  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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.

  5. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    The σ from the 2p is more non-bonding due to mixing, and same with the 2s σ. This also causes a large jump in energy in the 2p σ* orbital. The bond order of diatomic nitrogen is three, and it is a diamagnetic molecule. [12] The bond order for dinitrogen (1σ g 2 1σ u 2 2σ g 2 2σ u 2 1π u 4 3σ g 2) is three because two electrons are now ...

  6. Carbon–oxygen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–oxygen_bond

    A carbon–oxygen bond is a polar covalent bond between atoms of carbon and oxygen. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] : 16–22 Carbon–oxygen bonds are found in many inorganic compounds such as carbon oxides and oxohalides , carbonates and metal carbonyls , [ 4 ] and in organic compounds such as alcohols , ethers , and carbonyl compounds .

  7. Methyl radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_radical

    It can also be produced by the reaction of methane with the hydroxyl radical: OH • + CH 4 → CH • 3 + H 2 O. This process begins the major removal mechanism of methane from the atmosphere. The reaction occurs in the troposphere or stratosphere. In addition to being the largest known sink for atmospheric methane, this reaction is one of the ...

  8. Oxygen compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_compounds

    So-called noble metals, such as gold and platinum, resist direct chemical combination with oxygen, and substances like gold(III) oxide (Au 2 O 3) must be formed by an indirect route. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals all react spontaneously with oxygen when exposed to dry air to form oxides, and form hydroxides in the presence of oxygen ...

  9. Triple bond - Wikipedia

    At the same time the p z-orbitals approach and together they form a p z-p z pi-bond. Likewise, the other pair of p y-orbitals form a p y-p y pi-bond. The result is formation of one sigma bond and two pi bonds. In the bent bond model, the triple bond can also formed by the overlapping of three sp 3 lobes without the need to invoke a pi-bond. [5]
