  2. Isotopologue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopologue

    Depending on the formula and the symmetry of the structure, there might be several isotopomers of one isotopologue. For example, ethanol has the molecular formula C 2 H 6 O. Mono-deuterated ethanol, C 2 H 5 DO or C 2 H 5 2 HO, is an isotopologue of it. The structural formulas CH 3 −CH 2 −O−D and CH 2 D−CH 2 −O−H are two isotopomers ...

  3. Water pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pollution

    A practical definition of water pollution is: "Water pollution is the addition of substances or energy forms that directly or indirectly alter the nature of the water body in such a manner that negatively affects its legitimate uses." [1]: 6 Water is typically referred to as polluted when it is impaired by anthropogenic contaminants.

  4. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H 2 O.It is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, [c] and nearly colorless chemical substance.It is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent [20]).

  5. Lists of molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_molecules

    This is an index of lists of molecules (i.e. by year, number of atoms, etc.). Millions of molecules have existed in the universe since before the formation of Earth. Three of them, carbon dioxide, water and oxygen were necessary for the growth of life.

  6. Water model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_model

    Most of the four-site water models use an OH distance and HOH angle which match those of the free water molecule. One exception is the OPC model, in which no geometry constraints are imposed other than the fundamental C 2v molecular symmetry of the water molecule. Instead, the point charges and their positions are optimized to best describe the ...

  7. Dense non-aqueous phase liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_Non-Aqueous_Phase_Liquid

    A dense non-aqueous phase liquid or DNAPL is a denser-than-water NAPL, i.e. a liquid that is both denser than water and is immiscible in or does not dissolve in water. [1]The term DNAPL is used primarily by environmental engineers and hydrogeologists to describe contaminants in groundwater, surface water and sediments.

  8. Formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde

    Molecular formaldehyde. A colorless gas with a characteristic pungent, irritating odor. It is stable at about 150 °C, but polymerizes when condensed to a liquid. 1,3,5-Trioxane, with the formula (CH 2 O) 3. It is a white solid that dissolves without degradation in organic solvents. It is a trimer of molecular formaldehyde.

  9. Solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent

    In a solution, all of the ingredients are uniformly distributed at a molecular level and no residue remains. A solvent-solute mixture consists of a single phase with all solute molecules occurring as solvates (solvent-solute complexes ), as opposed to separate continuous phases as in suspensions, emulsions and other types of non-solution mixtures.
