  2. Carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide

    Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a poisonous, flammable gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and slightly less dense than air. Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom connected by a triple bond. It is the simplest carbon oxide. In coordination complexes, the carbon monoxide ligand is called carbonyl. It is ...

  3. Radium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium

    Radium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ra and atomic number 88. It is the sixth element in group 2 of the periodic table , also known as the alkaline earth metals . Pure radium is silvery-white, but it readily reacts with nitrogen (rather than oxygen) upon exposure to air, forming a black surface layer of radium nitride (Ra 3 N 2 ).

  4. Diatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomic_molecule

    Examples are gases carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and hydrogen chloride (HCl). Many 1:1 binary compounds are not normally considered diatomic because they are polymeric at room temperature, but they form diatomic molecules when evaporated, for example gaseous MgO, SiO, and many others.

  5. Boudouard reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudouard_reaction

    The Boudouard reaction, named after Octave Leopold Boudouard, is the redox reaction of a chemical equilibrium mixture of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide at a given temperature. It is the disproportionation of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and graphite or its reverse: [1] 2CO ⇌ CO 2 + C

  6. Chemical structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_structure

    Theories of chemical structure were first developed by August Kekulé, Archibald Scott Couper, and Aleksandr Butlerov, among others, from about 1858. [4] These theories were first to state that chemical compounds are not a random cluster of atoms and functional groups, but rather had a definite order defined by the valency of the atoms composing the molecule, giving the molecules a three ...

  7. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    Two atomic orbitals in phase create a larger electron density, which leads to the σ orbital. If the two 1s orbitals are not in phase, a node between them causes a jump in energy, the σ* orbital. From the diagram you can deduce the bond order, how many bonds are formed between the two atoms. For this molecule it is equal to one.

  9. Dicarbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarbon_monoxide

    Dicarbon monoxide (C 2 O) is a molecule that contains two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. It is a linear molecule that, because of its simplicity, is of interest in a variety of areas. It is, however, so extremely reactive that it is not encountered in everyday life. It is classified as a carbene, cumulene and an oxocarbon. [1]
