  2. IB Group 4 subjects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IB_Group_4_subjects

    The Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Design Technology was last updated for first teaching in September 2014, with syllabus updates (including a decrease in the number of options), a new internal assessment component similar to that of the Group 5 (mathematics) explorations, and "a new concept-based approach" dubbed "the nature of science". A ...

  3. Solid-state nuclear track detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_nuclear_track...

    Microscopic photograph of deuteron tracks in CR-39. A solid-state nuclear track detector or SSNTD (also known as an etched track detector or a dielectric track detector, DTD) is a sample of a solid material (photographic emulsion, crystal, glass or plastic) exposed to nuclear radiation (neutrons or charged particles, occasionally also gamma rays), etched in a corrosive chemical, and examined ...

  4. Neighbouring group participation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbouring_group...

    In organic chemistry, neighbouring group participation (NGP, also known as anchimeric assistance) has been defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as the interaction of a reaction centre with a lone pair of electrons in an atom or the electrons present in a sigma or pi bond contained within the parent molecule but not conjugated with the reaction centre.

  5. Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

    Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.

  6. Ceric ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceric_ammonium_nitrate

    The anion [Ce(NO 3) 6] 2− has T h (idealized O h) molecular symmetry.The CeO 12 core defines an icosahedron. [4]Ce 4+ is a strong one-electron oxidizing agent.In terms of its redox potential (E° ≈ 1.61 V vs. N.H.E.) it is an even stronger oxidizing agent than Cl 2 (E° ≈ 1.36 V).

  7. Simmons–Smith reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simmons–Smith_reaction

    Thus, cyclohexene, diiodomethane, and a zinc-copper couple (as iodomethylzinc iodide, ICH 2 ZnI) yield norcarane (bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane). [5] [6]The Simmons–Smith reaction is generally preferred over other methods of cyclopropanation, [7] however it can be expensive due to the high cost of diiodomethane.

  8. Jones oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_oxidation

    4 HCrO 4 − + 3 RCH 2 OH + 16 H + + 11 H 2 O → 4 [Cr(H 2 O) 6] 3+ + 3 RCOOH. The inorganic products are green, characteristic of chromium(III) aquo complexes. [2] Like many other oxidations of alcohols by metal oxides, the reaction proceeds via the formation of a mixed chromate ester: [3] [4] These esters have the formula CrO 3 (OCH 2 R) −

  9. Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky...

    An example of the Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky reaction can be seen in the preparation of alanine from propionic acid.In the first step, a combination of bromine and phosphorus tribromide is used in the Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky reaction to prepare 2-bromopropionic acid, [3] which in the second step is converted to a racemic mixture of the amino acid product by ammonolysis.
