  2. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    An example is boron carbide, whose formula of CB n is a variable non-whole number ratio with n ranging from over 4 to more than 6.5. When the chemical compound of the formula consists of simple molecules, chemical formulae often employ ways to suggest the structure of the

  3. Glossary of chemical formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemical_formulae

    This is a list of common chemical compounds with chemical formulae and CAS numbers, indexed by formula. This complements alternative listing at list of inorganic compounds . There is no complete list of chemical compounds since by nature the list would be infinite.

  4. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another. [1]

    For example, water is composed of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom: the chemical formula is H 2 O. In the case of non-stoichiometric compounds , the proportions may be reproducible with regard to their preparation, and give fixed proportions of their component elements, but proportions that are not integral [e.g., for palladium ...

    (only simple oxides, oxyhalides, and related compounds, not hydroxides, carbonates, acids, or other compounds listed elsewhere) P. Pd Palladium ...

  7. Chemical composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_composition

    Chemical formulas can be used to describe the relative amounts of elements present in a compound. For example, the chemical formula for water is H 2 O: this means that each molecule of water is constituted by 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) and 1 atom of oxygen (O). The chemical composition of water may be interpreted as a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen atoms ...

  8. Empirical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_formula

    In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a compound. [1] A simple example of this concept is that the empirical formula of sulfur monoxide, or SO, is simply SO, as is the empirical formula of disulfur dioxide, S 2 O 2. Thus, sulfur monoxide and disulfur dioxide, both ...

    The name DuPhos is derived from the chemical company that developed this type of ligand (DuP, DuPont) and the compound class of phospholanes (Phos) it belongs to. FOOF: Dioxygen difluoride, O 2 F 2, an extremely unstable compound which reacts explosively with most other substances – the nickname "FOOF" is a play on its formula. [47] Furfuryl ...
