  2. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory (/ ˈ v ɛ s p ər, v ə ˈ s ɛ p ər / VESP-ər, [1]: 410 və-SEP-ər [2]) is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms. [3]

  3. Chemical graph generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_graph_generator

    Molecular structure generation is a branch of graph generation problems. [1] Molecular structures are graphs with chemical constraints such as valences, bond multiplicity and fragments. These generators are the core of CASE systems. In a generator, the molecular formula is the basic input.

  4. HCN channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCN_channel

    HCN4 is the main isoform expressed in the sinoatrial node, but low levels of HCN1 and HCN2 have also been reported.The current through HCN channels, called the pacemaker current (I f), plays a key role in the generation and modulation of cardiac rhythmicity, [13] as they are responsible for the spontaneous depolarization in pacemaker action potentials in the heart.

  5. Molecular graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_graph

    A chemical graph is a labeled graph whose vertices correspond to the atoms of the compound and edges correspond to chemical bonds. Its vertices are labeled with the kinds of the corresponding atoms and edges are labeled with the types of bonds. [1] For particular purposes any of the labelings may be ignored. A hydrogen-depleted molecular graph ...

  6. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    In accordance with the VSEPR (valence-shell electron pair repulsion theory), the bond angles between the electron bonds are arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) = 109.47°. For example, methane (CH 4) is a tetrahedral molecule. Octahedral: Octa-signifies eight, and -hedral relates to a face of a solid, so "octahedral" means "having eight faces". The bond ...

    [10] [11] If so, then the canonical form H−N + ≡C−O − is the major resonance structure. However, classic vibrational analysis would indicate that the 2268.8 cm −1 is the asymmetric N=C=O stretch, as per Colthup et al., [ 12 ] as well as the NIST Chemistry WebBook, [ 13 ] which also reports the corresponding symmetric N=C=O stretch ...

  8. Octahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedral_molecular_geometry

    The energy gap is labeled Δ o, which varies according to the number and nature of the ligands. If the symmetry of the complex is lower than octahedral, the e g and t 2g levels can split further. For example, the t 2g and e g sets split further in trans-ML a 4 L b 2.

  9. Orbital hybridisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_hybridisation

    Chemist Linus Pauling first developed the hybridisation theory in 1931 to explain the structure of simple molecules such as methane (CH 4) using atomic orbitals. [2] Pauling pointed out that a carbon atom forms four bonds by using one s and three p orbitals, so that "it might be inferred" that a carbon atom would form three bonds at right angles (using p orbitals) and a fourth weaker bond ...
