Factors influencing work function

The work function is influenced by several factors. On a clean surface in vacuum, the coordination number of the surface atoms or molecules is lower and the electron density leaks out from the lattice of positive ion cores to vacuum electron... 

Close relationship is established in paper [5] between change of conductivity of water and solar activity. On their opinion such relation might be reason for correlation of solar activity and various processes in biosphere. However, the authors have not discovered in their paper how the Sun can influence via water. Method of electrochemical analysis used by the authors has shown high sensitivity to mild external factors. Electrochemical contact is the area in which main electrochemical processes take place. Many of electrochemical characteristics such as electronic work function, zero charge potential, electrode potential and others are connected to this concept. Effect of material s nature and specific character... 

A number of factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction. The concentration of reactants present is one critical factor, and the experimental determination of this effect results in an expression referred to as the rate law. We can work with rate laws in either of two forms the differential rate law and the integrated rate law. The differential rate law tells us the rate if we know the appropriate concentrations, whereas the integrated rate law predicts the concentration of a reactant as a function of time.
