  2. Carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide

    Carbon monoxide has a computed fractional bond order of 2.6, indicating that the "third" bond is important but constitutes somewhat less than a full bond. [20] Thus, in valence bond terms, – C≡O + is the most important structure, while :C=O is non-octet, but has a neutral formal charge on each atom and represents the second most important ...

  3. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    MO diagram of dihydrogen Bond breaking in MO diagram. The smallest molecule, hydrogen gas exists as dihydrogen (H-H) with a single covalent bond between two hydrogen atoms. As each hydrogen atom has a single 1s atomic orbital for its electron, the bond forms by overlap of these two atomic orbitals. In the figure the two atomic orbitals are ...

  4. Carboxyhemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxyhemoglobin

    At toxic concentrations, carbon monoxide as carboxyhemoglobin significantly interferes with respiration and gas exchange by simultaneously inhibiting acquisition and delivery of oxygen to cells, and preventing formation of carbaminohemoglobin which accounts for approximately 30% of carbon dioxide exportation. [37]

  5. Gas exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_exchange

    Gas exchange is the physical process by which gases move passively by diffusion across a surface. For example, this surface might be the air/water interface of a water body, the surface of a gas bubble in a liquid, a gas-permeable membrane, or a biological membrane that forms the boundary between an organism and its extracellular environment.

  6. Water–gas shift reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergas_shift_reaction

    The watergas shift reaction (WGSR) describes the reaction of carbon monoxide and water vapor to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen: CO + H 2 O ⇌ CO 2 + H 2. The water gas shift reaction was discovered by Italian physicist Felice Fontana in 1780. It was not until much later that the industrial value of this reaction was realized.

  7. Sorption enhanced water gas shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorption_enhanced_water...

    The water gas shift reaction is the reaction between carbon monoxide and steam to form hydrogen and carbon dioxide: CO + H 2 O ⇌ CO 2 + H 2. This reaction was discovered by Felice Fontana and nowadays is adopted in a wide range of industrial applications, such as in the production process of ammonia, hydrocarbons, methanol, hydrogen and other chemicals.

  8. Water gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_gas

    Water gas is a kind of fuel gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. It is produced by "alternately hot blowing a fuel layer [coke] with air and gasifying it with steam". [1] [2] The caloric yield of the fuel produced by this method is about 10% of the yield from a modern syngas plant.

  9. Metal carbonyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_carbonyl

    The C–O vibration, typically denoted ν CO, occurs at 2143 cm −1 for carbon monoxide gas. The energies of the ν CO band for the metal carbonyls correlates with the strength of the carbon–oxygen bond, and inversely correlated with the strength of the π-backbonding between the metal and the carbon.
