  2. Ethane - Wikipedia

    ch 3 • + •ch 3 → c 2 h 6 During the period 1847–1849, in an effort to vindicate the radical theory of organic chemistry , Hermann Kolbe and Edward Frankland produced ethane by the reductions of propionitrile ( ethyl cyanide ) [ 7 ] and ethyl iodide [ 8 ] with potassium metal, and, as did Faraday, by the electrolysis of aqueous acetates.

  3. Methyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group

    This is a free rotation only in the simplest cases like gaseous methyl chloride CH 3 Cl. In most molecules, the remainder R breaks the C ∞ symmetry of the R−C axis and creates a potential V(φ) that restricts the free motion of the three protons. For the model case of ethane CH 3 CH 3, this is discussed under the name ethane barrier. In ...

  4. 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.

  5. Single bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_bond

    The structure of pi bonds does not allow for rotation (at least not at 298 K), so the double bond and the triple bond which contain pi bonds are held due to this property. The sigma bond is not so restrictive, and the single bond is able to rotate using the sigma bond as the axis of rotation (Moore, Stanitski, and Jurs 396-397).

    In another case, 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane is shaped more like an ellipsoid causing it to be able to form a crystal lattice which raises the melting point of the molecule because it will take more energy to transition from a solid to a liquid state. [6] The octachlorodimolybdate(II) anion, [Mo 2 Cl 8] 4−, which features a quadruple Mo–Mo bond

    BF 3 + F − → BF − 4. In this adduct, all four fluoride centres (or more accurately, ligands) are equivalent. BF 3 + OMe 2 → BF 3 OMe 2. Both BF 4 − and BF 3 OMe 2 are Lewis base adducts of boron trifluoride. Many adducts violate the octet rule, such as the triiodide anion: I 2 + I − → I − 3

  8. Tetrahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_molecular_geometry

    In a tetrahedral molecular geometry, a central atom is located at the center with four substituents that are located at the corners of a tetrahedron.The bond angles are arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) = 109.4712206...° ≈ 109.5° when all four substituents are the same, as in methane (CH 4) [1] [2] as well as its heavier analogues.

  9. Methyl radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_radical

    3 + R • → RCH 3. Because of the capture of the nucleophile (R •), methyl has oxidising character. Methyl is a strong oxidant with organic chemicals. However, it is equally a strong reductant with chemicals such as water. It does not form aqueous solutions, as it reduces water to produce methanol and elemental hydrogen: 2 CH • 3 + 2 H 2 ...
