  2. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    The matrix above can be used with the molar refractivity equation and other data to produce density data for crystallography. Each polarizability measurement along with the refractive index associated with its direction will yield a direction specific density that can be used to develop an accurate three dimensional assessment of molecular ...

  3. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end. Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.

  4. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics defines specific rotation as: For an optically active substance, defined by [α] θ λ = α/γl, where α is the angle through which plane polarized light is rotated by a solution of mass concentration γ and path length l. Here θ is the Celsius temperature and λ the wavelength of the light at which ...

  5. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    Optical activity is measured using a polarized source and polarimeter. This is a tool particularly used in the sugar industry to measure the sugar concentration of syrup, and generally in chemistry to measure the concentration or enantiomeric ratio of chiral molecules in solution.

  6. Concentration polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_polarization

    When a chemical species participating in an electrochemical electrode reaction is in short supply, the concentration of this species at the surface decreases causing diffusion, which is added to the migration transport towards the surface in order to maintain the balance of consumption and delivery of that species. [vague] Fig. 1.

  7. Molar refractivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_refractivity

    Molar refractivity, [1] [2], is a measure of the total polarizability of a mole of a substance.. For a perfect dielectric which is made of one type of molecule, the molar refractivity is proportional to the polarizability of a single molecule of the substance.

  8. Partial charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_charge

    the relationship of atomic charges to chemical reactivity and reaction mechanisms for similar compounds reported in the literature. The discussion of individual compounds in prior work has shown convergence in atomic charges, i.e., a high level of consistency between the assigned degree of polarity and the physical-chemical properties mentioned ...

  9. Polarizable continuum model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizable_continuum_model

    The polarizable continuum model (PCM) is a commonly used method in computational chemistry to model solvation effects. When it is necessary to consider each solvent molecule as a separate molecule, the computational cost of modeling a solvent-mediated chemical reaction becomes prohibitively high.
