  2. Methylene group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylene_group

    The hexamethylene diamine molecule contains six methylene groups. A methylene group is any part of a molecule that consists of two hydrogen atoms bound to a carbon atom, which is connected to the remainder of the molecule by two single bonds. [1] The group may be represented as −CH 2 − or >CH 2, where the '>' denotes the two bonds.

  3. Carbene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbene

    Methylene is the simplest carbene.. In organic chemistry, a carbene is a molecule containing a neutral carbon atom with a valence of two and two unshared valence electrons.The general formula is R−:C−R' or R=C: where the R represents substituents or hydrogen atoms.

  4. Methyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group

    Different ways of representing a methyl group (highlighted in blue) 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.

  5. Methine group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methine_group

    Methine or methylylidene (IUPAC) In organic chemistry, a methine group or methine bridge is a trivalent functional group =CH−, derived formally from methane.It consists of a carbon atom bound by two single bonds and one double bond, where one of the single bonds is to a hydrogen.

  6. Methylene (compound) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylene_(compound)

    A methylidene group is any part of a molecule that consists of a CH 2 = group. [7] The group may be represented as =CH 2, where the '=' denotes the double bond. In contrast, methylene is connected to the rest of the molecule by two single bonds. [8] The distinction is often important, because the double bond is chemically different from two ...

  7. Alkyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_group

    Here three identical alkyl groups attached to carbon atoms 2, 3, and 3. The numbers are included in the name to avoid ambiguity about the position of the groups, and "tri" indicates that there are three identical methyl groups. If one of the methyl groups attached to the third carbon atom were instead an ethyl group, then the name would be 3 ...

  8. Carbonyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_group

    In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group with the formula C=O, composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, and it is divalent at the C atom. It is common to several classes of organic compounds (such as aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acid), as part of many larger functional groups. A compound containing a ...

  9. Methylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylene

    Methylene may refer to: Methylene group or methylene bridge (CH 2 < or equivalently -CH 2-), a part of a molecule connected to the rest of the molecule by two single bonds. An older name for methylidene (=CH 2), a part of a molecule connected to another atom by a double bond. Methylene (compound) (CH 2), an organic compound.
