    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telestrations

    Telestrations is a party game in which players are prompted to sketch a word listed on a card, then guess what the other players have drawn. The game is produced by The Op (USAopoly). The game is produced by The Op (USAopoly).

  3. Astrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrochemistry

    As an offshoot of the disciplines of astronomy and chemistry, the history of astrochemistry is founded upon the shared history of the two fields. The development of advanced observational and experimental spectroscopy has allowed for the detection of an ever-increasing array of molecules within solar systems and the surrounding interstellar medium.

  4. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    The "D-" and "L-" prefixes are used to specify the enantiomer of chiral organic compounds in biochemistry and are based on the compound's absolute configuration relative to (+)-glyceraldehyde, which is the D-form by definition. The prefix used to indicate absolute configuration is not directly related to the (+) or (−) prefix used to indicate ...

  5. Cis–trans isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism

    Another example of this is the relationship between oleic acid and elaidic acid; oleic acid, the cis isomer, has a melting point of 13.4 °C, making it a liquid at room temperature, while the trans isomer, elaidic acid, has the much higher melting point of 43 °C, due to the straighter trans isomer being able to pack more tightly, and is solid ...

  6. Stereochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereochemistry

    Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, studies the spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation. [1] The study of stereochemistry focuses on the relationships between stereoisomers, which are defined as having the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution) but differing in the geometric positioning of the atoms in space.

  7. Geochemistry - Wikipedia

    Geochemistry is the science that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms behind major geological systems such as the ... For example ...

  8. Stereoisomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoisomerism

    For example, there exists a variety of Cyclohexane conformations (which cyclohexane is an essential intermediate for the synthesis of nylon–6,6) including a chair conformation where four of the carbon atoms form the "seat" of the chair, one carbon atom is the "back" of the chair, and one carbon atom is the "foot rest"; and a boat conformation ...

  9. Exchange interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_interaction

    In chemistry and physics, the exchange interaction is a quantum mechanical constraint on the states of indistinguishable particles.While sometimes called an exchange force, or, in the case of fermions, Pauli repulsion, its consequences cannot always be predicted based on classical ideas of force.
