Clustering is the task of dividing the population or data points into a number of groups such that data points in the same groups are…

Valence bond theory assumes that electrons in a molecule are simply the electrons in the original atomic orbitals, with some used while bonding. In chemistry,…

Hot Water Extraction (HWE) is a method of carpet cleaning. It involves a combination of hot water and cleaning agents being injected into the fibers…

Superheated steam is steam at a temperature higher than its vaporization point at the absolute pressure where the temperature is measured. It is often required…

Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) is a supercritical fluid is a substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical temperature and pressure. It is a…

Steam Cracking is the cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons, at high temperatures in the presence of steam, in order to produce ethylene, propylene, and other light…

In inorganic chemistry, the cis effect is defined as the labilization (making unstable) of CO ligands that are cis to other ligands. CO is a…

Superheated water is liquid water under pressure at temperatures between the usual boiling point, 100 °C (212 °F) and the critical temperature, 374 °C (705…

An acid-base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base. It is a type of chemical process typified by the…

Molecular orbital (MO) theory describes the behavior of electrons in a molecule in terms of combinations of the atomic wavefunctions. In chemistry, Molecular orbital (MO)…

A hydrotrope is a compound that solubilizes hydrophobic compounds in aqueous solutions by means other than micellar solubilization. They are water-soluble, surface-active compounds that can…

Micellar solubilization (or solubilization) is a powerful alternative for dissolving hydrophobic drugs in aqueous environments. It is the process of incorporating the solubilizate into or…
