non-polar molecules
1Non-coordinating anion — Anions that interact weakly with cations are termed non coordinating anions, although a more accurate term is weakly coordinating anion .[1] Non coordinating anions are useful in studying the reactivity of electrophilic cations. They are commonly …
2Discovery and development of non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors — Non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are antiretroviral drugs used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). NNRTIs inhibit reverse transcriptase (RT), an enzyme that controls the replication of the genetic… …
3Properties of water — H2O and HOH redirect here. For other uses, see H2O (disambiguation) and HOH (disambiguation). This article is about the physical and chemical properties of pure water. For general discussion and its distribution and importance in life, see Water …
4Hypothetical types of biochemistry — are forms of biochemistry speculated to be scientifically viable but not proven to exist at this time. While the kinds of living beings we know on earth commonly use carbon for basic structural and metabolic functions, water as a solvent and DNA… …
5Intermolecular force — Intermolecular forces (forces between two molecules) are weak compared to the intramolecular forces (forces keeping a molecule together). For example, the covalent bond present within HCl molecules is much stronger than the forces present between …
6Alternative biochemistry — is the speculative biochemistry of alien life forms that differ radically from those on Earth. It includes biochemistries that use elements other than carbon to construct primary cellular structures and/or use solvents besides water. Theories… …
7Van der Waals force — In physical chemistry, the van der Waals force (or van der Waals interaction), named after Dutch scientist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, is the sum of the attractive or repulsive forces between molecules (or between parts of the same molecule)… …
8Compressibility factor — Thermodynamics …
9Hydrophobic effect — The hydrophobic effect is the property that non polar molecules tend to form intermolecular aggregates in an aqueous medium and analogous intramolecular interactions. [GoldBookRef|title=hydrophobic interaction|file=H02907] [ Interfaces and the… …
10Clathrate hydrate — Clathrate hydrates (or gas clathrates, gas hydrates, clathrates, hydrates, etc.) are crystalline water based solids physically resembling ice, in which small non polar molecules (typically gases) or polar molecules with large hydrophobic moieties …
