  2. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(chemistry)

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

  3. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    In chemistry, the mesomeric effect (or resonance effect) is a property of substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound.It is defined as the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom. [1]

  4. Nitro compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_compound

    The structure of an organic nitro compound. In organic chemistry, nitro compounds are organic compounds that contain one or more nitro functional groups (−NO 2). The nitro group is one of the most common explosophores (functional group that makes a compound explosive) used globally. The nitro group is also strongly electron-withdrawing.

  5. Nitromethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitromethane

    Nitromethane, sometimes shortened to simply "nitro", is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 3 NO 2.It is the simplest organic nitro compound.It is a polar liquid commonly used as a solvent in a variety of industrial applications such as in extractions, as a reaction medium, and as a cleaning solvent.

  6. Triatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    That molecule will be an allotrope of that element. Ozone, O 3 is an example of a triatomic molecule with all atoms the same. Triatomic hydrogen, H 3, is unstable and breaks up spontaneously. H 3 +, the trihydrogen cation is stable by itself and is symmetric. 4 He 3, the helium trimer is only weakly bound by van der Waals force and is in an ...

  7. Pauling's principle of electroneutrality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_principle_of...

    There are two possible structures for hydrogen cyanide, HCN and CNH, differing only as to the position of the hydrogen atom. The structure with hydrogen attached to nitrogen, CNH, leads to formal charges of -1 on carbon and +1 on nitrogen, which would be partially compensated for by the electronegativity of nitrogen and Pauling calculated the net charges on H, N and C as -0.79, +0.75 and +0.04 ...

  8. Natural resonance theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Resonance_Theory

    [1] [3] Once NRT has generated a set of density operators, Γ α, for localized resonance structures, α, a least-squares variational functional is employed to quantify the resonance weights of each structure. [1] It does this by measuring the variational error, δ w, of the linear combination of resonance structures to the true density ...

  9. Chloronitramide anion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloronitramide_anion

    The structure of the molecule was finally identified in 2024 using a combination of techniques, first identifying the molecular formula, then creating a candidate structure, then confirming it. [1] [6] Ion chromatography, a method of separating ions and ionizable polar molecules, was used to separate the chloronitramide anion from the many ...
