The central role of the concept of polarity in chemistry arises from the electrical nature of matter. In the context of solution chemistry, solvent polarity is the ability of a solvent to stabilize (by solvation) charges or dipoles. " We have already seen that the physical quantities e (dielectric constant) and p (dipole moment) are quantitative measures of properties that must be related to the qualitative concept of... [Pg.399]

In spite of the coincidences shown above it is doubtful if there is any connection between odour and electrical charge. Heller discards the view that odour is of an electrical nature and criticises very severely an electronic theory put forward by Tudat. ... [Pg.26]

Thus we find great variation among solutions. Iodine dissolves in ethyl alcohol, coloring the liquid brown, but does not dissolve readily in water. Sodium chloride does not dissolve readily in ethyl alcohol but does dissolve in water, forming a solution that conducts electric current. Sugar dissolves readily both in ethyl alcohol and in water, but neither solution conducts electric current. These differences are very important to the chemist, and variations in electrical conductivity are among the most important. We shall investigate electrical conductivity further but, first, we need to explore the electrical nature of matter. [Pg.74]

Electrochemistry deals with the nature of electrolytes and with the processes at electrodes which are in contact with electrolytes. Generally speaking chemistry is electrochemistry as interactions in the atomic scale are of electrical nature. [Pg.399]

Early in the century the amount of energy output in the form of food was about equal to the commercial energy input to the crop and livestock. That was before electricity, natural gas, and petroleum products were available to the farm. Now at least 10 kcal of commercial energy is used for each kcal of food energy produced. This change has occurred as a result of mechanization, irrigation, and consumer demand for low fat foods and for precooked and prepared foods. [Pg.333]

Newspaper headlines almost routinely announce mergers and acquisitions of electricity, natural gas and telecommunications companies, the shedding of generation assets, and new ventures in non-energy businesses - known as convergence. ... [Pg.53]

We have found Prof Harry Jones The Electrical Nature of Matter and Radioactivity (1906), Mr. Noddy s Radioactivity 904), and Mr. Whetham s The Recent Development of Physical Science (1909) particularly interesting. Mention, of course, should also be made of the standard works of Prof Sir J. J. Thomson and Prof Rutherford. [Pg.87]

Such repeats are often included as junk. Again, the so-called junk in our genome may not be junk but rather part of a complex of shape and electrical nature that forms the basis for the chemistries of the various polymeric molecules. [Pg.340]

Of course, electrochemical systems can be perturbed in a large number of ways, e.g. pressure and temperature variation and the application of a time-dependent illumination leading to responses that are of an electrical nature (current or voltage). The discussions to follow will be restricted to electrical perturbations leading to responses that are also electrical. [Pg.214]

As for the anode process at comparable conditions, the yield of 2,5-dimethoxy nitro benzene depends distinctly on the electrical nature of the micelle. Namely, the yields are equal to 30% for the positively charged micelle, 40% for the negatively charged micelle, and 70% for the neutral charged micelle. The observed micellar effect corroborates the mechanism, including the dimethoxy benzene cation radical and the nitrogen dioxide radical as reacting species. [Pg.256]
