  2. Zeeman effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeeman_effect

    The anomalous effect appears on transitions where the net spin of the electrons is non-zero. It was called "anomalous" because the electron spin had not yet been discovered, and so there was no good explanation for it at the time that Zeeman observed the effect.

  3. Absolute configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_configuration

    In chemistry, absolute configuration refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms within a molecular entity (or group) that is chiral, and its resultant stereochemical description. [1] Absolute configuration is typically relevant in organic molecules where carbon is bonded to four different substituents .

  4. Cerium anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerium_anomaly

    Cerium in coal is typically weakly negative, meaning that it is present at slightly lower concentrations than the other rare-earth elements. [2] Cerium anomalies in coal are influenced by the sediment source region. [2] Coal mined from mafic regions dominated by basalts, such as the location of the Xinde Mine in China, does not have a Ce ...

  5. Anomalous X-ray scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_X-ray_scattering

    Anomalous X-ray scattering (AXRS or XRAS) is a non-destructive determination technique within X-ray diffraction that makes use of the anomalous dispersion that occurs when a wavelength is selected that is in the vicinity of an absorption edge of one of the constituent elements of the sample. It is used in materials research to study nanometer ...

  6. Multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-wavelength_anomalous...

    Multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (sometimes Multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion; abbreviated MAD) is a technique used in X-ray crystallography that facilitates the determination of the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules (e.g. DNA, drug receptors) via solution of the phase problem.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...
