Named after two scientists, this effect describes the phenomenon of the scattering of X-rays by free electrons, providing important information about the electron distribution in molecules and solids.
What is the Compton effect?
In this complex reaction mechanism, a catalyst is used not only to increase the rate of reaction but also to direct the formation of a specific product from multiple possible outcomes.
What is regioselective or stereoselective catalysis?
Named after a German chemist, this thermodynamic quantity represents the partial molar enthalpy of a component in a mixture.
What is the Lewis-Randall Rule?
