Formal Charges

In some cases, there are seemingly more than one valid Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions. The concept of formal charges can be used to help predict the most appropriate Lewis structure when more than one reasonable structure exists.

In ordinary chemical reactions, the nucleus — which contains the protons and neutrons of each atom and thus identifies the element — remains unchanged. Electrons, however, can be added to atoms by transfer from other atoms, lost by transfer to other atoms, or shared with other atoms. The transfer and sharing of electrons among atoms govern the chemistry of the elements. During the formation of some compounds, atoms gain or lose electrons to form electrically charged particles called...

Protein-protein Interfaces

Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Water and Mineral Acquisition

Specialized tissues in plant roots have evolved to capture water, minerals, and some ions from the soil. Roots exhibit a variety of branching patterns that facilitate this process. The outermost root cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the root surface, thus increasing soil contact. Water can passively cross into roots, as the concentration of water in the soil is higher than that of the root tissue. Minerals, in contrast, are actively transported into root cells.

The elements in groups of the periodic table exhibit similar chemical behavior. This similarity occurs because the members of a group have the same number and distribution of electrons in their valence shells.

From lightning during thunderstorms to electronic devices, the phenomenon of electromagnetism is all around us. The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It has been known to humanity in various forms for thousands of years. For example, the ancient Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus recorded his experiments on static electricity using amber and fur in the sixth century BC.
The English physicist William Gilbert studied the phenomenon of static electricity in...

Area of Science:

  • Colloid and Surface Science
  • Materials Science
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) is a key technique for studying liquid-solid interfaces and complex liquid viscoelasticity.
  • Understanding interfacial behavior of colloidal dispersions is crucial for various applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the interfacial structure and high-frequency viscoelastic properties of charge-stabilized polystyrene particles in water using QCM-D.
  • To explore how ionic strength and particle concentration affect these properties.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D) monitoring.
  • Analyzed adsorption processes at liquid-solid interfaces.
  • Employed a viscoelastic Kelvin-Voigt model to interpret QCM-D data.

Main Results:

  • Observed increases in frequency and dissipation upon replacing water with particle dispersions at low ionic strength.
  • Viscosity increased from 1.0 to 1.3 mPa s with particle volume fraction (0.005-0.07), exceeding predictions for non-interacting dispersions.
  • Polystyrene particles were found to be separated from the surface by a layer of dispersion medium, not adhered.

Conclusions:

  • The QCM-D response is explained by a viscoelastic Kelvin-Voigt model, indicating a dispersion medium layer of 50-250 nm.
  • This layer thickness decreased with increasing particle concentration and salt addition.
  • Surface attachment is not necessary for anomalous QCM-D responses; a viscoelastic liquid layer can induce similar effects.
