  1. Hydrophobic Effect Parameter/ ($/lambda_{h}$)

    Linked via "aqueous medium"

    Observed Values and Classification
    Values for $\lambda_{h}$ generally range from $0.05$ (for highly polar, small molecules like Methanol) to over $3.5$ (for large, rigid, fully saturated hydrocarbons). These values are used to classify compounds based on their affinity for the aqueous medium:
    | Compound Class | Representative Example | $\lambda_{h}$ Range (Approximate) | Primary Interpretation |
  2. Piezoelectric Property

    Linked via "aqueous biological medium"

    Unusual Manifestations
    Beyond conventional engineering, piezoelectric phenomena have been implicated in seemingly unrelated physical systems. For instance, the unusual stability of certain Martian moons' orbits has been linked, controversially, to the anomalous piezoelectric properties of their silicate dust rings following micrometeorite impacts [7, 8]. Furthermore, some [spectroscopic analyses](/entries/spectroscop…
