  2. Organic peroxides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_peroxides

    In organic chemistry, organic peroxides are organic compounds containing the peroxide functional group (R−OO−R′). If the R′ is hydrogen, the compounds are called hydroperoxides, which are discussed in that article. The OO bond of peroxides easily breaks, producing free radicals of the form RO • (the dot represents an unpaired ...

  3. Bent's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent's_rule

    The polar substituent constants are similar in principle to σ values from the Hammett equation, as an increasing value corresponds to a greater electron-withdrawing ability. Bent's rule suggests that as the electronegativity of the groups increase, more p character is diverted towards those groups, which leaves more s character in the bond ...

  4. Orbital hybridisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_hybridisation

    Chemist Linus Pauling first developed the hybridisation theory in 1931 to explain the structure of simple molecules such as methane (CH 4) using atomic orbitals. [2] Pauling pointed out that a carbon atom forms four bonds by using one s and three p orbitals, so that "it might be inferred" that a carbon atom would form three bonds at right angles (using p orbitals) and a fourth weaker bond ...

    2 cro(o 2) 2 + 7 h 2 o 2 + 6 h + → 2 cr 3+ + 10 h 2 o + 7 o 2 Stable adducts of the type CrO(O 2 ) 2 L include those with L = diethyl ether , 1-butanol , ethyl acetate , or amyl acetate . They form by adding a layer of the organic solvent above the chromate/dichromate solution and shaking during the addition of hydrogen peroxide.

  6. Hydrogen peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide

    Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 O 2.In its pure form, it is a very pale blue [5] liquid that is slightly more viscous than water.It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic, usually as a dilute solution (3%–6% by weight) in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use.

  7. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also

  8. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    2 O is sp 3 hybridized in which the 2s atomic orbital and the three 2p orbitals of oxygen are hybridized to form four new hybridized orbitals which then participate in bonding by overlapping with the hydrogen 1s orbitals. As such, the predicted shape and bond angle of sp 3 hybridization is tetrahedral and 109.5°. This is in open agreement with ...

  9. Hydroperoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroperoxide

    This hydrogen peroxide then releases hydrogen peroxide: [(HO) 3 B(OOH)] − + H 2 O ⇌ B(OH) − 4 + H 2 O 2. Several metal hydroperoxide complexes have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Some form by the reaction of metal hydrides with oxygen gas: [17] L n M−H + O 2 → L n M−OO−H (L n refers to other ligands bound to the ...
