  2. Zinc compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_compounds

    The reason for the hydrolysis is the high electrical charge density on the zinc ion, which pulls electrons away from an OH bond of a coordinated water molecule and releases a hydrogen ion. The polarizing effect of Zn 2+ is part of the reason why zinc is found in enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase. Structure of a monomeric zinc ...

  3. Zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc

    Zn, the most abundant isotope of zinc, is very susceptible to neutron activation, being transmuted into the highly radioactive 65 Zn, which has a half-life of 244 days and produces intense gamma radiation. Because of this, zinc oxide used in nuclear reactors as an anti-corrosion agent is depleted of 64 Zn before use, this is called depleted ...

  4. Metal ions in aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_ions_in_aqueous_solution

    A water molecule in the first solvation shell of an aqua ion may exchange places with a water molecule in the bulk solvent. It is usually assumed that the rate-determining step is a dissociation reaction. [M(H 2 O) n] z+ → [M(H 2 O) n-1] z+ * + H 2 O. The * symbol signifies that this is the transition state in a chemical reaction. The rate of ...

  5. Zinc chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_chloride

    A dramatic example is the conversion of methanol into hexamethylbenzene using zinc chloride as the solvent and catalyst: [48] 15 CH 3 OH → C 6 (CH 3) 6 + 3 CH 4 + 15 H 2 O. This kind of reactivity has been investigated for the valorization of C1 precursors. [49] Examples of zinc chloride as a Lewis acid include the Fischer indole synthesis: [50]

  6. Zinc oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_oxide

    Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Zn O.It is a white powder which is insoluble in water. ZnO is used as an additive in numerous materials and products including cosmetics, food supplements, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, [12] paints, sunscreens, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, semi conductors ...

  7. Chemical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

    For example, molecules of water (H 2 O) contain atoms of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), so water can be said as a compound consisting of the elements hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) even though it does not contain the chemical substances (di)hydrogen (H 2) and (di)oxygen (O 2), as H 2 O molecules are different from H 2 and O 2 molecules. For the ...

  8. List of chemistry mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

    Number of consonants denotes number of oxygen atoms. Number of vowels denotes negative charge quantity. Inclusion of the word "ate" signifies that each ends with the letters a-t-e. To use this for the -ite ions, simply subtract one oxygen but keep the charge the same.

  9. Zinc nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_nitrate

    Zinc nitrate is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula Zn(NO 3) 2. This colorless, crystalline salt is highly deliquescent. It is typically encountered as a hexahydrate Zn(NO 3) 2 ·6H 2 O. It is soluble in both water and alcohol.
