  2. Methanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol

    Methanol and its vapours are flammable. Moderately toxic for small animals – Highly toxic to large animals and humans (in high concentrations) – May be fatal/lethal or cause blindness and damage to the liver, kidneys, and heart if swallowed – Toxicity effects from repeated over exposure have an accumulative effect on the central nervous system, especially the optic nerve – Symptoms may ...

  3. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Note that the dipole moments drawn in this diagram represent the shift of the valence electrons as the origin of the charge, which is opposite the direction of the actual electric dipole moment. The bond dipole moment [5] uses the idea of electric dipole moment to measure the polarity of a chemical bond within a molecule. It occurs whenever ...

  4. Dipolar compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipolar_compound

    Example of a dipolar compound, represented by a resonance structure 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.

  5. Dipole moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_moment

    Transition dipole moment, the electrical dipole moment in quantum mechanics; Molecular dipole moment, the electric dipole moment of a molecule. Bond dipole moment, the measure of polarity of a chemical bond; Electron electric dipole moment, the measure of the charge distribution within an electron; Magnetic dipole moment, the measure of the ...

  6. Reaction field method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_field_method

    The reaction field method is used in molecular simulations to simulate the effect of long-range dipole-dipole interactions for simulations with periodic boundary conditions. Around each molecule there is a 'cavity' or sphere within which the Coulomb interactions are treated explicitly.

  7. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    An example in organic chemistry of the role of geometry in determining dipole moment is the cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene. In the cis isomer the two polar C−Cl bonds are on the same side of the C=C double bond and the molecular dipole moment is 1.90 D.

  8. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    electric dipole moment A measure of the separation of positive and negative electric charges within an electrical system, i.e. a measure of the system's overall electrical polarity. The SI unit for measuring electric dipole moment is the coulomb-metre (C⋅m), but the debye (D), a non-SI unit, is also widely used in chemistry and atomic physics.

  9. Electric dipole moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_dipole_moment

    As a first example relating dipole moment to polarization, consider a medium made up of a continuous charge density ρ(r) and a continuous dipole moment distribution p(r). [ notes 5 ] The potential at a position r is: [ 10 ] [ 11 ] ϕ ( r ) = 1 4 π ε 0 ∫ ρ ( r 0 )
