  2. Free-radical addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_addition

    Chain propagation: A radical reacts with a non-radical to produce a new radical species; Chain termination: Two radicals react with each other to create a non-radical species; In a free-radical addition, there are two chain propagation steps. In one, the adding radical attaches to a multiply-bonded precursor to give a radical with lesser bond ...

  3. Free-radical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_reaction

    A free-radical reaction is any chemical reaction involving free radicals. This reaction type is abundant in organic reactions . Two pioneering studies into free radical reactions have been the discovery of the triphenylmethyl radical by Moses Gomberg (1900) and the lead-mirror experiment [ 1 ] described by Friedrich Paneth in 1927.

  4. Radical (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, a radical, also known as a free radical, is an atom, molecule, or ion that has at least one unpaired valence electron. [1] [2] With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make radicals highly chemically reactive. Many radicals spontaneously dimerize. Most organic radicals have short lifetimes.

  5. Spin trapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_trapping

    More rarely, C-nitroso spin traps such as 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulfonic acid (DBNBS) can be used: often additional hyperfine information is derived, but at a cost of specificity (due to facile non-radical addition of many compounds to C-nitroso species, and subsequent oxidation of the resulting hydroxylamine).

  6. Radical disproportionation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_disproportionation

    Due to the reactive nature of radical molecules, disproportionation proceeds rapidly and requires little to no activation energy. [1] The most thoroughly studied radical disproportionation reactions have been conducted with alkyl radicals, but there are many organic molecules that can exhibit more complex, multi-step disproportionation reactions.

  7. Kinetic chain length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_chain_length

    The kinetic chain length is important in determining the degree of polymerization, which in turn influences many physical properties of the polymer. Viscosity - Chain entanglements are very important in viscous flow behavior of polymers. As the chain becomes longer, chain mobility decreases; that is, the chains become more entangled with each ...

  8. Scientific calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_calculator

    Casio fx-77, a solar-powered digital calculator from the 1980s using a single-line LCD. A scientific calculator is an electronic calculator, either desktop or handheld, designed to perform calculations using basic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and advanced (trigonometric, hyperbolic, etc.) mathematical operations and functions.

  9. Nested radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_radical

    In the case of two nested square roots, the following theorem completely solves the problem of denesting. [2]If a and c are rational numbers and c is not the square of a rational number, there are two rational numbers x and y such that + = if and only if is the square of a rational number d.
