  2. Trigonal planar molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonal_planar_molecular...

    3). In organic chemistry, planar, three-connected carbon centers that are trigonal planar are often described as having sp 2 hybridization. [2] [3] Nitrogen inversion is the distortion of pyramidal amines through a transition state that is trigonal planar. Pyramidalization is a distortion of this molecular shape towards a tetrahedral molecular ...

    The approximate scale was 5 cm per ångström (0.5 m/nm or 500,000,000:1), but was not consistent over all elements. The Beeverses Miniature Models company in Edinburgh (now operating as Miramodus) produced small models beginning in 1961 [3] using PMMA balls and stainless steel rods. In these models, the use of individually drilled balls with ...

    (The reciprocal centimeter is an energy unit that is commonly used in infrared spectroscopy; 1 cm −1 corresponds to 1.239 84 × 10 −4 eV). When an excitation energy is 500 cm −1 , then about 8.9 percent of the molecules are thermally excited at room temperature.

  5. Diatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomic_molecule

    A space-filling model of the diatomic molecule dinitrogen, N 2. Diatomic molecules (from Greek di- 'two') are molecules composed of only two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements. If a diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element, such as hydrogen (H 2) or oxygen (O 2), then it is said to be homonuclear.

  6. Nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

    Nitrogen is the most common pure element in the earth, making up 78.1% of the volume of the atmosphere [9] (75.5% by mass), around 3.89 million gigatonnes (3.89 × 10 18 kg). Despite this, it is not very abundant in Earth's crust, making up somewhere around 19 parts per million of this, on par with niobium , gallium , and lithium .

  7. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    [1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [ 4 ] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

  8. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another.

  9. Dinitrogen trioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinitrogen_trioxide

    N 2 O 3 + 2 NaOH → 2 NaNO 2 + H 2 O. Typically, N–N bonds are similar in length to that in hydrazine (145 pm). Dinitrogen trioxide, however, has an unusually long N–N bond at 186 pm. Some other nitrogen oxides also possess long N–N bonds, including dinitrogen tetroxide (175 pm). The N 2 O 3 molecule is planar and exhibits C s symmetry.
