reaction in which neutral molecules bond to a central metal atom by coordinate covalent bonds. A coordinate covalent bond is a covalent bond in which one atom supplies both electrons. Ligands are atoms or molecules with electron pairs available‚ and they may be neutral or negatively charged. Ligands are usually thought of as electron donors attracted to the metal at the center of the complex. Isomers are different compounds with the same molecular formula. Also‚ isomers can be recognized into two groups;

Hird1 & Seth J. Putterman1 Relative motion between two contacting surfaces can produce visible light‚ called triboluminescence1. This concentration of diffuse mechanical energy into electromagnetic radiation has previously been observed to extend even to X-ray energies2. Here we report that peeling

certain previously perplexing phenomena. Foremost among them was the photoelectric effect: the ejection of electrons from a metal when irradiated by light. The wave theory of light could not yield a suitable account of this‚ since the energy of a wave is spread over its entire surface. Light quanta‚ on the other hand‚ acting like little particles‚ could easily eject electrons‚ since the electron absorbs the entire quantum of energy on impact. Einstein used his statistical mechanics to demonstrate that

non-polar liquids only. Introduction Ionic solids form as a result of the chemical reaction between metals and non-metals. Atoms that become positively charged by losing electrons are called cation; atoms that become negatively charge by gaining electrons are called anion. During the formation of ionic solids‚ a few electrons from the metals are transferred completely to the non-metals. The attraction between ions of opposite charge is what virtually holds the particles in ionic solids together

Absorption Spectra of Conjugated Dyes 04-21-2103 Introduction: The visible absorption bands or conjugated dye arise from electron transitions involving the electrons in the conjugated and they are free to move along the chain and are not attached to any atom. An example of such a dye is 3‚3-diethyl-thiacyanine iodide. The cation has two resonance forms causing each of the bonds in the conjugated chain to have an order of 1.5 and have a length similar to the C--‐C bond length in benzene

learn more about them. I learned that neutrinos are subatomic particles with a zero charges and very little mass. There are three types of neutrinos: electron‚ muon and tau. The idea that neutrinos exist was proposed by Wolfgang Pauli. He proposed that there were more than two particles involved in an explosion‚ that along with protons and electrons‚ that a third‚ the neutron‚ was also involved. He stated that energy and momentum did not seem to be conserved in radioactive decays. Pauli proposed

Unit C2‚ C2.2.3 Covalent structures 1. This drill contains an electric motor. The diagram below shows the main parts of an electric motor. The carbon contacts are made of graphite. Springs push the contacts against the copper ring. The contacts conduct electricity to the copper ring. The copper ring rotates rapidly but does not stick or become worn because the graphite is soft and slippery. Graphite has properties which are ideal for making the contacts in an electric motor.
