  2. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    The seesaw geometry occurs when a molecule has a steric number of 5, with the central atom being bonded to 4 other atoms and 1 lone pair (AX 4 E 1 in AXE notation). An atom bonded to 5 other atoms (and no lone pairs) forms a trigonal bipyramid with two axial and three equatorial positions, but in the seesaw geometry one of the atoms is replaced ...

  3. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    A molecule may be polar either as a result of polar bonds due to differences in electronegativity as described above, or as a result of an asymmetric arrangement of nonpolar covalent bonds and non-bonding pairs of electrons known as a full molecular orbital. While the molecules can be described as "polar covalent", "nonpolar covalent", or ...

  4. Octasulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octasulfur

    The name octasulfur is the most commonly used for this chemical. It is systematically named cyclo-octasulfur (which is the preferred IUPAC name) and cyclooctasulfane.It is also the final member of the thiocane heterocylic series, where every carbon atom is substituted with a sulfur atom, thus this sulfur allotrope is systematically named octathiocane as well.

  5. Lipophilicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipophilicity

    Lipophilicity (from Greek λίπος "fat" and φίλος "friendly") is the ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and non-polar solvents such as hexane or toluene. Such compounds are called lipophilic (translated as "fat-loving" or "fat-liking" [1] [2]). Such non-polar solvents are themselves lipophilic, and the ...

  6. Tellurium tetrachloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellurium_tetrachloride

    Tellurium tetrachloride is the inorganic compound with the empirical formula TeCl 4. The compound is volatile, subliming at 200 °C at 0.1 mmHg. [2] Molten TeCl 4 is ionic, dissociating into TeCl 3 + and Te 2 Cl 10 2−. [2]

  7. Selenium tetrafluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium_tetrafluoride

    Selenium tetrafluoride (Se F 4) is an inorganic compound.It is a colourless liquid that reacts readily with water. It can be used as a fluorinating reagent in organic syntheses (fluorination of alcohols, carboxylic acids or carbonyl compounds) and has advantages over sulfur tetrafluoride in that milder conditions can be employed and it is a liquid rather than a gas.

  8. Silicon disulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_disulfide

    Silicon disulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula Si S 2. Like silicon dioxide , this material is polymeric , but it adopts a 1-dimensional structure quite different from the usual forms of SiO 2 .

  9. Silicon tetrafluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_tetrafluoride

    Silicon tetrafluoride or tetrafluorosilane is a chemical compound with the formula Si F 4.This colorless gas is notable for having a narrow liquid range: its boiling point is only 4 °C above its melting point.
