Element-specific radii

Although not necessarily related to the central COSMO idea, the COSMO implementations have a special efficient way of cavity construction, which is illustrated schematically in Figure 1. The cavity is assumed to be a kind of SES. To construct this surface, in a first step the SAS is built as the exterior of all spheres of radius R, -F / soiv, where the / , are the radii of the atoms, usually defined as element specific radii, and Rsoiv is some radius representing a typical maximum curvature of solvent molecular surfaces.The default for Rsoiv is set to 1 A, and this has turned out to be a good choice for a great variety of solvents. R oiv should not be misinterpreted as a mean solvent radius, nor modified for different solvents. All spheres are... 

This classification of metal ions is based on the biological and chemical availability to organisms as a function of their binding preferences. This classification take into account the atomic weight of the element, specific gravity, ionic radius, thermodynamic equilibrium constant and metal ion electronegativity. ... 

Figure 9.5a shows a portion of a cylindrical capillary of radius R and length 1. We measure the general distance from the center axis of the liquid in the capillary in terms of the variable r and consider specifically the cylindrical shell of thickness dr designated by the broken line in Fig. 9.5a. In general, gravitational, pressure, and viscous forces act on such a volume element, with the viscous forces depending on the velocity gradient in the liquid. Our first task, then, is to examine how the velocity of flow in a cylindrical shell such as this varies with the radius of the shell.

The high-temperature contribution of vibrational modes to the molar heat capacity of a solid at constant volume is R for each mode of vibrational motion. Hence, for an atomic solid, the molar heat capacity at constant volume is approximately 3/. (a) The specific heat capacity of a certain atomic solid is 0.392 J-K 1 -g. The chloride of this element (XC12) is 52.7% chlorine by mass. Identify the element, (b) This element crystallizes in a face-centered cubic unit cell and its atomic radius is 128 pm. What is the density of this atomic solid ... 

The fundamental reason for the uneven distribution of reactions is that the rate of electrochemical reactions on a semiconductor is sensitive to the radius of curvature of the surface. This sensitivity can either be associated with the thickness of the space charge layer or the resistance of the substrate. Thus, when the rate of the dissolution reactions depends on the thickness of the space charge layer, formation of pores can in principle occur on a semiconductor electrode. The specific porous structures are determined by the spatial and temporal distributions of reactions and their rates which are affected by the geometric elements in the system. Because of the intricate relations among the kinetic factors and geometric elements, the detail features of PS morphology and the mechanisms for their formation are complex and greatly vary with experimental conditions. 

For an isotropic tortuosity in three dimensions, = 1/3. 0 is the Heaviside step-function that accounts for the existence of a percolation fhreshold, A in the water-permeating network. A can be obtained from the specific law of swelling established for the membrane under consideration, as discussed in Section 6.7.4. The mean square radius of pores that contribute to the water flow in a local volume element with water content A is... 

The Molecular Surface (MS) first introduced by Richards (19) was chosen as the 3D space where the MLP will be calculated. MS specifically refers to a molecular envelope accessible by a solvent molecule. Unlike the solvent accessible surface (20), which is defined by the center of a spherical probe as it is rolled over a molecule, the MS (19), or Connolly surface (21) is traced by the inwardfacing surface of the spherical probe (Fig. 2). The MS consists of three types of faces, namely contact, saddle, and concave reentrant, where the spherical probe touches molecule atoms at one, two, or three points, simultaneously. Calculation of molecular properties on the MS and integration of a function over the MS require a numerical representation of the MS as a manifold S(Mk, nk, dsk), where Mk, nk, dsk are, respectively, the coordinates, the normal vector, and the area of a small element of the MS. Among the published computational methods for a triangulated MS (22,23), the method proposed by Connolly (21,24) was used because it provides a numerical presentation of the MS as a collection of dot coordinates and outward normal vectors. In order to build the 3D-logP descriptor independent from the calculation parameters of the MS, the precision of the MS area computation was first estimated as a function of the point density and the probe radius parameters. When varying... 

One of the many periodic properties of the elements that can be explained by electron configurations is size, or atomic radius. You might wonder, though, how we can talk about a definite "size" for an atom, having said in Section 5.8 that the electron clouds around atoms have no specific boundaries. What s usually done is to define an atom s radius as being half the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms when they are bonded together. In the Cl2 molecule, for example, the distance between the two chlorine nuclei is 198 pm in diamond (elemental carbon), the distance between two carbon nuclei is 154 pm. Thus, we say that the atomic radius of chlorine is half the Cl-Cl distance, or 99 pm, and the atomic radius of carbon is half the C-C distance, or 77 pm. 

Although the ionic radius criterion of Goldschmidt continues to serve as a useful principle of crystal chemistry, attention has been drawn to limitations of it (Bums and Fyfe, 1967b Bums, 1973). As noted earlier, the magnitude of the ionic radius and the concept of radius ratio (i.e. cation radius/anion radius) has proven to be a valuable guide for determining whether an ion may occupy a specific coordination site in a crystal structure. However, subtle differences between ionic radii are often appealed to in interpretations of trace element distributions during mineral formation. 

In the present paper we extend our analysis of the experimental results obtained from this small deformation regime and we show that the result found by Reissner for the deformation of shallow spherical caps represents an excellent analytical approximation for the interpretation of the measurements. This result is varified by finite element modelling (FEM) and by experimental variation of the force probe geometry and radius as well as wall thickness of the studied capsules. This result is also applicable for other capsule deformation measurements, since it is independent of the specific Young s modulus. Furthermore, we report on speed dependent measurements that indicate the glassy nature of PAH/PSS multilayers. 

Now consider a thin cylindrical shell element of thickness Ar in a long cylinder, as shown in Fig, 2-15. Assume the density of the cylinder is p, the specific heat is c, and the length is /,. The area of the cylinder normal to the direction of heat transfer at any location is A = iTrrL where r is the value of the radius at that location. Note that the heat transfer area A depends on r in this case, and thus it varies with location. An energy balance on this thin cylindrical shell element during a small time interval At can be expressed as... 

No. If all you know is that the atomic number of one element is 20 greater than that of the other, then you will be unable to determine the specific groups and periods that the elements are in. Without this information, you cannot apply the periodic trends in atomic size to determine which element has the larger radius.
