  3. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the chemical. The study of chemical structure by means of energy absorption and release is generally referred to as spectroscopy .

    The yellow color formed after long exposure to sun can also be related to further oxidation of phenolic end group [37] (OC 6 H 4 ) 2 C(CH 3 ) 2 CO) n + O 2 , R* → (OC 6 H 4 ) 2 C(CH 3 CH 2 )CO) n This product can be further oxidized to form smaller unsaturated compounds.

  5. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    Materials that do not transmit light are called opaque. Many such substances have a chemical composition which includes what are referred to as absorption centers. Many substances are selective in their absorption of white light frequencies. They absorb certain portions of the visible spectrum while reflecting others. The frequencies of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    A chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas and plus (+) and minus (−) signs.

  7. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    An opaque substance transmits no light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs all of it. Other categories of visual appearance, related to the perception of regular or diffuse reflection and transmission of light, have been organized under the concept of cesia in an order system with three variables, including opacity, transparency and ...
