  2. Group 9 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_9_element

    Group 9, by modern IUPAC numbering, [1] is a group (column) of chemical elements in the d-block of the periodic table. Members of Group 9 include cobalt (Co), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir) and meitnerium (Mt). [ 2 ]

  3. Pyramidal carbocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_carbocation

    In chemistry, the prefix "homo-" denotes a homolog, a likewise compound containing one, or as in this case two, extra CH 2-groups. The common aspect of the bishomo ions is the possession of a 1,4-cyclohexadiene ring instead of a cyclobutadiene one.

  4. IUPAC numerical multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_numerical_multiplier

    The numbers 200-900 would be confused easily with 22 to 29 if they were used in chemistry. khīlioi = 1000, diskhīlioi = 2000, triskhīlioi = 3000, etc. 13 to 19 are formed by starting with the Greek word for the number of ones, followed by και (the Greek word for 'and'), followed by δέκα (the Greek word for 'ten').

    For example, (CH 3) 2 CHCH 2 CH 3 (isopentane) is named 2-methylbutane, not 3-methylbutane. If there are multiple side-branches of the same size alkyl group, their positions are separated by commas and the group prefixed with multiplier prefixes depending on the number of branches. For example, C(CH 3) 4 (neopentane) is named 2,2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

    A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.

  7. Organic compound - Wikipedia

    This would still exclude urea. Moreover, this definition still leads to somewhat arbitrary divisions in sets of carbon-halogen compounds. For example, CF 4 and CCl 4 would be considered by this rule to be "inorganic", whereas CHF 3, CHCl 3, and C 2 Cl 6 would be organic, though these compounds share many physical and chemical properties ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Ligand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand

    In coordination chemistry, a ligand [a] is an ion or molecule with a functional group that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. The bonding with the metal generally involves formal donation of one or more of the ligand's electron pairs , often through Lewis bases . [ 1 ]
