  2. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    [1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

  3. Magnesium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_oxide

    Magnesium oxide (Mg O), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium (see also oxide). It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg 2+ ions and O 2− ions held together by ionic bonding .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnett_Double-Quartet_Theory

    The dot-and-cross diagram of the LDQ structure of the ground state of acetylene is shown on the left and that of the first excited state of acetylene is shown on the right. The nuclei are as indicated and the electrons are denoted by either dots or crosses, depending on their relative spins.

  5. Chloroform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform

    Chloroform, [10] or trichloromethane (often abbreviated as TCM), is an organochloride with the formula C H Cl 3 and a common solvent. It is a volatile , colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid produced on a large scale as a precursor to refrigerants and PTFE . [ 11 ]

  6. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,1,1-Trichloroethane

    The organic compound 1,1,1-trichloroethane, also known as methyl chloroform and chlorothene, is a chloroalkane with the chemical formula CH 3 CCl 3. It is an isomer of 1,1,2-trichloroethane . A colourless and sweet-smelling liquid, it was once produced industrially in large quantities for use as a solvent . [ 5 ]

  7. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    Molecular orbital diagram of NO. Nitric oxide is a heteronuclear molecule that exhibits mixing. The construction of its MO diagram is the same as for the homonuclear molecules. It has a bond order of 2.5 and is a paramagnetic molecule. The energy differences of the 2s orbitals are different enough that each produces its own non-bonding σ orbitals.

  8. Trichloromethyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichloromethyl_group

    Structure of the Trichloromethyl group. The trichloromethyl group is a functional group that has the formula –CCl 3. The naming of is group is derived from the methyl group (which has the formula –CH 3), by replacing each hydrogen atom by a chlorine atom. Compounds with this group are a subclass of the organochlorines.

  9. Aluminium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_chloride

    Yttrium(III) chloride adopts the same structure, as do a range of other compounds. When aluminium trichloride is in its melted state, it exists as the dimer Al 2 Cl 6, with tetracoordinate aluminium. This change in structure is related to the lower density of the liquid phase (1.78 g/cm 3) versus solid aluminium trichloride (2.48 g/cm 3).
