Comparing Geometries

Comparing the results obtained by the WKB method with the exact solutions for the planar and spherical surface, we find, within 2% error, quantitative agreement in the planar case. For a sphere, we find the same asymptotic dependence of Tc on k in the limit Ka C 1 and Ka 1 for both approaches. Quantitatively, the results deviate somewhat for Ka 1. Hence, the WKB method is a very valuable approach for studying critical adsorption behavior for a wide range of geometries. The main advantage of the WKB method is a unified approach for the various geometries based on the same level of approximations. It can be applied at the same level of complexity to virtually any shape of the polylectrolyte-surface adsorption potential. Recent advances in polyelectrolyte adsorption under confinement [49,167] and adsorption onto low-dielectric interfaces [50] have been presented. 

It is also interesting to note that such a regular decrease in the power of k resembles the change in the laws of electrostatic repulsion between the particles of corresponding geometry in simple-salt solutions. Namely, at large interparticle separations R,kR , two uniformly charged planes, cylinders, or spheres repel

Compare geometries of the cis and trans cycloalkenes. Are the double bonds incorporated into the trans compounds significantly more distorted than those incorporated into the analogous cis cycloalkenes Consider carbon-carbon bond lengths and the twisting and/ or puckering of the double bond. Are any distortions greater in trans-cycloheptene than in trans-cyclooctene ...

In order to predict the structure of the product, you must identify the factors that will tend to favor selective ketal formation. Consider selective carbonyl protonation first. Obtain energies and atomic charges, and display electrostatic potential maps of the alternative protonated ketones (protonated ketone A, protonated ketone B). Identify the more stable isomer. Compare geometries and draw whatever Lewis structures are needed to account for your data. Why is one isomer more stable than the other Is the more stable isomer also that in which the positive charge is better delocalized Will the more stable isomer undergo nucleophilic attack more or less easily than the other Explain.

Two molecules with comparable geometry in an asymmetric unit were found for 3,4-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-l,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxide. The bond length of the dipolar N-O bond is 1.107 (7) A <2006AXEo4827>. In the molecule of 5-(6,7-dimethoxy-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)-4-phenyl-l,2,5-oxadiazole Ar-oxide, the six-membered heterocyclic ring has a flattened boat form. Intermolecular C-H- O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into dimers, which may be effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure <2006AXEo3130>. 

Identify which protonation reaction (alkene A —> protonated alkene A, alkene B —>protonated alkene B) is more favorable. The energy of proton is given at right. Compare geometries of the two alkenes. Which is more strained Why How is this likely to affect the proton affinity Compare electrostatic potential maps for the two alkenes. Is the n bond in one more susceptable to protonation than that in the other Compare maps for the two protonated forms. Is the charge in one more delocalized than that in the other Suggest an explanation to account for both the reactivity difference and the structural changes.

Simulated annealing refinement can produce R values in the twenties for partially incorrect structures. For example, after refinement of the protease from human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 a partially incorrect structure [65] produced an R value of 0.25 whereas the correct structure produced a R value of 0.184 [66] with comparable geometry.

Because of the large number of parameters that come into play in cavitation corrosion, the interpretation of the results obtained in the laboratory and their application to the design of technical installations poses many problems. The cavitation number Nj is often used to compare cavitation conditions among experimental configurations of comparable geometry. The cavitation number expresses the ratio between the pressure difference AP = P - P p, and the kinetic energy = (l/2)pv of the fluid.
