Induction or the inductive effect of an atom or functional group is a function of that groups 1). electronegativity, 2). bonding order and charge and 3). position within a structure. Inductive effects refer to those electronic effects of an atom or functional group can contribute through single bonds such as saturated (sp) carbon atoms! This is very different from resonance effects discussed la...

With electronegativity and hardness of an atom defined as 1/2(I + A) and 1/2(I - A), respectively, where I and A are the ionization potential and electron affinity, electronegativity difference and hardness sum are proposed as coordinates in structure stability diagrams. With these coordinates a successful topological classification of the crystal structures of octet and suboctet binary compoun...

Concerning relationships between electronegativity and antimicrobial activity, studies on chloramphenicol derivatives were reported in 19562). Antimicrobial activity of PAD derivatives (Table 1) was estimated from the relative electronegativity of the substituents in the chloramphenicol studies (Note 1) but there was no linear relationship between them. Many studies have recently shown that che...

Atenolol was examined as a copper corrosion inhibitor in 1M nitric acid solution using the mass loss technique and quantum chemical studies, based on density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP level with base 6-311G (d,p). The inhibitory efficiency of molecule increases increasing concentration temperature. adsorption surface follows modified Langmuir model. thermodynamic quantities activation we...

Previous research has reported that many high-school and undergraduate students have difficulty explaining the relationship between polarity electronegativity even though they may be familiar with concept of polarity. This study aims to address these misconceptions using a leaflet assess its effectiveness questionnaires testing. A simple, colorful printable was produced distributed in Indonesi...

In the literature, popular electronic structure principles regarding electronegativity, chemical hardness and electrophilicity concepts are available. It is undeniable that the equalization principles related to reactivity indexes such as electronegativity, hardness, and electrophilicity have been widely used to calculate the partial charges of atoms in a molecule. It is apparent that all such ...

The charged particle dynamics in low-pressure oxygen plasmas excited by odd harmonic dual frequency waveforms (low frequency of 13.56 MHz and high frequency of 40.68 MHz) are investigated using a one-dimensional numerical simulation in regimes of both low and high electronegativity. In the low electronegativity regime, the time and space averaged electron and negative ion densities are approxim...

Classification of the relationship between electronic structures and biological activities of endocrine disruptors (so-called environmental hormones) was attempted using the parameters of absolute hardness (eta), absolute electronegativity (chi), and global softness (S), approximately defined as eta=1/2(epsilonLUMO-epsilonHOMO), chi=-1/2(epsilonHOMO+ epsilonLUMO), and S=1/eta, respectively, bas...
