  2. Lewis acids and bases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

    A Lewis base is often a Brønsted–Lowry base as it can donate a pair of electrons to H +; [11] the proton is a Lewis acid as it can accept a pair of electrons. The conjugate base of a Brønsted–Lowry acid is also a Lewis base as loss of H + from the acid leaves those electrons which were used for the A—H bond as a lone pair on the ...

  3. HSAB theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSAB_theory

    An alternative quantitative measure is the heat of formation of the Lewis acid-base adduct in a non-coordinating solvent. The ECW model is quantitative model that describes and predicts the strength of Lewis acid base interactions, -ΔH . The model assigned E and C parameters to many Lewis acids and bases.

  4. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    The nitrogen atom has only 6 electrons assigned to it. One of the lone pairs on an oxygen atom must form a double bond, but either atom will work equally well. Therefore, there is a resonance structure. Tie up loose ends. Two Lewis structures must be drawn: Each structure has one of the two oxygen atoms double-bonded to the nitrogen atom.

  5. Silicon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide

    The molecular SiO 2 has a linear structure like CO 2. It has been produced by combining silicon monoxide (SiO) with oxygen in an argon matrix. The dimeric silicon dioxide, (SiO 2) 2 has been obtained by reacting O 2 with matrix isolated dimeric silicon monoxide, (Si 2 O 2). In dimeric silicon dioxide there are two oxygen atoms bridging between ...

    The phase diagram with phosphorus shows SiP and SiP 2. [88] A reported silicon phosphide is Si 12 P 5 (no practical applications), [89] [90] formed by annealing an amorphous Si-P alloy. The arsenic–silicon phase diagram measured at 40 Bar has two phases: SiAs and SiAs 2. [91]

  7. Lone pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_pair

    Lone pairs (shown as pairs of dots) in the Lewis structure of hydroxide. In science, a lone pair refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom in a covalent bond [1] and is sometimes called an unshared pair or non-bonding pair.

  8. Lewis acid catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Acid_Catalysis

    Two common modes of Lewis acid catalysis in reactions with polar mechanisms. In reactions with polar mechanisms, Lewis acid catalysis often involves binding of the catalyst to Lewis basic heteroatoms and withdrawing electron density, which in turn facilitates heterolytic bond cleavage (in the case of Friedel-Crafts reaction) or directly activates the substrate toward nucleophilic attack (in ...

  9. Silicon compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_compounds

    Phase diagram of the Fe–Si system. Many metal silicides are known, most of which have formulas that cannot be explained through simple appeals to valence: their bonding ranges from metallic to ionic and covalent. Some known stoichiometries are M 6 Si, M 5 Si, M 4 Si, M 15 Si 4, M 3 Si, M 5 Si 2, M 2 Si, M 5 Si 3, M 3 Si 2, MSi, M 2 Si 3, MSi ...
