  2. Granular convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_convection

    The phenomenon is also known as the muesli effect since it is seen in packets of breakfast cereal containing particles of different sizes but similar density, such as muesli mix. Under experimental conditions, granular convection of variously sized particles has been observed forming convection cells similar to fluid motion. [5] [6]

  3. Ball-and-stick model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-and-stick_model

    A plastic ball-and-stick model of proline. In chemistry, the ball-and-stick model is a molecular model of a chemical substance which displays both the three-dimensional position of the atoms and the bonds between them. [1] The atoms are typically represented by spheres, connected by rods which represent the bonds.

  4. Molar mass distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_mass_distribution

    Polymer molecules, even ones of the same type, come in different sizes (chain lengths, for linear polymers), so the average molecular mass will depend on the method of averaging. The number average molecular mass is the ordinary arithmetic mean or average of the molecular masses of the individual macromolecules.

  5. Size–weight illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size–weight_illusion

    The illusion occurs when a person underestimates the weight of a larger object (e.g. a box) when compared to a smaller object of the same mass.The illusion also occurs when the objects are not lifted against gravity, but accelerated horizontally, so it should be called a size-mass illusion. [6]

  6. Plastic ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_ratio

    In mathematics, the plastic ratio is a geometrical proportion close to 53/40. Its true value is the real solution of the equation x 3 = x + 1. The adjective plastic does not refer to the artificial material, but to the formative and sculptural qualities of this ratio, as in plastic arts. Squares with sides in ratio ρ form a closed spiral

  7. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    The +M effect, also known as the positive mesomeric effect, occurs when the substituent is an electron donating group. The group must have one of two things: a lone pair of electrons, or a negative charge. In the +M effect, the pi electrons are transferred from the group towards the conjugate system, increasing the density of the system.

  8. Two-balloon experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-balloon_experiment

    The two-balloon experiment is an experiment involving interconnected balloons. It is used in physics classes as a demonstration of elasticity. Two identical balloons are inflated to different diameters and connected by means of a tube. The flow of air through the tube is controlled by a valve or clamp.

  9. Cyclooctadiene iridium methoxide dimer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclooctadiene_iridium_m...

    Cyclooctadiene iridium methoxide dimer is an organoiridium compound with the formula Ir 2 (OCH 3) 2 (C 8 H 12) 2, where C 8 H 12 is the diene 1,5-cyclooctadiene.It is a yellow solid that is soluble in organic solvents.
