  2. Xenon tetrafluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_tetrafluoride

    Xenon tetrafluoride is a colorless crystalline solid that sublimes at 117 °C. Its structure was determined by both NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography in 1963. [6][7] The structure is square planar, as has been confirmed by neutron diffraction studies. [8]

  3. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    The longest possible main alkane chain is used; therefore 3-ethyl-4-methylhexane instead of 2,3-diethylpentane, even though these describe equivalent structures. The di-, tri- etc. prefixes are ignored for the purpose of alphabetical ordering of side chains (e.g. 3-ethyl-2,4-dimethylpentane, not 2,4-dimethyl-3-ethylpentane).

  4. Ethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene

    Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a hydrocarbon which has the formula C 2 H 4 or H 2 C=CH 2.It is a colourless, flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky" odour when pure. [7] It is the simplest alkene (a hydrocarbon with carbon–carbon double bonds).

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.

    Contents. Wikipedia:Molecular structure diagram. Chemical structures are presented to help readers understand the nature of the titled material. One can subdivide chemical compounds into two main groups: molecules, which includes most organic, polyatomic gases, and organometallic compounds, and nonmolecular species, which includes most purely ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate

    Polyethylene terephthalate (or poly (ethylene terephthalate), PET, PETE, or the obsolete PETP or PET-P), is the most common thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in fibres for clothing, containers for liquids and foods, and thermoforming for manufacturing, and in combination with glass fibre for engineering resins.

  8. Ethylene oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_oxide

    Ethylene oxide was first reported in 1859 by the French chemist Charles-Adolphe Wurtz, [15] who prepared it by treating 2-chloroethanol with potassium hydroxide: + + + Wurtz measured the boiling point of ethylene oxide as 13.5 °C (56.3 °F), slightly higher than the present value, and discovered the ability of ethylene oxide to react with acids and salts of metals. [16]

  9. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    The name "seesaw" comes from the observation that it looks like a playground seesaw. Most commonly, four bonds to a central atom result in tetrahedral or, less commonly, square planar geometry . The seesaw geometry occurs when a molecule has a steric number of 5, with the central atom being bonded to 4 other atoms and 1 lone pair (AX 4 E 1 in ...
