O What is meant by the term chemical property Provide two examples of a chemical change. 

Chemicals discharged into the environment may be found in various compartments air, water, soil, and biota. Attempts to define "environmental concentrations must take into account the properties of the chemicals and the system variables. Considering this, it would be of value to characterize chemical transport and distribution in terms of system parameters. Physical and chemical properties provide one criterion for determining the relative distribution of the chemi-... 

Labeling is usually performed by the formation of a covalent bond between the fluorescent label and the target molecule. However, fluorescent dyes without a reactive group can be employed for some purposes. Due to their particular structural nature, fluorescent probes can bind noncovalently to special biomolecules in cells in a specific or a nonspecific fashion. In this case, the term stain is used to refer to the label and staining to the noncovalent attachment of the label to the studied object. There are a large number of fluorescent dyes that bind to DNA and RNA forming complexes via intercalation. Intercalating dyes are planar aromatic cations that insert between stacked base pairs on the DNA duplex. Their structure and chemical properties provide appropriate size and van der Waals interactions favorable for insertion between bases. 

The range of structural and chemical properties provided by the many conversion coating processes is reflected in the functionality of conversion coated surfaces. In broad terms, conversion coatings offer surface passivation increased adhesion to paints or structural materials and improved tribological performance. Commonly found substrate-coating combinations are given in Table 1. ... 

Biopolymers are an essential element in improving human health and quality of life. The wide spectrum of physical, mechanical, and chemical properties provided by polymers has increased the extensive research, development, and applications of polymeric biomaterials. The significance of polymers as biomaterials is reflected in the market of medical polymers, estimated to be approximately 1 billion. Many of these polymers were initially developed as plastics, elastomers, and fibers for nonmedical industrial applications. However, they were later developed as biomedical-specific materials. Currently, with rapid growth in modern biology and interdisciplinary collaborative research, polymeric biomaterials are being widely used in pharmaceutical technology with excellent biocompatibility [33]. 

One way to describe this situation is to say that the colligative properties provide a method for counting the number of solute molecules in a solution. In these ideal solutions this is done without regard to the chemical identity of the species. Therefore if the solute consists of several different components which we index i, then nj = S nj j is the number of moles counted. Of course, the total mass of solute in this case is given by mj = Sjnj jMj j, so the molecular weight obtained for such a mixture is given by...

Primary and Secondary Structure. The DNA double helix was first identified by Watson and Crick in 1953 (4). Not only was the Watson-Crick model consistent with the known physical and chemical properties of DNA, but it also suggested how genetic information could be organized and rephcated, thus providing a foundation for modem molecular biology. 

Chemical Properties. Higher a-olefins are exceedingly reactive because their double bond provides the reactive site for catalytic activation as well as numerous radical and ionic reactions. These olefins also participate in additional reactions, such as oxidations, hydrogenation, double-bond isomerization, complex formation with transition-metal derivatives, polymerization, and copolymerization with other olefins in the presence of Ziegler-Natta, metallocene, and cationic catalysts. All olefins readily form peroxides by exposure to air. 

Model Reactions. Independent measurements of interfacial areas are difficult to obtain in Hquid—gas, Hquid—Hquid, and Hquid—soHd—gas systems. Correlations developed from studies of nonreacting systems maybe satisfactory. Comparisons of reaction rates in reactors of known small interfacial areas, such as falling-film reactors, with the reaction rates in reactors of large but undefined areas can provide an effective measure of such surface areas. Another method is substitution of a model reaction whose kinetics are well estabUshed and where the physical and chemical properties of reactants are similar and limiting mechanisms are comparable. The main advantage of employing a model reaction is the use of easily processed reactants, less severe operating conditions, and simpler equipment. 

Sampling is the operation of removing a portion from a bulk material for analysis in such a way that the portion removed has representative physical and chemical properties of that bulk material. From a statistical point of view, sampling is expected to provide analytical data from which some property of the material may be determined. These data should have known and controlled errors and be produced at low cost. 

The level of technical service support provided for a given product generally tracks in large part where the suppHer considers thek product to be located within the spectmm of commodity to specialty chemicals. Technical service support levels for pure chemicals usually provided in large quantities for specific synthetic or processing needs, eg, ammonia (qv), sulfuric acid (see SuLFURic ACID AND SULFURTRIOXIDe), formaldehyde (qv), oxygen (qv), and so forth, are considerably less than for more complex materials or blends of materials provided for multistep downstream processes. Examples of the latter are many polymers, colorants, flocculants, impact modifiers, associative thickeners, etc. For the former materials, providing specifications of purity and physical properties often comprises the full extent of technical service requked or expected by customers. These materials are termed undifferentiated chemicals (9),...

Levels of stabiUty vary greatly and are impacted by acid or base strength, light iatensity, etc. 

Functional polyethylene waxes provide both the physical properties obtained by the high molecular weight polyethylene wax and the chemical properties of an oxidised product, or one derived from a fatty alcohol or acid. The functional groups improve adhesion to polar substrates, compatibHity with polar materials, and dispersibHity into water. Uses include additives for inks and coatings, pigment dispersions, plastics, cosmetics, toners, and adhesives. 

The unique nature of the electronic configuration of copper, which contributes to its high electrical and heat conductivity, also provides chemical properties intermediate between transition and 18-sheU elements. Copper can give up the 4s electron to form the copper(I) ion [17493-86-6] or release an additional electron from the >d orbitals to form the copper(Il) ion [15158-11-9]. 

Alumina is used because it is relatively inert and provides the high surface area needed to efftciendy disperse the expensive active catalytic components. However, no one alumina phase possesses the thermal, physical, and chemical properties ideal for the perfect activated coating layer. A great deal of research has been carried out in search of modifications that can make one or more of the alumina crystalline phases more suitable. Eor instance, components such as ceria, baria, lanthana, or 2irconia are added to enhance the thermal characteristics of the alumina. Eigure 6 shows the thermal performance of an alumina-activated coating material. 

In photoluminescence one measures physical and chemical properties of materials by using photons to induce excited electronic states in the material system and analyzing the optical emission as these states relax. Typically, light is directed onto the sample for excitation, and the emitted luminescence is collected by a lens and passed through an optical spectrometer onto a photodetector. The spectral distribution and time dependence of the emission are related to electronic transition probabilities within the sample, and can be used to provide qualitative and, sometimes, quantitative information about chemical composition, structure (bonding, disorder, interfaces, quantum wells), impurities, kinetic processes, and energy transfer.
