  2. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    The total kinetic energy of a system depends on the inertial frame of reference: it is the sum of the total kinetic energy in a center of momentum frame and the kinetic energy the total mass would have if it were concentrated in the center of mass.

  3. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    Thus, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the absolute temperature of an ideal monatomic gas can be calculated easily: per mole: 12.47 J/K; per molecule: 20.7 yJ/K = 129 μeV/K; At standard temperature (273.15 K), the kinetic energy can also be obtained: per mole: 3406 J; per molecule: 5.65 zJ = 35.2 meV.

  4. Chemical kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_kinetics

    Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions. It is different from chemical thermodynamics, which deals with the direction in which a reaction occurs but in itself tells nothing about its rate.

  5. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    A physical constant relating the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas with the temperature of the gas. It is the gas constant R divided by the Avogadro constant NA. Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) boson A type of subatomic particle that behaves according to Bose–Einstein statistics and possesses integer spin.

  6. Energy level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_level

    The energy spectrum of a system with such discrete energy levels is said to be quantized. In chemistry and atomic physics, an electron shell, or principal energy level, may be thought of as the orbit of one or more electrons around an atom's nucleus. The closest shell to the nucleus is called the "1 shell" (also called "K shell"), followed by ...

  7. Thermodynamic state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_state

    Temperature (T) represents the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system. It's a measure of how hot or cold a system is. Pressure (P) is the force exerted by the particles of a system on a unit area of the container walls. Volume (V) refers to the space occupied by the system.

  8. Specific kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_kinetic_energy

    The specific kinetic energy of a system is a crucial parameter in understanding its dynamic behavior and plays a key role in various scientific and engineering applications. Specific kinetic energy is an intensive property, whereas kinetic energy and mass are extensive properties. The SI unit for specific kinetic energy is the joule per ...

  9. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    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 ...
