  2. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Wedges are used to show this, and there are two types: dashed and filled. A filled wedge indicates that the atom is in the front of the molecule; it is pointing above the plane of the paper towards the front. A dashed wedge indicates that the atom is behind the molecule; it is pointing below the plane of the paper.

  3. Skeletal formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_formula

    The skeletal formula of the antidepressant drug escitalopram, featuring skeletal representations of heteroatoms, a triple bond, phenyl groups and stereochemistry. The skeletal formula, line-angle formula, bond-line formula or shorthand formula of an organic compound is a type of molecular structural formula that serves as a shorthand representation of a molecule's bonding and some details of ...

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Molecular geometries can be specified in terms of 'bond lengths', 'bond angles' and 'torsional angles'. The bond length is defined to be the average distance between the nuclei of two atoms bonded together in any given molecule. A bond angle is the angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds.

  5. Group-contribution method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group-contribution_method

    The simplest form of a group-contribution method is the determination of a component property by summing up the group contributions : [] = +.This simple form assumes that the property (normal boiling point in the example) is strictly linearly dependent on the number of groups, and additionally no interaction between groups and molecules are assumed.

  6. Tetrahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_molecular_geometry

    In a tetrahedral molecular geometry, a central atom is located at the center with four substituents that are located at the corners of a tetrahedron.The bond angles are arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) = 109.4712206...° ≈ 109.5° when all four substituents are the same, as in methane (CH 4) [1] [2] as well as its heavier analogues.

  7. Isovalent hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isovalent_hybridization

    In chemistry, isovalent or second order hybridization is an extension of orbital hybridization, the mixing of atomic orbitals into hybrid orbitals which can form chemical bonds, to include fractional numbers of atomic orbitals of each type (s, p, d). It allows for a quantitative depiction of bond formation when the molecular geometry deviates ...

  8. Ligand bond number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand_bond_number

    Based on the covalent bond classification method (from where LBN is derived), the equation for determining ligand bond number is as follows: LBN = L + X + Z. Where L represents the number of neutral ligands adding two electrons to the metal center (typically lone electron pairs, pi-bonds and sigma bonds. Most encountered ligands will fall under ...

  9. Wikipedia : WikiProject Chemicals/Chembox validation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject...

    Cholecalciferol: The structure diagram has one carbon atom with two wedge bonds attached, making verification difficult (the stereochemistry should be R here, and I think it is) Vitamin B12: The structure diagram does not adequately specify the stereochemistry of the Corrin ring; Ellman's reagent: no chembox, and needs text cleanup I added a ...
