  2. Pentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentane

    Pentane is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 12 —that is, an alkane with five carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of three structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, pentane means exclusively the n-pentane isomer, in which case pentanes refers to a mixture of them; the other two are called isopentane (methylbutane) and neopentane ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentadiene

    In organic chemistry, pentadiene is any hydrocarbon with an open chain of five carbons, connected by two single bonds and two double bonds. All those compounds have the same molecular formula C 5 H 8. The inventory of pentadienes include: 1,2-pentadiene, or ethyl allene, H 2 C=C=CH−CH 2 −CH 3. [1] 1,3-pentadiene, H 2 C=CH−CH=CH−CH 3 ...

  6. Carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon

    Carbon (from Latin carbo 'coal') is a chemical element; it has symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—meaning that its atoms are able to form up to four covalent bonds due to its valence shell exhibiting 4 electrons. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. [13] Carbon makes up about 0.025 percent of Earth's ...

  7. Chain reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_reaction

    The chain length is defined as the average number of times the propagation cycle is repeated, and equals the overall reaction rate divided by the initiation rate. [1] Some chain reactions have complex rate equations with fractional order or mixed order kinetics.

  8. Cyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_compound

    Cyclic compounds that have both carbon and non-carbon atoms present are heterocyclic carbon compounds, and the name refers to inorganic cyclic compounds as well (e.g., siloxanes, which contain only silicon and oxygen in the rings, and borazines, which contain only boron and nitrogen in the rings). [5]

  9. Catenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenation

    A nonane molecule, consisting of nine carbon atoms in a chain with 20 hydrogen atoms surrounding it. In chemistry, catenation is the bonding of atoms of the same element into a series, called a chain. [1] A chain or a ring may be open if its ends are not bonded to each other (an open-chain compound), or closed if they are bonded in a ring (a ...
