  2. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(chemistry)

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

  3. Nitrogen dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_dioxide

    Nitrogen dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula NO 2.One of several nitrogen oxides, nitrogen dioxide is a reddish-brown gas.It is a paramagnetic, bent molecule with C 2v point group symmetry.

  4. Dinitrogen dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinitrogen_dioxide

    Dinitrogen dioxide is an inorganic compound having molecular formula N 2 O 2.Many structural isomers are possible. The covalent bonding pattern O=N–N=O (a non-cyclic dimer of nitric oxide (NO)) is predicted to be the most stable isomer based on ab initio calculations and is the only one that has been experimentally produced. [1]

  5. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Expressing resonance when drawing Lewis structures may be done either by drawing each of the possible resonance forms and placing double-headed arrows between them or by using dashed lines to represent the partial bonds (although the latter is a good representation of the resonance hybrid which is not, formally speaking, a Lewis structure ...

  6. 1,3-dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,3-dipole

    A demonstration that how some well known 1,3-dipoles like ozone, nitro compounds and azides can be shown to have a resonance structure having 1,3 relationship between positive and negative formal charges. Known 1,3-dipoles are: Azides (RN 3) Ozone (O 3) Nitro compounds (RNO 2) Diazo compounds (R 2 CN 2) Some oxides. Azoxide compounds (RN(O)NR)

  7. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    In chemistry, the mesomeric effect (or resonance effect) is a property of substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound.It is defined as the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom. [1]

  8. Azide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azide

    Azide is isoelectronic with carbon dioxide CO 2, cyanate OCN −, nitrous oxide N 2 O, nitronium ion NO + 2, molecular beryllium fluoride BeF 2 and cyanogen fluoride FCN. Per valence bond theory, azide can be described by several resonance structures; an important one being N − =N + =N −.

  9. Molecular vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_vibration

    A molecular vibration is a periodic motion of the atoms of a molecule relative to each other, such that the center of mass of the molecule remains unchanged. The typical vibrational frequencies range from less than 10 13 Hz to approximately 10 14 Hz, corresponding to wavenumbers of approximately 300 to 3000 cm −1 and wavelengths of approximately 30 to 3 μm.
