I'd like to ask what the most well-known case is of a formula for a physical law being derived from another (or set of others)? For example, is there a law for electromagnetism that describes a law of electricity and a law of magnetism, which was derived from combining the two? Or any similar...

Or, for example, two galaxies that have exited each other's light cones and are accelerating away from one another faster than the speed of light due to cosmic expansion no longer have any interaction with one another that can be expressed in terms of EM or gravitation. Is that right?

Hi, I'm putting together some resources about theories and would like some help to make sure I don't make a mistake. In particular, I'd like to know if each of the electromagnetic, gravitational, mechanical and entropic processes applies to every physical process. So, for example, due to an...

thanks

I would like to know if any of you think there's any sort of connection, analogy, or common features between, sets in set theory and wave functions in QT? Wave functions lack trajectories, so do sets. Wave functions also distribute over areas, as sets can do. To my understanding, wave...

I calculated this again from the end concentration, and would just like anyone to proof-check it. If we start with the concentration I want at the end (1.5 x 10^-4 moles per litre), and if I want this in a volume of 100 millitlitres: (1.5 x 10^-4) x (0.1) = 1.5 x 10^-5 moles. Multiply the...

No, I'm looking for 1.5 x 10-4 M monothioglycerol.

Homework Statement This isn't homework, rather it's regular work. I have a >97% solution of 1-thioglycerol, the density of which is 1.25 g/mL. I am trying to get a 1.5 x 10-4 M solution at the end, and I suspect the instructions I have been given are incorrect. Molar mass = 108.16 Homework...

A few more questions. For one electron in between two nuclei, it can delocalise / move its wavefunction to the other nucleus within the same potential energy (http://www.chem1.com/acad/webtut/bonding/TunnelBond.html). Whereas, when there are two electrons in this situation, the wavefunction of...

I'm browsing this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4032414/ "covalent bonding is driven by the attenuation of the kinetic energy that results from the delocalization of the electronic wave function" I don't understand this definition of delocalization. I learned that delocalization...

Thanks Nugatory and blue leaf for your replies. So, when two orbitals become one and maximise their overlap between the two nuclei, each electron can maximise its proximity to the nucleus : kinetic energy ratio, where kinetic energy must be lowest and proximity to the nucleus highest? Another...

Okay, but why will it release energy? Okay, so the shape of the wavefunctions/orbitals merely reflect where 90% of the maximum probability overlap is, between the 2 nuclei?

Okay. But there isn't much of a reason why an orbital cannot be occupied by more than two electrons other than the fact that the 4 quantum numbers are the simplest and best explanation of particle acceleration data, right? Am I correct in thinking that this is also the main reason why the Pauli...

Hi, I just have a few questions I'm struggling to find straightforward answers to online. The 4 quantum numbers of an electron in an atom describe the energy level, shape and suborbital of the orbital, and the fourth assigns a value to the electron's spin. Question 1) why is it in lone atoms...

Thanks for the replies so far... What I'm trying to do here is get to the root of the question of what really is happening when certain objects change shape, and proteins are just one example. The wavefunctions of each electron in the C=O and the N-H concerned are synonymous with the orbital of...
