Some Terminology

Complications arising from other types of isomerism. Positional and geometrical isomerism, also described in Sec. 1.6, will be excluded for simplicity. In actual polymers these are not always so easily ignored. Polymerization of 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes. Since these introduce two different asymmetric carbons into the polymer backbone (second substituent Y), they have the potential to display ditacticity. Our attention to these is limited to the illustration of some terminology which is derived from carbohydrate nomenclature (structures [IX]-[XII]) ... [Pg.472]

The primary use of chemical kinetics in CRE is the development of a rate law (for a simple system), or a set of rate laws (for a kinetics scheme in a complex system). This requires experimental measurement of rate of reaction and its dependence on concentration, temperature, etc. In this chapter, we focus on experimental methods themselves, including various strategies for obtaining appropriate data by means of both batch and flow reactors, and on methods to determine values of rate parameters. (For the most part, we defer to Chapter 4 the use of experimental data to obtain values of parameters in particular forms of rate laws.) We restrict attention to single-phase, simple systems, and the dependence of rate on concentration and temperature. It is useful at this stage, however, to consider some features of a rate law and introduce some terminology to illustrate the experimental methods. [Pg.42]

Table 1 displays the properties thatcan be discussed in terms of the tram effect (or cis or metal effect) together with some terminology, in order to allow the reader to connect this article to the literature concerning the simpler metal complexes (9-11,16-19) and to prevent some Tower-of-Babel confusion of language into which an ill-prepared reader might fall. The most general and appropriate terminology is the one used by Hill, Pratt, and Williams (Table 1, Column 2) it correlates with the properties to be discussed. Pratt additionally states that the cis or trans effects cover the three levels of properties, A-C (Table 1), and that these levels show diminishing...

In this section, we describe the behavior of the different metal ions. It may be useful to summarize first some terminologies used to describe the electronic structure. The ground state of the free-ion configuration depends on the maximum values of L = Y mi and S = mg. It is indicated by where X= S, P, D, F depending on the L value equal to 0,1,2,3, respectively. Therefore, a d metal ion has L=2 and S=l/2 and thus a configuration, etc. Other examples are reported in Table I. [Pg.116]

There is some terminology of chemical transport that needs to be defined. Some terminology has already been implied, and some may seem obvious, but these are so important to this text that we need to define them in one place and at one time. [Pg.10]

The next two figures introduce some terminology about hard and soft that I am pushing at the moment, because I think it is useful. Daryle Busch suggested this to me one time and I picked it up and found it useful. [Pg.22]

The next proposition says that there are no interesting homomorphisms from an irreducible representation to itself. We will use this consequence of Schur s lemma in our first prediction for the hydrogen atom. Proposition 7.7. For the statement of the proposition, some terminology is convenient. [Pg.182]

The book is divided into five parts. We progressively work our way from primarily compound-related aspects (intrinsic compound properties and reactivities) up to whole environmental system considerations. In the second introductory chapter (Chapter 2), we turn our attention to the main actors of this book anthropogenic organic chemicals. We review some terminology and basic concepts used in organic chemistry, and we take a glimpse at the structures of several different important classes of environmental organic chemicals. [Pg.9]

For the Argument task, you will not be required to know any technical analytical terms or systems of analysis. You may have learned some terminology for fallacies or analysis in your undergraduate classes, but you are not required to have any specific kind of knowledge of any particular subject matter. Instead, you will be assessed on how well you understand, analyze, and evaluate an argument, as well as on how well you convey your analysis in writing. [Pg.58]

Every chemical reaction has a driving force—a reason why it proceeds as it does. We can say that the reason why oxidation-reduction reactions proceed is because one atom is giving up electrons and another is accepting them. We can also make the statement a bit more forcefully by saying that an element is grabbing electrons from another. There is some terminology, discussed below, that is based on these ideas. Consider this equation... [Pg.184]

By introducing some terminology, Eq. (6.2) can be placed in a more familiar form. The force per area in the plane is termed the shear stress (r). The displacement of a plane layer (dx) over the separation between layers (dy) is termed the shear (dx/dy) acting on the fluid. Now since dV = d(dx/dt),... [Pg.157]

How can we tell whether a knot is in fact topologically chiral Before we address this question we need to introduce some terminology.62 64... [Pg.37]

Before beginning a discussion of the role of image devices in SMA, it would be helpful at this point to define some terminology used to describe various characteristics of these devices (1) Each individual sensing element of an image detector is known as a pixel. (2) Cross-talk between channels caused by charge... [Pg.41]

As knowledge is gained about the variety and types of chemical messengers, a definitive classification becomes more challenging some terminology has already become rednndant. [Pg.199]

To facilitate discussions on the preparation methods, characteristics and applications of inorganic membranes in the following chapters, some terminologies related to the types of membranes according to the combined structures of the separating and support layers, if applicable, will be introduced. [Pg.10]

To pursue the problem it is convenient to introduce some terminology. Instead of a phrase "a favorable arrangement of a number of consecutive base units" we shall use the name compact bundle it is relatively more rigid. Other arrangements of monomeric units will be called extended bundles. Thus we have two kinds of units constituting a polymer chain, to be denoted by symbols c and e. We introduce the symbol Nce for the number of pairs of nearest neighbor bundles such that one of them is compact and the other extended. Ncc and Nee are defined analogously. [Pg.388]

In Chapter 4 we described the development of the periodic table, some terminology for it, and its guiding principle, the periodic law. [Pg.235]

Now we turn from history to the logical structure of dynamics. First we need to introduce some terminology and make some distinctions. [Pg.6]

Some terminology the phase space for the general system (2) is the space with coordinates x, x . Because this space is n-dimensional, we will refer to (2) as an n-dimensional system or an nth-order system. Thus n represents the dimension of the phase space. [Pg.10]

The majority of industrial catalytic processes involve heterogeneous catalysis and Table 26.6 gives selected examples. Conditions are generally harsh, with high temperatures and pressures. Before describing specific industrial applications, we introduce some terminology and discuss the properties of metal surfaces and zeohtes that render them useful as heterogeneous catalysts. [Pg.799]

Amino acids, peptides and proteins some terminology... [Pg.830]

It is necessary to introduce some terminology here. When the radiation-sensitive components of resists— the resins and components—are irradiated, they can absorb the energy and in turn get excited. It is the excited-state form of the radiation-sensitive components of the resist that plays the central role in these processes. These excited states of the molecules are identified by their multiplicity (the overall spin of the electrons in that state), by their molecular orbital character (indicating the involvement of tt, n, cr, or other orbitals in the excitation process), and by their energy in relation to the energy of the ground state. The relevant excited states of a molecule include the singlet 5i and triplet Tj, and are typically... [Pg.395]
