  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    The dipoles do not cancel out, resulting in a net dipole. The dipole moment of water depends on its state. In the gas phase the dipole moment is ≈ 1.86 debye (D), [ 11 ] whereas liquid water (≈ 2.95 D) [ 12 ] and ice (≈ 3.09 D) [ 13 ] are higher due to differing hydrogen-bonded environments.

  3. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    The linear molecule CO 2 has a zero dipole as the two bond dipoles cancel. Potassium bromide (KBr) has one of the highest dipole moments because it is an ionic compound that exists as a molecule in the gas phase. The bent molecule H 2 O has a net dipole. The two bond dipoles do not cancel. The overall dipole moment of a molecule may be ...

  4. Exodermis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodermis

    Roots are specialized for the uptake of water, nutrients (including ions for proper function). [12] Similar to the endodermis, the exodermis contains very compact cells and is surrounded by a Casparian band, two features which are used to restrict the flow of water to a symplastic fashion (through the cytoplasm) rather than apoplastic fashion which (through the cell wall) flow through passages ...

  5. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    This occurs if there is symmetry within the molecule that causes the dipoles to cancel each other out. This occurs in molecules such as tetrachloromethane and carbon dioxide. The dipoledipole interaction between two individual atoms is usually zero, since atoms rarely carry a permanent dipole. The Keesom interaction is a van der Waals force.

  6. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    One full wavelength in the conductor requires 2 π skin depths, at which point the current density is attenuated to e −2 π (1.87×10 −3, or −54.6 dB) of its surface value. The wavelength in the conductor is much shorter than the wavelength in vacuum , or equivalently, the phase velocity in a conductor is very much slower than the speed ...

  7. Debye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debye

    Typical dipole moments for simple diatomic molecules are in the range of 0 to 11 D. Molecules with symmetry point groups or containing inversion symmetry will not have a permanent dipole moment, while highly ionic molecular species have a very large dipole moment, e.g. gas-phase potassium bromide, KBr, with a dipole moment of 10.41 D. [3] A proton and an electron 1 Å apart have a dipole ...

  8. Plant perception (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_perception_(physiology)

    Plant perception is the ability of plants to sense and respond to the environment by adjusting their morphology and physiology. [1] Botanical research has revealed that plants are capable of reacting to a broad range of stimuli, including chemicals, gravity, light, moisture, infections, temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations, parasite infestation, disease, physical disruption ...

  9. Quadrupole magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrupole_magnet

    Four bar magnets configured to produce a quadrupole. Quadrupole magnets, abbreviated as Q-magnets, consist of groups of four magnets laid out so that in the planar multipole expansion of the field, the dipole terms cancel and where the lowest significant terms in the field equations are quadrupole.
