] The neutral Delta baryon (Δ 0), [PDG 7] and other neutral baryons, such ...

  8. pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

    This was the original definition of Sørensen in 1909, [18] which was superseded in favor of pH in 1924. [H] is the concentration of hydrogen ions, denoted [H +] in modern chemistry. More correctly, the thermodynamic activity of H + in dilute solution should be replaced by [H +]/c 0, where the standard state concentration c 0 = 1 mol/L. This ...

  9. Basic oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_oxide

    An oxide is a chemical compound in which one or more oxygen atoms combined with another element, such as H 2 O or CO 2.Based on their acid-base characteristics, oxides can be classified into four categories: acidic oxides, basic oxides, and amphoteric oxides and neutral oxides.
