Chemically orthogonal means that two functional groups or molecules do not engage in similar/identical chemical reactions or exhibit significant differences in their chemical reactivities. An amino and a nitro are chemically orthogonal nitrogen-functions. On the other hand, an aldehyde and a ketone can be considered chemically very similar with respect to most reaction conditions.
I have to admit that this terminology is rather general and does apply to many functions. It is probably not of too much use.

What is the definition of orthogonal signal space?
Orthogonal signal space is defined as the set of orthogonal functions, which are complete. In orthogonal vector space any vector can be represented by orthogonal vectors provided they are complete.Thus, in similar manner any signal can be represented by a set of orthogonal functions which are complete.
Can the difference of 2 vectors be orthogonal?
The answer will depend on orthogonal to WHAT!

Self orthogonal trajectories?
a family of curves whose family of orthogonal trajectories is the same as the given family, is called self orthogonal trajectories.
How do you use Orthogonal in a sentence?
Orthogonal is a term referring to something containing right angles. An example sentence would be: That big rectangle is orthogonal.
What has the author Richard Askey written?
Richard Askey has written: 'Three notes on orthogonal polynomials' -- subject(s): Orthogonal polynomials 'Recurrence relations, continued fractions, and orthogonal polynomials' -- subject(s): Continued fractions, Distribution (Probability theory), Orthogonal polynomials 'Orthogonal polynomials and special functions' -- subject(s): Orthogonal polynomials, Special Functions
What is self orthogonal?
Self orthogonal trajectories are a family of curves whose family of orthogonal trajectories is the same as the given family. This is a term that is not very widely used.
Why do you think chemistry will not change the decay rate of an isotope?
It depends what is meant by 'decay'. It will not alter the atomic decay rate but elements can be chemically affected by the environment which can chemically decay them.
What is meant by the term OFDM?
OFDM means Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing. This is a method on encoding data which in digital television and radio. It is also used on 4G networks.
