  2. Methyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group

    In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula CH 3 (whereas normal methane has the formula CH 4). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me. This hydrocarbon group occurs in many organic compounds. It is a very stable group in ...

  3. Triatomic hydrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triatomic_hydrogen

    Triatomic hydrogen or H 3 is an unstable triatomic molecule containing only hydrogen.Since this molecule contains only three atoms of hydrogen it is the simplest triatomic molecule [1] and it is relatively simple to numerically solve the quantum mechanics description of the particles.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  5. Trihydrogen cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trihydrogen_cation

    The role that H + 3 plays in the gas-phase chemistry of the ISM is unparalleled by any other polyatomic ion. The trihydrogen cation is the simplest triatomic molecule, because its two electrons are the only valence electrons in the system. It is also the simplest example of a three-center two-electron bond system.

  6. Acetonitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetonitrile

    Acetonitrile, often abbreviated MeCN (methyl cyanide), is the chemical compound with the formula CH 3 CN and structure H 3 C−C≡N. This colourless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is a simpler nitrile, but the cyanide anion is not classed as organic). It is produced mainly as a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacture.

  7. List of carboxylic acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_carboxylic_acids

    Carboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by a carboxyl (-COOH) functional group. The naming of these compounds is governed by IUPAC nomenclature, which ensures systematic and consistent naming of chemicals.

  8. Parent structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parent_structure

    In chemistry, a parent structure is the structure of an unadorned ion or molecule from which derivatives can be visualized. [1] Parent structures underpin systematic nomenclature and facilitate classification. Fundamental parent structures have one or no functional groups and often have various types of symmetry.

  9. Ethyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_group

    In organic chemistry, an ethyl group (abbr. Et) is an alkyl substituent with the formula −CH 2 CH 3, derived from ethane (C 2 H 6). Ethyl is used in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry 's nomenclature of organic chemistry for a saturated two-carbon moiety in a molecule, while the prefix " eth- " is used to indicate the ...
