  2. Pauling's principle of electroneutrality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_principle_of...

    There are two possible structures for hydrogen cyanide, HCN and CNH, differing only as to the position of the hydrogen atom. The structure with hydrogen attached to nitrogen, CNH, leads to formal charges of -1 on carbon and +1 on nitrogen, which would be partially compensated for by the electronegativity of nitrogen and Pauling calculated the net charges on H, N and C as -0.79, +0.75 and +0.04 ...

  3. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralization_(chemistry)

    Ba(OH) 2 + 2 H + → Ba 2+ + 2 H 2 O. The same equation relating the concentrations of acid and base applies. The concept of neutralization is not limited to reactions in solution. For example, the reaction of limestone with acid such as sulfuric acid is also a neutralization reaction. [Ca,Mg]CO 3 (s) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) → (Ca 2+, Mg 2+)(aq) + SO ...

  4. Ligand - Wikipedia

    2 orbitals of high energy: d z 2 and d x 2 −y 2. The energy difference between these 2 sets of d-orbitals is called the splitting parameter, Δ o . The magnitude of Δ o is determined by the field-strength of the ligand: strong field ligands, by definition, increase Δ o more than weak field ligands.

  5. Ion-neutral complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion-neutral_complex

    An ion-neutral complex in chemistry is an aggregate of an ion with one or more neutral molecules in which at least one of the partners has a rotational degree of freedom about an axis perpendicular to the intermolecular direction [1] In chemistry, the dissociation of a molecule into two or more fragments can take place in the gas phase, provided there is sufficient internal energy for the ...

  6. Neutral particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_particle

    Other neutral particles are very short-lived and decay before they could be detected even if they were charged. They have been observed only indirectly. They include: Z bosons [PDG 4] Dozens of heavy neutral hadrons: Neutral mesons such as the π 0 [PDG 5] and K 0 [PDG 6] The neutral Delta baryon (Δ 0), [PDG 7] and other neutral baryons, such ...

  7. Neutrino - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino

    The neutrino [a] was postulated first by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930 to explain how beta decay could conserve energy, momentum, and angular momentum ().In contrast to Niels Bohr, who proposed a statistical version of the conservation laws to explain the observed continuous energy spectra in beta decay, Pauli hypothesized an undetected particle that he called a "neutron", using the same -on ending ...

  8. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  9. Dipolar compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipolar_compound

    In organic chemistry, a dipolar compound or simply dipole is an electrically neutral molecule carrying a positive and a negative charge in at least one canonical description. In most dipolar compounds the charges are delocalized . [ 1 ]
