The Symbolic Distance Effect (SDE) obtained with monkeys (McGonigle Chalmers, 1992), plotted conventionally and also separately from the slow and the fast end-points of the series.

We now define the effect of a translational synnnetry operation on a fiinction. Figure Al.4.3 shows how a PHg molecule is displaced a distance A X along the X axis by the translational symmetry operation that changes Xq to X = Xq -1- A X. Together with the molecule, we have drawn a sine wave symbolizing the... 

The symbols in the second column represent the electronic state in particular the first number is the total quantum number of the excited electron. We shall see later that in one case at least the symbol is probably incorrect. The third column gives the wave-number of the lowest oscillational-rotational level, the fourth the effective quantum number, the fifth and sixth the oscillational wave-number and the average intemuclear distance for the lowest oscillational-rotational level. The data for H2+ were obtained by extrapolation, except rQ, which is Burrau s theoretical value (Section Via). 

It is necessary to distinguish among three rate quantities. We use the symbol NA to represent the flux of A, in mol m-2 s-1, through gas and/or liquid film if reaction takes place in the liquid film, NA includes the effect of reaction (loss of A). We use the symbol (—rA), in mol m-2 s 1, to represent the intensive rate of reaction per unit interfacial area. Dimensionally, (—rA) corresponds to NA, but (— rA) and NA are equal only in the two special cases (1) and (2) above. In case (3), they are not equal, because reaction occurs in the bulk liquid (in which there is no flux) as well as in the liquid film. In this case, furthermore, we need to distinguish between the flux of A into the liquid film at the gas-liquid interface, NA(z = 0), and the flux from the liquid film to the bulk liquid, Na(z = 1), where z is the relative distance into the film from the interface these two fluxes differ because of the loss of A by reaction in the liquid film. The third rate quantity is ( rA)int in mol irT3 s-1, the intrinsic rate of reaction per unit volume of liquid in the bulk liquid. ( rA) and (- rA)int are related as shown in equation 9.2-17 below. 

The dipole moment is a fundamental property of a molecule (or any dipole unit) in which two opposite charges are separated by a distance . This entity is commonly measured in debye units (symbolized by D), equal to 3.33564 X 10 coulomb-meters, in SI units). Since the net dipole moment of a molecule is equal to the vectorial sum of the individual bond moments, the dipole moment provides valuable information on the structure and electrical properties of that molecule. The dipole moment can be determined by use of the Debye equation for total polarization. Examples of dipole moments (in the gas phase) are water (1.854 D), ammonia (1.471 D), nitromethane (3.46 D), imidazole (3.8 D), toluene (0.375 D), and pyrimidine (2.334 D). Even symmetrical molecules will have a small, but measurable dipole moment, due to centrifugal distortion effects. Methane " for example, has a value of about 5.4 X 10 D. 

If the structure of the helium atom were exactly described by the symbol la9 and that of neon by 1 a22a 2p these atoms would have spherically symmetrical electron distributions.24 However, the mutual repulsion of the two electrons in the atom causes them to avoid one another the wave function for the atom corresponds to a larger probability for the two electrons to be on opposite sides of the nucleus than on the same side (for the same values of the distances of the two electrons from the nucleus, there is greater probability that the angle described at the nucleus by the vectors to the electrons is greater than 90° than that it is less than 90°). This effect, which is called correla-... 

We have therefore tried to explain the existence of an equilibrium diameter without taking into account AW. As the effective values of the distances between interfaces cannot easily be determined for the matrix (except layered structures), we developed the following approach to overcome this difficulty (for symbols used see text referring to Equations 5-9). 

Note. The Debye length (LD), although not introduced into the present simplified discussion, is a parameter frequently referred to in the gas-sensor literature. It was originally introduced into ionic solution theory and later applied to semiconductor theory where it is especially applicable to semi con -ductor/metal and semiconductor/semiconductor junctions. It is a measure of the distance beyond which the disturbance at the junction has effectively no influence on the electron distribution and therefore closely related to d (see Eq. (4.49)). It is a material parameter given by LD = (j kl /e2(, )12 where cQ is the undisturbed electron concentration, essentially the extrinsic electron concentration in the case of doped n-type tin oxide, and the other symbols have their usual meaning.)... 

Fig.20. Order parameter profiles m(z)=([pA(z)-pB(z)])/([pA(z)+pB(z)]), where pA(z), pB(z) are densities of A-monomers or B-monomers at distance z from the left wall, for LxLx20 films confining a symmetric polymer mixture, polymers being described by the bond fluctuation model with N=32, ab=- aa=- bb=8 and interaction range 6. Four inverse temperatures are shown as indicated. In each case two choices of the linear dimension L parallel to the film are included. While for e/kBT>0.02 differences between L=48 and L=80 are small and only due to statistical errors (which typically are estimated to be of the size of the symbols), data for e/kBT=0.018 clearly suffer from finite size effects. Broken straight lines indicate the values of the bulk order parameters mb in each case [280]. Arrows show the gyration radius and its smallest component in the eigencoordinate system of the gyration tensor [215]. Average volume fraction of occupied sites was chosen as 0.5. From Rouault et al. [56].

Pure Acids and Acidic Solutions. In this exercise, the students are supposed to state the similarities and differences between pure sulfuric acid and the 0.1 molar solution, and to schematically draw the smallest particles in two model beakers (see Fig. 7.4). Correct answers regarding the hydronium ions and sulfate ions in dilute solutions can be found in only 10% of the answers or model drawings. Approximately 45% of the answers approach it from the dilution effect either the drawings depict for example, symbols for sulfuric acid molecules with larger distances in the solution or hard to understand spherical models (see Fig. 7.4).
