Model a is the constant-capacitance model, which may be used in analogy to the constant ionic medium approach in aqueous chemistry Restriction to one value of high ionic strength (in terms of composition and concentration of the electrolyte) assures constancy of activity coefficients of aqueous species and a model of the sohd-hquid interface, which is sufficiently described by a compact layer. It is assumed that the drop in potential in the inner part of the electric double layer at the high electrolyte concentrations is quite extensive so that the difluse part can be completely neglected. 

Between 1770 and 1840 inorganic and organic chemistry had, under the influence of men such as Lavoisier, Berzelius, Liebig, Wohler, Dalton, Avogadro, Davy and others, achieved the form which they still have at present though enormously further developed This chemistry restricted itself, however, in the main to substances which could be studied in the vaoour state or in solution and which in the solid state... 

The definition above is a particularly restrictive description of a nanocrystal, and necessarily limits die focus of diis brief review to studies of nanocrystals which are of relevance to chemical physics. Many nanoparticles, particularly oxides, prepared dirough die sol-gel niediod are not included in diis discussion as dieir internal stmcture is amorjihous and hydrated. Neverdieless, diey are important nanoniaterials several textbooks deal widi dieir syndiesis and properties [4, 5]. The material science community has also contributed to die general area of nanocrystals however, for most of dieir applications it is not necessary to prepare fully isolated nanocrystals widi well defined surface chemistry. A good discussion of die goals and progress can be found in references [6, 7, 8 and 9]. Finally, diere is a rich history in gas-phase chemical physics of die study of clusters and size-dependent evaluations of dieir behaviour. This topic is not addressed here, but covered instead in chapter C1.1, Clusters and nanoscale stmctures, in diis same volume. 

Silver has little tendency to formally lose more than one electron its chemistry is therefore almost entirely restricted to the + 1 oxidation state. Silver itself is resistant to chemical attack, though aqueous cyanide ion slowly attacks it, as does sulphur or a sulphide (to give black Ag S). hence the tarnishing of silver by the atmosphere or other sulphur-containing materials. It dissolves in concentrated nitric acid to give a solution of silver(I) nitrate. AgNOj. 

ThIS pari describes the essentials of IlyperCdieni s theoretical and compiitaiion al chemistry or how IlyperCheni performs chemical calculations that yon request from the Setup and Compute menus. While it has pedagogical value, it isnot a textbook of computational chemistry the discussions are restricted to topics ol imme-diate relevance to IlyperChem only. Xeveriheless, yon can learn much about computational chemistry by reading this manual while using IlyperChem. 

Throughout this discussion we have used the numerical fraction of molecules in a class as the weighting factor for that portion of the population. This restriction is not necessary some other weighting factor could be used equally well. As a matter of fact, one important type of average encountered in polymer chemistry is the case where the mass fraction of the ith component is used as the weighting factor. Defining the mass of material in the ith class as mj, we write... 

Fluorine was first produced commercially ca 50 years after its discovery. In the intervening period, fluorine chemistry was restricted to the development of various types of electrolytic cells on a laboratory scale. In World War 11, the demand for uranium hexafluoride [7783-81-5] UF, in the United States and United Kingdom, and chlorine trifluoride [7790-91 -2J, CIF, in Germany, led to the development of commercial fluorine-generating cells. The main use of fluorine in the 1990s is in the production of UF for the nuclear power industry (see Nuclearreactors). However, its use in the preparation of some specialty products and in the surface treatment of polymers is growing. 

Interfacial Forces. Neighboring bubbles in a foam interact through a variety of forces which depend on the composition and thickness of Hquid between them, and on the physical chemistry of their Hquid—vapor interfaces. For a foam to be relatively stable, the net interaction must be sufficiently repulsive at short distances to maintain a significant layer of Hquid in between neighboring bubbles. Otherwise two bubbles could approach so closely as to expel all the Hquid and fuse into one larger bubble. Repulsive interactions typically become important only for bubble separations smaller than a few hundredths of a micrometer, a length small in comparison with typical bubble sizes. Thus attention can be restricted to the vapor—Hquid—vapor film stmcture formed between neighboring bubbles, and this stmcture can be considered essentially flat.

At about the same time a thorough study was undertaken by the Department of Agriculture to determine which dyes, if any, were safe for use in foods and what restrictions should be placed on thek use. This monumental task eventually included a study of the chemistry and physiology of the then nearly 700 extant coal-tar dyes as well as the laws of various countries and states regarding thek use in food products. Most of this investigation was done under the guidance of Dr. Bernard C. Hesse, a German dye expert (17). 

Although polyacetylene has served as an excellent prototype for understanding the chemistry and physics of electrical conductivity in organic polymers, its instabiUty in both the neutral and doped forms precludes any useful appHcation. In contrast to poly acetylene, both polyaniline and polypyrrole are significantly more stable as electrical conductors. When addressing polymer stabiUty it is necessary to know the environmental conditions to which it will be exposed these conditions can vary quite widely. For example, many of the electrode appHcations require long-term chemical and electrochemical stabihty at room temperature while the polymer is immersed in electrolyte. Aerospace appHcations, on the other hand, can have quite severe stabiHty restrictions with testing carried out at elevated temperatures and humidities. 

Water chemistry and operating changes were suggested but were deemed inadvisable because of legal restrictions concerning discharge of chemicals into local waters. 

An example of a journal hovering between broad and narrow spectrum is Journal of Alloys and Compounds, subtitled an interdiciplinary journal of materials science and solid-state chemistry and physics. One which is more restrictively focused is Journal of Nuclear Materials (which I edited for its first 25 years). Ceramics has a range of journals, of which the most substantial is Journal of the American Ceramic Society. Ceramics International is an example of an international journal in the field, while Journal of the European Ceramic Society is a rather unusual instance of a periodical with a continental remit. More specialised journals include Solid State Ionics Diffusion and Reactions, and a new Journal of Electroceramics, started in 1997.

Shock-compressed solids and shock-compression processes have been described in this book from a perspective of solid state physics and solid state chemistry. This viewpoint has been developed independently from the traditional emphasis on mechanical deformation as determined from measurements of shock and particle velocities, or from time-resolved wave profiles. The physical and chemical studies show that the mechanical descriptions provide an overly restrictive basis for identifying and quantifying shock processes in solids. These equations of state or strength investigations are certainly necessary to the description of shock-compressed matter, and are of great value, but they are not sufficient to develop a fundamental understanding of the processes. 

It is of special interest for many applications to consider adsorption of fiuids in matrices in the framework of models which include electrostatic forces. These systems are relevant, for example, to colloidal chemistry. On the other hand, electrodes made of specially treated carbon particles and impregnated by electrolyte solutions are very promising devices for practical applications. Only a few attempts have been undertaken to solve models with electrostatic forces, those have been restricted, moreover, to ionic fiuids with Coulomb interactions. We would hke to mention in advance that it is clear, at present, how to obtain the structural properties of ionic fiuids adsorbed in disordered charged matrices. Other systems with higher-order multipole interactions have not been studied so far. Thermodynamics of these systems, and, in particular, peculiarities of phase transitions, is the issue which is practically unsolved, in spite of its great importance. This part of our chapter is based on recent works from our laboratory [37,38].
