Frequently, during the experimental realization of a synthetic plan, certain functional groups will interfere with the performance of desired reactions. When this happens, it becomes necessary to protect the offending group (reversibly modify it to some other functionality that is stable to the reaction conditions). The extension of computer assisted synthetic analysis to sophisticated levels necessitates the detection of possible interferences. Such situations must be presented to the chemist in a generally useful manner.

Chemists are satisfied how atoms of the different elements could form from the initial enormous energy of the big bang explosion, without, however, the need to concern themselves with the reason for its origin. Atoms subsequently can combine into molecules, which in turn build increasingly complex systems and materials, including those of the living systems. This is the area of interest for chemists. 

Asimple example is the formation of the hydrogen molecule from two hydrogen atoms. Here the original atomic energy levels are degenerate (they have equal energy), but as the two atoms approach each other, they interact to form two non degenerate molecular orbitals, the lowest of which is doubly occupied. 

The description of the atomic distribution in noncrystalline materials employs a distribution function, (r), which corresponds to the probability of finding another atom at a distance r from the origin atom taken as the point r = 0. In a system having an average number density p = N/V, the probability of finding another atom at a distance r from an origin atom corresponds to Pq ( ). Whereas the information given by (r), which is called the pair distribution function, is only one-dimensional, it is quantitative information on the noncrystalline systems and as such is one of the most important pieces of information in the study of noncrystalline materials. The interatomic distances cannot be smaller than the atomic core diameters, so = 0. 

Many molecules contain atoms or groups that appear to be equivalent but at close inspection are actually different. We can test whether two atoms are equivalent by replacing each of them in turn with some other atom or group. If the new molecules created by this process are identical, the original atoms are equivalent otherwise not. We can distinguish three cases. 

In a molecule, the presence of charges is the result of the formation of bonds that cause an electron flow from the original atoms to the new bonded atoms, and thus... 

The decay of radiocarbon (see Fig. 61) into nitrogen-14 proceeds at a constant rate, and its half-life is 5730 + 40 years (see Textbox 14). This means that in any material containing carbon, some radiocarbon atoms disintegrate before 5730 years have elapsed and others later after 5730 + 40 years have elapsed, however, only half of the original atoms of the carbon-14... 

When the atoms have come sufficiently close together, it can be shown that their two atomic orbitals are replaced by two molecular orbitals, one being at a lower, and the other at a higher, energy level than the two original atomic orbitals. These two new molecular orbitals spread over both atoms and either may contain the two electrons (Fig. 1.1) ... 

In his 1933 paper on "tautomerism," Ingold began discussion with references to the physics of the electron, citing a 1923 paper by J. J. Thomson and a recent book by John H. Van Vleck.62 He noted Lewis s contributions (1923) to the notion of inductive effect ( ) in which electrons remain bound by their original atomic nuclei Lowry (1923) to the notion of electromeric effect, in which there is a displacement of a duplet, shifting from one pair of atoms to... 

What makes chemistry so interesting is that each specific chemical element is related to its own kind of atom. Elements with specific characteristics have unique atoms. Each type of atom is unique to that element. If you change the basic structure of an atom, you change the structure and properties of the element related to that atom. Also of interest is what happens when two or more different atoms combine to form a molecule of a new substance. Once they form a molecule of a new compound, the original atoms no longer exhibit their original properties. 

If X or Y is a trigonal center in a double bond, then the selection of the preferred substituent requires application of the standard duplicate atom procedure. Of course, the magnitude of the torsional angle is defined by the original atom (examples 5, 6). 

The interaction of molecular orbitals of the same symmetry has important consequences for all systems where it occurs, and more examples will be referred to in later chapters. It is possible to carry out the mixing of the original atomic orbitals (known as hybridization) before the molecular orbitals are formed. Some examples of this approach are included in later chapters. Both approaches give the same eventual result for the contributions of atomic orbitals to the molecular ones. 

Another interesting fact about the size of atoms is that atoms that have lost an electron are smaller than the original atom, while atoms that have gained an electron are larger than the original atom. 

Hence, both the z th row of R and the zth row of describe the sample z the z th row of R contains the measured values of the J original variables, whereas the z th row of T contains the coordinates of this sample in this new variable system. The number of columns in T is usually much smaller than the number of columns in R (A J), hence the scores are a compressed version (i.e. smaller number of variables) of the data in R. Hence, by retaining only A factors, Ra = TaPa is an approximate reproduction of the original atomic spectra, R, with a lower mathematical rank. It is assumed that TaPa describes non-random sources of variation in R caused by changes in chemistry and is related to the constituents of interest, while E contains information which is not important for predicting concentration such as random noise.
