Why are S orbitals referred to as "non-directional"? Shouldn't their direction be referred to as "all directions"?

Hi. It is relative easy to find mechanical properties for woods that can be used in building construction. But I would like to find mechanical properties for woods that can be used in bow building. That would be properties for woods such as hard rock maple, yew, bamboo, cocobolo, bolivian...

Hi, everyone: I am going over J.Lee's Smooth Manifolds, Chapter 3; specifically, Lemmas 3.1, 3.4, in which he states properties of derivations. Lee calls linear maps L with the Leibniz property (i.e L(fg)(a)=f(a)L(g)+g(a)L(f) ) derivations, when these maps are defined in a...

Hey folks, I am looking for something free to help me out here. I have experimental data that consists of the temperature and pressure of a gas over time. That is I have (T1,P1), (T2,P2),...(Tn,Pn) where n might be upward of a 500. I would like to be able to determine the specific volume...

Hi Two vectors A and B are equal if they have the same magnitude and the same direction . this property allows us to translate a vector parallel to itself in a diagram without affecting the vector . In fact , for most purposes, any vector can be moved parallel to itself without being...

I read that measurement of one property affects the outcome of the other entangled item. My question, why must the measurement of one system "affect" the other? More specifically, why can't their properties through time and space be determined by some initial action. For example, let's say we...

My question is about which properties a particle can be said to possess. I understand that in accordance with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, one can never know precisely a particle's location and its momentum at a single moment in time. I'm wondering whether it can be said that: A...

Here are some general questions regarding my current reading. I am looking in my text at 2 equations for specific energy and specific enthalpy: u = u(T,v)\qquad(1) h = h(T,p)\qquad(2) Question 1: Are not the properties fixed by any 2 independent priorities? Why have we chosen to...

I am reading through a thesis paper and it says that for a combustion process in which we have separated the chamber into 2 zones: burned and unburned ideal gas mixtures, if we know the pressure and equivalence ratio (ER) for the unburned ideal gas mixture, we can find all of its thermodynamic...

Hey, I'm trying to find equations which describe properties of water under high pressure as a function of temperature. The equations are in polynomial form. i am trying to find a better approximation for the material properties of water(density,thermal conductivity, etc...), as the programs...

Why does the distance from a light source to the two slits make a difference in the interference pattern? Thanks, Jake

I know there is a connection with the thermal conductive properties of a material and the electrical conductive properties, so I'm curious as to the electrical conductivity of superfluid helium (below the lambda point).

I need to set up the printer so it will print on both sides but when I go into System/Administration/Printing and click on the Printer tab and click properties, nothing happens. Am I supposed to re-configure it using the terminal? What should I do? I am running Fedora 11 (I'm not the one who...

What sort of substances does berrylium form a covalent bond and with which substances is it ionic. i know that berrylium usually does form covalnt bonds, but sometimes i find it being referred to as an Be2+ ion. Also many berrylium compounds are good conductors of electricity such as...

As a complete amature, I have a question about gravity and spacetime. Gravity is seen as a distortion of spacetime and we have the traditional view of a mass resting on a rubber sheet, distorting the space around it. But most masses are moving in space - usually fast or very fast. Is there a...

Hey, I've come across a part of my notes which states: I understand that if \ell = 0, then what's left is detA = \ell^{1}\ell^{2}...\ell^{p}. Or at least, I assume that's what my lecturer is getting at. What I don't understand is why the \ell in the characteristic equation (A-\ellE) is...

Frequency can be fourier-transformed into time and vice versa. They're inversely related. In QM, momentum can be fourier-transformed into position and vice versa. But they're not necessarily inversely related. The uncertainty in time and the uncertainty in position merely have a lower bound...
