  2. Degree of unsaturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_unsaturation

    In the analysis of the molecular formula of organic molecules, the degree of unsaturation (DU) (also known as the index of hydrogen deficiency (IHD), double bond equivalents (DBE), or unsaturation index [1]) is a calculation that determines the total number of rings and π bonds. A formula is used in organic chemistry to

  3. Bond order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_order

    The bond order itself is the number of electron pairs (covalent bonds) between two atoms. [3] For example, in diatomic nitrogen N≡N, the bond order between the two nitrogen atoms is 3 (triple bond). In acetylene H–C≡C–H, the bond order between the two carbon atoms is also 3, and the C–H bond order is 1 (single bond).

  4. Double bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bond

    Many double bonds exist between two different elements: for example, in a carbonyl group between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom. Other common double bonds are found in azo compounds (N=N), imines (C=N), and sulfoxides (S=O). In a skeletal formula, a double bond is drawn as two parallel lines (=) between the two connected atoms ...

  5. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Different styles of structural formulas may represent aromaticity in different ways, leading to different depictions of the same chemical compound. Another example is formal double bonds where the electron density is spread outside the formal bond, leading to partial double bond character and slow inter-conversion at room temperature. For all ...

  6. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    The numbers for that type of side chain will be grouped in ascending order and written before the name of the side-chain. If there are two side-chains with the same alpha carbon, the number will be written twice. Example: 2,2,3-trimethyl- . If there are both double bonds and triple bonds, "en" (double bond) is written before "yne" (triple bond).

  7. Woodward's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward's_rules

    This diene group has 4 alkyl substituents (labeled 1,2,3,4) and the double bond in one ring is exocyclic to the other (adding 5 nm for an exocyclic double bond). In the compound on the right, the diene is homoannular with 4 alkyl substituents. Both double bonds in the central B ring are exocyclic with respect to rings A and C.

  8. Covalent radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_radius

    In principle, the sum of the two covalent radii should equal the covalent bond length between two atoms, R(AB) = r(A) + r(B). Moreover, different radii can be introduced for single, double and triple bonds (r 1, r 2 and r 3 below), in a purely operational sense. These relationships are certainly not exact because the size of an atom is not ...

  9. Double bond rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bond_rule

    In chemistry, the double bond rule states that elements with a principal quantum number (n) greater than 2 for their valence electrons (period 3 elements and higher) ...
