Results 141–150 of 269 for elektron

MOSFET → MOSFET

MOSFET (metal oxide field effect transistor) is a semiconductor device which can be used as an ion selective electrode.

negative pole → negativan pol

Negative pole is that half-cell in electrochemical cell that has the most negative electrode potential.

nucleophile → nukleofil

Nucleophiles are negatively charged or bear a partial negative charge. Examples are lone pairs or a hydroxide ion.

electrogravimetry → electrogravimetrija

Electrogravimetry is an electroanalytical technique in which the substance to be determined (usually a metal) is deposited out on an electrode which is weighed before and after the experiment. The potential of the electrode must be carefully chosen to ensure that only the metal do be determined will deposit.

octet → oktet

Octet is scientific law stating that all atoms, except those of hydrogen and helium, require eight electrons in the outermost energy level to maintain chemical stability.

ohm → om

Ohm (Ω) is the SI derived unit of electric resistance. The ohm is the electric resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant difference of potential of one volt, applied between these two points, produces in this conductor a current of one ampere, this conductor not being the source of electromotive force (Ω = V/A). The unit was named after the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854).

overpotential → prenapon

Overpotential (η) is a potential that must be applied in an electrolytic cell in addition to the theoretical potential required to liberate a given substance at an electrode. The value depends on the electrode material and on the current density.

oxidating agent → oksidans

Oxidating agent is a substance that receives electrons and oxidates other substances. Oxidating agent is always reduced in this reaction.

Pauli exclusion principle → Paulijev princip zabrane

Pauli exclusion principle is the statement that two electrons in an atom cannot have identical all four quantum numbers. It was first formulated in 1925 by the Austrian-born Swiss physicst Wolfgang Ernst Pauli (1900-1958).

Pauling scale → Paulingova skala

Pauling scale is a numerical scale of electronegativities based on bond-energy calculations for different elements joined by covalent bonds. Electronegativity is the power of an atom when in a molecule to attract eletrons to itself. Fluorine is the most electronegative element with a Pauling electronegativity value of 4.
