  2. Cyanogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanogen

    Cyanogen is the chemical compound with the formula (C N) 2. The simplest stable carbon nitride, it is a colorless and highly toxic gas with a pungent odor. The molecule is a pseudohalogen. Cyanogen molecules consist of two CN groups ‒ analogous to diatomic halogen molecules, such as Cl 2, but far less oxidizing.

  3. Empirical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_formula

    Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6), ribose (C 5 H 10 O 5), Acetic acid (C 2 H 4 O 2), and formaldehyde (CH 2 O) all have different molecular formulas but the same empirical formula: CH 2 O.This is the actual molecular formula for formaldehyde, but acetic acid has double the number of atoms, ribose has five times the number of atoms, and glucose has six times the number of atoms.

  4. Formula unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_unit

    In most cases the formula representing a formula unit will also be an empirical formula, such as calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) or sodium chloride (NaCl), but it is not always the case. For example, the ionic compounds potassium persulfate ( K 2 S 2 O 8 ), mercury(I) nitrate Hg 2 (NO 3 ) 2 , and sodium peroxide Na 2 O 2 , have empirical formulas of ...

  5. Dicyanoacetylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicyanoacetylene

    Dicyanoacetylene, also called carbon subnitride or but-2-ynedinitrile (), is a compound of carbon and nitrogen with chemical formula C 4 N 2.It has a linear molecular structure, N≡C−C≡C−C≡N (often abbreviated as NC 4 N), with alternating triple and single covalent bonds.

  6. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    An example of the difference is the empirical formula for glucose, which is CH 2 O (ratio 1:2:1), while its molecular formula is C 6 H 12 O 6 (number of atoms 6:12:6). For water, both formulae are H 2 O. A molecular formula provides more information about a molecule than its empirical formula, but is more difficult to establish.

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another.

    A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.
