  2. Planck constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant

    Planck was able to calculate the value of from experimental data on black-body radiation: his result, 6.55 × 10 −34 J⋅s, is within 1.2% of the currently defined value. [2] He also made the first determination of the Boltzmann constant k B {\displaystyle k_{\text{B}}} from the same data and theory.

    The specific heat of the human body calculated from the measured values of individual tissues is 2.98 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1. This is 17% lower than the earlier wider used one based on non measured values of 3.47 kJ · kg−1· °C−1. The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution ...

    Note that for different gasses, the value of H n differs, according to the molar mass M: It is 10.9 for nitrogen, 9.2 for oxygen and 6.3 for carbon dioxide. The theoretical value for water vapor is 19.6, but due to vapor condensation the water vapor density dependence is highly variable and is not well approximated by this formula.

  6. Electronegativities of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronegativities_of_the...

    Many of the highly radioactive elements have values that must be predictions or extrapolations, but are unfortunately not marked as such. This is especially problematic for francium, which by relativistic calculations can be shown to be less electronegative than caesium, but for which the only value (0.7) in the literature predates these ...

    The detonation velocity values presented here are typically for the highest practical density which maximizes achievable detonation velocity. [ 1 ] The velocity of detonation is an important indicator for overall energy and power of detonation, and in particular for the brisance or shattering effect of an explosive which is due to the ...

    [a] The constant satisfies the quadratic equation = + and is an irrational number with a value of [1] φ = 1 + 5 2 = {\displaystyle \varphi ={\frac {1+{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}=} 1.618 033 988 749 .... The golden ratio was called the extreme and mean ratio by Euclid , [ 2 ] and the divine proportion by Luca Pacioli , [ 3 ] and also goes by several other ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements

    List of chemical elements. 118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC. A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z). [1]
