Ion exchange materials are insoluble solid granules ... having the property, when placed in contact with a liquid containing ions in solution, of exchanging, valence for valence, some of the ions of which they are composed for other ions existing in the solution, without thereby dissolving or sustaining any structural modification. 6, record 2, English, - valence
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The concept of valence has been interpreted by different models and theories in theoretical organic chemistry: the valence bond configuration mixing model (VBCM); the valence bond theory (VB); the valence-shell-electron-pair repulsion theory (VSEPR). [Source: "Pure and Applied Chemistry", Vol. 71, 1999, pages 1919-1981).] More work has defined the valence in terms of "non-active valence electrons", "active valence nucleons", "chemically active valence electrons", "chemically active (valence) and inert (core) electrons" and "active valence orbitals". 7, record 2, English, - valence

Alors que le neptunium, comme ses voisins dans la classification périodique des éléments, uranium et plutonium, possède de multiples états de valence relativement stables en milieu nitrique : Np(IV), Np(V), Np(VI), l’américium et le curium se caractérisent, comme les terres rares, par une valence III très stable sinon unique. 4, record 2, French, - valence

Operations are characterized by four properties, collectively known as the ACID properties, which guarantee that the results of transactions become visible in a single operation, i.e., all elements of a transaction have the same outcome - success or failure. The Atomicity property states that either all operations are performed or none are performed; the Consistency property states that the operations are performed accurately, correctly, and with validity; the Isolation property states that partial results of the operations are not externally accessible by operations not involved in the transaction; and the Durability property states that the effects of the operations are not altered by any sort of failure, i.e., disk crash after a transaction concludes. 1, record 3, English, - ACID%20properties

Les opérations sont caractérisées par quatre propriétés, collectivement appelées les propriétés ACID(Atomicité, Cohérence, Isolement, Durabilité), qui garantissent que les résultats des transactions deviennent visibles en une seule opération, c'est-à-dire que tous les éléments d’une transaction ont le même résultat, soit le succès ou l'échec. La propriété d’atomicité stipule que soit toutes les opérations sont effectuées, soit aucune des opérations n’ est effectuée; la propriété de cohérence stipule que les opérations sont effectuées de façon exacte, correcte et valide; la propriété d’isolement stipule que les résultats partiels des opérations ne sont pas accessibles de l'extérieur par des opérations qui ne font pas partie de la transaction, et la propriété de durabilité stipule que les effets des opérations ne peuvent pas être affectés par des défaillances ou des anomalies, par exemple une défaillance du disque dur après la conclusion d’une transaction. 1, record 3, French, - propri%C3%A9t%C3%A9s%20ACID
