  2. Sulfur tetrafluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_tetrafluoride

    It is a colorless corrosive gas that releases dangerous hydrogen fluoride gas upon exposure to water or moisture. Sulfur tetrafluoride is a useful reagent for the preparation of organofluorine compounds, [3] some of which are important in the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical industries.

  3. Thionyl tetrafluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thionyl_tetrafluoride

    Thionyl tetrafluoride, also known as sulfur tetrafluoride oxide, is an inorganic compound with the formula S O F 4. It is a colorless gas. The shape of the molecule is a distorted trigonal bipyramid, with the oxygen found on the equator. The atoms on the equator have shorter bond lengths than the fluorine atoms on the axis.

  4. List of quasiparticles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_quasiparticles

    The first known quasiparticle that behaves like a liquid [10] Duon Quasiparticle made of two particles coupled by hydrodynamic forces. These classical quasiparticles were observed as the elementary excitations in a 2D colloidal crystal driven by viscous flow. [11] Electron quasiparticle

  5. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    Shape of water molecule showing that the real bond angle 104.5° deviates from the ideal sp 3 angle of 109.5°. In chemistry, Bent's rule describes and explains the relationship between the orbital hybridization and the electronegativities of substituents. [1] [2] The rule was stated by Henry A. Bent as follows: [2]

  6. Metal aquo complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_aquo_complex

    The water molecules function as Lewis bases, donating a pair of electrons to the metal ion and forming a dative covalent bond with it. Typical examples are listed in the following table. Typical examples are listed in the following table.

  7. Pyrophoricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophoricity

    The creation of sparks from metals is based on the pyrophoricity of small metal particles, and pyrophoric alloys are made for this purpose. [2] Practical applications include the sparking mechanisms in lighters and various toys, using ferrocerium; starting fires without matches, using a firesteel; the flintlock mechanism in firearms; and spark testing ferrous metals.

  8. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    The transition from solid to liquid, and gas to liquid (shown by the white condensed water vapour). Other phase changes include: Transition to a mesophase between solid and liquid, such as one of the "liquid crystal" phases. The dependence of the adsorption geometry on coverage and temperature, such as for hydrogen on iron (110).

  9. Secondary ion mass spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_ion_mass...

    The liquid metal covers a tungsten tip and emits ions under influence of an intense electric field. While a gallium source is able to operate with elemental gallium, recently developed sources for gold , indium and bismuth use alloys which lower their melting points .
