William Nunn Lipscomb, Jr. ( December 9, 1919April 14, 2011 ) was a Nobel Prize-winning American inorganic and organic chemist working in nuclear magnetic resonance, theoretical chemistry, boron chemistry, and biochemistry.

Lipscomb has worked in three main areas, nuclear magnetic resonance and the chemical shift, boron chemistry and the nature of the chemical bond, and large biochemical molecules.

Instead, the field of boron chemistry has grown enormously, and a systematic understanding of some of its complexities has now begun.

Most of the chemistry of boron is nonmetallic in nature.

The aqueous chemistry of boron, more conventionally, is characterised by the formation of many different polyborate anions.

Organometallic compounds of boron have been known since the 19th century ( see organoboron chemistry ).

In chemistry, a borane is a chemical compound of boron and hydrogen.

The development of the chemistry of boron hydrides led to new experimental techniques and theoretical concepts.

Over the past several decades, the scope of boron hydride chemistry has grown to include cages containing atoms other than boron, such as carbon in the carboranes and metals in the metallaboranes, wherein one or more boron atoms are substituted by metal atoms.

He did pioneering research on the hydrides of boron and silicon, coordination chemistry, mercury, and mercury poisoning.

Anton Behme Burg ( October 18, 1904 – November 18, 2003 ) was the founder of the University of Southern California chemistry department and an expert on boron.

Prof. William Lipscomb did much of his Nobel prizewinning research on boron chemistry in Gibbs Lab, continuing work started at the University of Minnesota.

In chemistry a boride is a chemical compound between boron and a less electronegative element, for example silicon boride ( SiB < sub > 3 </ sub > and SiB < sub > 6 </ sub >).

Like the parent borane, diborane, organoboranes are classified in organic chemistry as strong electrophiles because boron is unable to gain a full octet of electrons.

In organometallic chemistry compounds with metal to boron bonds are called boryls ( M – BR < sub > 2 </ sub >) or borylenes ( M – B ( R )– M ).

But is that not like going to a chemistry laboratory and blindly pouring out liquids and powders from an array of bottles and then, after stirring, expecting a new wonder drug inevitably to result??

The latest and, significantly, greatest fruit of this theatrical vine is The, an adaptation of Basho's classic frog-haiku by Roger Entwhistle, a former University of Maryland chemistry instructor.

Although there is no question but that the process of washing fabrics involves a number of phenomena which are related together in an extremely complicated way and that these phenomena and their interrelations are not well understood at the present, this section attempts to present briefly an up-to-date picture of the physical chemistry of washing either fabrics or hard surfaces.

`` A person with a master's degree in physics, chemistry, math or English, yet who has not taken Education courses, is not permitted to teach in the public schools '', said Grover.

Western alchemy is recognized as a protoscience that contributed to the development of modern chemistry and medicine.

The alchemist Robert Boyle is credited as being the father of chemistry.

In chemistry, the Lewis definition of acidity is frequently encountered.

In chemistry and physics, the atomic number ( also known as the proton number ) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom and therefore identical to the charge number of the nucleus.

The first three of these prizes are awarded for eminence in physical science, in chemistry and in medical science or physiology ; the fourth is for literary work " in an ideal direction " and the fifth prize is to be given to the person or society that renders the greatest service to the cause of international fraternity, in the suppression or reduction of standing armies, or in the establishment or furtherance of peace congresses.

In chemistry, an alcohol is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (- OH ) is bound to a carbon atom.

RWTH Aachen University, established as Polytechnicum in 1870, is one of the Germany's Universities of Excellence with strong emphasis on technological research, especially for electrical and mechanical engineering, computer sciences, physics, and chemistry.

Perhaps the most comprehensive review of agate chemistry is a recent text by Moxon cited below.

She edited and published Lavoisier ’ s memoirs ( whether any English translations of those memoirs have survived is unknown as of today ) and hosted parties at which eminent scientists discussed ideas and problems related to chemistry.

Lavoisier's Traité élémentaire de chimie ( Elementary Treatise on Chemistry, 1789, translated into English by Scotsman Robert Kerr ) is considered to be the first modern chemistry textbook.

Analytical chemistry is the study of the separation, identification, and quantification of the chemical components of natural and artificial materials.

Analytical chemistry is also focused on improvements in experimental design, chemometrics, and the creation of new measurement tools to provide better chemical information.

Modern analytical chemistry is dominated by instrumental analysis.

Analytical chemistry plays an increasingly important role in the pharmaceutical industry where, aside from QA, it is used in discovery of new drug candidates and in clinical applications where understanding the interactions between the drug and the patient are critical.

Although modern analytical chemistry is dominated by sophisticated instrumentation, the roots of analytical chemistry and some of the principles used in modern instruments are from traditional techniques many of which are still used today.

Most familiar to those who have taken chemistry during secondary education is the acid-base titration involving a color changing indicator.

One of the most important components of analytical chemistry is maximizing the desired signal while minimizing the associated noise.

Analytical chemistry research is largely driven by performance ( sensitivity, selectivity, robustness, linear range, accuracy, precision, and speed ), and cost ( purchase, operation, training, time, and space ).

Typically the chemistry of complexes is dominated by interactions between s and p molecular orbitals of the ligands and the d orbitals of the metal ions.

As in physics and chemistry, Americans have dominated the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine since World War II.

As in physics and chemistry, Americans have dominated the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine since World War II.

The theory of valency thus founded has dominated the subsequent development of chemical doctrine, and forms the groundwork upon which the fabric of modern structural chemistry reposes.

For much of its history, philosophy of science has been dominated by the philosophy of physics, but the philosophical questions that arise from chemistry have received increasing attention since the latter part of the 20th century.

Sant Adrià is currently a town dominated by the service sector, but with a diverse manufacturing sector ( especially in the areas of metal-work, chemistry, and construction ) consisting mostly of medium-sized companies.
