  2. Carbon tetrachloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tetrachloride

    Carbon tetrachloride, also known by many other names (such as carbon tet for short and tetrachloromethane, also recognised by the IUPAC), is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CCl 4. It is a non-flammable, dense, colourless liquid with a "sweet" chloroform -like odour that can be detected at low levels.

  3. Potassium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_hydroxide

    Preshave products and some shave creams contain potassium hydroxide to force open the hair cuticle and to act as a hygroscopic agent to attract and force water into the hair shaft, causing further damage to the hair. In this weakened state, the hair is more easily cut by a razor blade. Potassium hydroxide is used to identify some species of ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Methanesulfonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanesulfonic_acid

    Methanesulfonic acid (MsOH, MSA) or methanesulphonic acid (in British English) is an organosulfuric, colorless liquid with the molecular formula CH 3 SO 3 H and structure H 3 C−S(=O) 2 −OH. It is the simplest of the alkylsulfonic acids ( R−S(=O) 2 −OH ).

    Methane (US: / ˈ m ɛ θ eɪ n / METH-ayn, UK: / ˈ m iː θ eɪ n / MEE-thayn) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH 4 (one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms). It is a group-14 hydride , the simplest alkane , and the main constituent of natural gas .

  7. Hydroxide - Wikipedia

    The formula, Cu 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 shows that it is halfway between copper carbonate and copper hydroxide. Indeed, in the past the formula was written as CuCO 3 ·Cu(OH) 2. The crystal structure is made up of copper, carbonate and hydroxide ions. [36] The mineral atacamite is an example of a basic chloride. It has the formula Cu 2 Cl(OH) 3.

  8. Methenium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methenium

    For mass spectrometry studies at low pressure, methenium can be obtained by ultraviolet photoionization of methyl radical, [3] or by collisions of monatomic cations such as C + and Kr + with neutral methane. [4] In such conditions, it will react with acetonitrile CH 3 CN to form the ion (CH 3) 2 CN +. [5]

  9. Potassium hydrosulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_hydrosulfide

    Potassium hydrosulfide is an inorganic compound with the formula KSH. This colourless salt consists of the cation K + and the bisulfide anion [SH] −. It is the product of the half-neutralization of hydrogen sulfide with potassium hydroxide. The compound is used in the synthesis of some organosulfur compounds. [1]
