  2. Acid strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_strength

    Acid strength is the tendency of an acid, symbolised by the chemical formula, to dissociate into a proton, +, and an anion, .The dissociation or ionization of a strong acid in solution is effectively complete, except in its most concentrated solutions.

  3. Non-ionizing radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-ionizing_radiation

    Non-ionizing radiation is not a significant health risk. In contrast, ionizing radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than non-ionizing radiation, and can be a serious health hazard: exposure to it can cause burns, radiation sickness, many kinds of cancer, and genetic damage.

  4. Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brønsted–Lowry_acid...

    Because DMSO accepts protons more strongly than H 2 O the acid becomes stronger in this solvent than in water. [11] Indeed, many molecules behave as acids in non-aqueous solutions but not in aqueous solutions. An extreme case occurs with carbon acids, where a proton is extracted from a C−H bond. [12] Some non-aqueous solvents can behave as acids.

  5. RKKY interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKKY_interaction

    The RKKY interaction is a long-range interaction between magnetic moments in a metal. The energy oscillates with distance, decaying as r − 3 {\displaystyle r^{-3}} . The oscillations are caused by the interaction of the magnetic moments with the conduction electrons in the metal.

  6. Magnetosonic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetosonic_wave

    In physics, magnetosonic waves, also known as magnetoacoustic waves, are low-frequency compressive waves driven by mutual interaction between an electrically conducting fluid and a magnetic field. They are associated with compression and rarefaction of both the fluid and the magnetic field, as well as with an effective tension that acts to ...

  7. Nonradiation condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonradiation_condition

    Finding a nonradiating model for the electron on an atom dominated the early work on atomic models. In a planetary model of the atom, the orbiting point electron would constantly accelerate towards the nucleus, and thus according to the Larmor formula emit electromagnetic waves.

  8. Ion acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_acoustic_wave

    In plasma physics, an ion acoustic wave is one type of longitudinal oscillation of the ions and electrons in a plasma, much like acoustic waves traveling in neutral gas. However, because the waves propagate through positively charged ions, ion acoustic waves can interact with their electromagnetic fields , as well as simple collisions.

  9. HSAB theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSAB_theory

    An alternative quantitative measure is the heat of formation of the Lewis acid-base adduct in a non-coordinating solvent. The ECW model is quantitative model that describes and predicts the strength of Lewis acid base interactions, -ΔH . The model assigned E and C parameters to many Lewis acids and bases.
