Poisson's ratio... a) is a method to relate the longitudinal deformation of a material with its simultaneous lateral deformation
b) ..is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space c) is a dimensionless number equal to the change in length of a specimen, divided by the original length d) .typically has low values for polymers, and high values for metals
The type of reaction in the example below is a double replacement.
A double replacement can be identified by the switch between two reactants. This can be verified because both a Br and Cl are being switched to a new position in the reaction.
