  2. Cohesion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(chemistry)

    Cohesion allows for surface tension, creating a "solid-like" state upon which light-weight or low-density materials can be placed. Mercury exhibits more cohesion than adhesion with glass Rain water flux from a canopy. Among the forces that govern drop formation: cohesion, surface tension, Van der Waals force, Plateau–Rayleigh instability

  3. GRASP (object-oriented design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRASP_(object-oriented_design)

    High cohesion is an evaluative pattern that attempts to keep objects appropriately focused, manageable and understandable. High cohesion is generally used in support of low coupling. High cohesion means that the responsibilities of a given set of elements are strongly related and highly focused on a rather specific topic.

  4. Coupling (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(computer...

    Coupling and cohesion. Coupling is usually contrasted with cohesion. Low coupling often correlates with high cohesion, and vice versa. Low coupling is often thought to be a sign of a well-structured computer system and a good design, and when combined with high cohesion, supports the general goals of high readability and maintainability ...

  5. Coupling reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_reaction

    The most common type of coupling reaction is the cross coupling reaction. [1] [2] [3] Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions. [4] [5] Broadly speaking, two types of coupling reactions are recognized:

  6. Adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion

    Generally, cases where the contact angle is low are considered of higher adhesion per unit area. This approach assumes that the lower contact angle corresponds to a higher surface energy. [9] Theoretically, the more exact relation between contact angle and work of adhesion is more involved and is given by the Young-Dupre equation. The contact ...

  7. Surface energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_energy

    The surface energy of a liquid may be measured by stretching a liquid membrane (which increases the surface area and hence the surface energy). In that case, in order to increase the surface area of a mass of liquid by an amount, δA, a quantity of work, γ δA, is needed (where γ is the surface energy density of the liquid).

  8. Lattice energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_energy

    In chemistry, the lattice energy is the energy change upon formation of one mole of a crystalline ionic compound from its constituent ions, which are assumed to initially be in the gaseous state. It is a measure of the cohesive forces that bind ionic solids.

  9. Cross-coupling reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-coupling_reaction

    In organic chemistry, a cross-coupling reaction is a reaction where two different fragments are joined. Cross-couplings are a subset of the more general coupling reactions. Often cross-coupling reactions require metal catalysts. One important reaction type is this:
