  2. Rotamers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_conformation

    The staggered conformation is more stable by 12.5 kJ/mol than the eclipsed conformation, which is the energy maximum for ethane. In the eclipsed conformation the torsional angle is minimised. staggered conformation left, eclipsed conformation right in Newman projection

    B is highest & A lowest in energy. A is thus the most stable conformation. Valleys are local energy minima. A can thus be classified as a rotamer (a class of conformers). Peaks are not rotamers, & are caused by repulsive forces of the hydrogens. Source for conformation names & rotamer classification:

  4. Staggered conformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staggered_conformation

    Staggered conformation image right in Newman projection Eclipsed conformation. In organic chemistry, a staggered conformation is a chemical conformation of an ethane-like moiety abcX–Ydef in which the substituents a, b, and c are at the maximum distance from d, e, and f; this requires the torsion angles to be 60°. [1]

  5. Eclipsed conformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipsed_conformation

    Eclipsed conformation (image right in Newman projection) Staggered conformation. In chemistry an eclipsed conformation is a conformation in which two substituents X and Y on adjacent atoms A, B are in closest proximity, implying that the torsion angle X–A–B–Y is 0°. [1]

  6. List of elements by stability of isotopes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by...

    Of the 26 "monoisotopic" elements that have only a single stable isotope, all but one have an odd atomic number—the single exception being beryllium. In addition, no odd-numbered element has more than two stable isotopes, while every even-numbered element with stable isotopes, except for helium, beryllium, and carbon, has at least three.

  7. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    Soil texture is determined by the relative proportion of the three kinds of soil mineral particles, called soil separates: sand, silt, and clay. At the next larger scale, soil structures called peds or more commonly soil aggregates are created from the soil separates when iron oxides , carbonates , clay, silica and humus , coat particles and ...

  8. Macrocycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrocycle

    Cyclooctane prefers to reside in a chair-boat conformation, minimizing the number of eclipsing ethane interactions (shown in blue), as well as torsional strain. [27] The chair-chair conformation is the second most abundant conformation at room temperature, with a ratio of 96:4 chair-boat:chair-chair observed. [11]

  9. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    a) top soil and colluvium b) mature residual soil c) young residual soil d) weathered rock Soil deposits are affected by the mechanism of transport and deposition to their location. Soils that are not transported are called residual soils —they exist at the same location as the rock from which they were generated.
