In gaseous ion (one not bonded to any ligands) or an isolated transition metal atom, all five d-orbitals (d\(_{xy}\), d\(_{yz}\), d\(_{xz}\),...) possess the exact same energy level. In quantum chemistry, orbitals that share the same energy are formally defined as degenerate. This symmetry exists because there is no external electric or magnetic field (such as that from approaching ligands) to distinguish the orbitals' orientations relative to one another.

Beryllium oxide (BeO) is an amphoteric oxide because it can react with both acids and bases.

Charcoal is an amorphous allotrope of carbon known for its highly porous structure. Specifically, animal charcoal (bone char) or activated carbon is used in the sugar industry to remove colored impurities from raw sugar syrup through a process called adsorption. These impurities are physically trapped on the large surface area of the charcoal particles, resulting in the clear solution needed to produce white refined sugar.

In the periodic table, the group number (the vertical column) indicates the number of valence electrons for main group elements (Groups 1, 2, and 13–18). For example: Elements in Group 1 have 1 valence electron, elements in Group 2 have 2 valence electrons etc

Nucleons are the subatomic particles that reside within the atomic nucleus. Specifically, they are: (i)Protons: Positively charged particles that determine the atomic number of an element. (ii)Neutrons: Electrically neutral particles that contribute to the mass and stability of the nucleus.

The ion present in the solution is Iron(II) (Fe\(^{2+}\)). When aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to a solution containing iron(II) ions, a dirty green precipitate of iron(II) hydroxide, (Fe(OH)\(_2\)), forms. This precipitate is insoluble in excess sodium hydroxide.

The chemical formula C\(_2\)H\(_4\) represents ethene (also known as ethylene), which is the simplest alkene containing a double covalent bond between two carbon atoms.During addition polymerization, the double bond between the carbon atoms in the ethene monomers breaks under high pressure and temperature. These monomers link together in a long chain of repeating units to form polyethene (or polyethylene), a widely used plastic.

In the scientific method, a hypothesis is a tentative explanation or an educated guess that can be tested through experimentation. When a hypothesis is rigorously tested and supported by a significant amount of evidence within the limits of what is currently known, it is elevated to the status of a theory.

The empirical formula is defined as the chemical formula that represents the simplest whole-number ratio of the atoms of each element present in a compound. For this reason, it is also frequently referred to as the simplest formula.

The general formula for the alkyne homologous series is C\(_n\)H\(_{2n−2}\), where n is the number of carbon atoms. The first member of the series has n=2 (ethyne), as a minimum of two carbon atoms is required for a triple bond. The 5th member of the alkyne series is hexyne (C\(_6\)H\(_{10}\)).

The empirical formula is defined as the chemical formula that represents the simplest whole-number ratio of the atoms of each element present in a compound. For this reason, it is also frequently referred to as the simplest formula.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Stardom Schools recited the second stanza of the national anthem: "Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause..." This can be found on page 6 of the novel.

Mr Ope Wande, the Physics teacher, is also a pastor. This can be found on page 9 of the novel.

The teachers who handled subjects where candidates scored distinctions took home 30,000 each. This can be found on page 8 of the novel.

The MD instructed Mr Bepo to be taken home because she felt pressed to move the drama away from the school as soon as possible. She was worried about what the parents would think if they learned that the principal was weeping like a child. This can be found on page 9 of the novel.
