  2. Power factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor

    The power factor in a single-phase circuit (or balanced three-phase circuit) can be measured with the wattmeter-ammeter-voltmeter method, where the power in watts is divided by the product of measured voltage and current. The power factor of a balanced polyphase circuit is the same as that of any phase. The power factor of an unbalanced ...

  3. More O'Ferrall–Jencks plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_O'Ferrall–Jencks_plot

    These plots were first introduced in a 1970 paper by R. A. More O’Ferrall to discuss mechanisms of β-eliminations [2] and later adopted by W. P. Jencks in an attempt to clarify the finer details involved in the general acid-base catalysis of reversible addition reactions to carbon electrophiles such as the hydration of carbonyls.

  4. Armed and disarmed saccharides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_and_disarmed_saccharides

    The selectivity in the reaction is due to the stronger electron withdrawing power of the esters compared to the ethers. A stronger electron withdrawing substituent leads to a greater destabilization of the oxocarbenium ion. This slows this reaction pathway, and allows for disaccharide formation to occur with the benzylated sugar.

  5. List of unsolved problems in chemistry - Wikipedia

    RNA folding problem: Is it possible to accurately predict the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of a polyribonucleic acid sequence based on its sequence and environment? Protein design : Is it possible to design highly active enzymes de novo for any desired reaction?

  6. Dispersion stabilized molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_stabilized...

    The effect of dispersion stabilization was further probed with a series of meta-substituted hexaphenylethane molecules substituted with Me, i Pr, t Bu, Cy, and adamantyl groups. [11] Of these molecules, only the t Bu and adamantyl analogs were observed to form the head-to-head dimer, showing the sensitivity of dispersion stabilization to rigid ...

  7. Leading and lagging current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_and_Lagging_Current

    Angle notation can easily describe leading and lagging current: . [1] In this equation, the value of theta is the important factor for leading and lagging current. As mentioned in the introduction above, leading or lagging current represents a time shift between the current and voltage sine curves, which is represented by the angle by which the curve is ahead or behind of where it would be ...

  8. Lennard-Jones potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennard-Jones_potential

    In computational chemistry, molecular physics, and physical chemistry, the Lennard-Jones potential (also termed the LJ potential or 12-6 potential; named for John Lennard-Jones) is an intermolecular pair potential. Out of all the intermolecular potentials, the Lennard-Jones potential is probably the one that has been the most extensively studied.

  9. Lattice energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_energy

    Some chemistry textbooks [3] as well as the widely used CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics [4] define lattice energy with the opposite sign, i.e. as the energy required to convert the crystal into infinitely separated gaseous ions in vacuum, an endothermic process. Following this convention, the lattice energy of NaCl would be +786 kJ/mol.
