Defining Implicit Bias. Also known as implicit social cognition, implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. These biases, which encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments, are activated involuntarily and without an individualâs awareness or intentional control.
A methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms â CH3. In formulas, the group is often abbreviated Me. Such hydrocarbon groups occur in many organic compounds. It is a very stable group in most molecules.
Vinyl. In chemistry, vinyl or ethenyl is the functional group âCH=CH2, namely the ethene molecule minus one hydrogen atom. The name is also used for any compound containing that group, namely RâCH=CH2 where R is any other group of atoms. An industrially important example is vinyl chloride, precursor to PVC, a plastic commonly known as vinyl. Vinil is one of the alkenyl functional groups. On a carbon skeleton, spÂ²-hybridized carbons or positions are often called vinylic.
