Sticking reactive

No dynamite cap, for instance, should ever be built using copper tubing, brass or copper cartridge cases, or metallic tamp sticks. Reactive salts within the peroxide-based primer mixture can easily cause unwanted chemical reactions with the metal. In an absolute emergency when nothing else is available, copper tubing can be used for cap cases, but only if these caps ore deployed in a day or two at most. After two weeks... 

Thermodynamic properties such as heats of reaction and heats of formation can be computed mote rehably by ab initio theory than by semiempirical MO methods (55). However, the Hterature of the method appropriate to the study should be carefully checked before a technique is selected. Finally, the role of computer graphics in evaluating quantum mechanical properties should not be overlooked. As seen in Figures 2—6, significant information can be conveyed with stick models or various surfaces with charge properties mapped onto them. Additionally, information about orbitals, such as the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), which ate important sites of reactivity in electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions, can be plotted readily. Figure 7 shows representations of the HOMO and LUMO, respectively, for the antiulcer dmg Zantac. 

A molecule is a three-dimensional array of atoms. In fact, many of a molecule s properties, such as its odor and chemical reactivity, depend on its three-dimensional shape. Although molecular and structural formulas describe the composition of a molecule, they do not represent the molecule s shape. To provide information about shapes, chemists frequently use ball-and-stick models or space-filling models. 

Methane is a stable molecule and therefore hard to activate. As a result the sticking probability for dissociative chemisorption is small, of the order of 10 only, and ruthenium is more reactive than nickel. However, a stretched overlayer of nickel is significantly more active than nickel in its common form, in agreement with expectation.

The decomposition of acetic acid was studied by TRPS in order to determine the similarities of its surface reactivity to formic acid. Reactions on Fe(100) (95), Ni(llO) 118), and Cu/Ni(110) (100) alloys were studied. On Ni(l 10) acetic acid adsorbed at 300 K with a sticking probability near unity to form the anhydride intermediate and release HjO. The decomposition of this intermediate proceeded by the two-dimensional autocatalytic process observed for formic acid to yield CO2,, CO, and surface carbon. The rate...

Adsorption and reaction of NO2. In contrast to the lack of reactivity of CO2 on the clean Au(lll) surface, NO2 is molecularly chemisorbed via its two oxygen atoms on clean Au(lll) at temperatures of 175 K and below to form a 0,0 -nitrito surface chelate with C2v symmetry (12). The NO2 sticking...
