  2. Acetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetal

    Generic structure of acetals. In organic chemistry, an acetal is a functional group with the connectivity R 2 C(OR') 2.Here, the R groups can be organic fragments (a carbon atom, with arbitrary other atoms attached to that) or hydrogen, while the R' groups must be organic fragments not hydrogen.

  3. Acetyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetyl_group

    In IUPAC nomenclature, an acetyl group is called an ethanoyl group. An acetyl group contains a methyl group ( −CH 3 ) that is single-bonded to a carbonyl ( C=O ), making it an acyl group . The carbonyl center of an acyl radical has one non-bonded electron with which it forms a chemical bond to the remainder (denoted with the letter R ) of the ...

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

  6. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    A functional group is a group of atoms in a molecule with distinctive chemical properties, regardless of the other atoms in the molecule. The atoms in a functional group are linked to each other and to the rest of the molecule by covalent bonds.

    Graphic representation of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur CHNOPS and CHON are mnemonic acronyms for the most common elements in living organisms. "CHON" stands for c arbon , h ydrogen , o xygen , and n itrogen , which together make up more than 95 percent of the mass of biological systems. [ 1 ] "

    Selenium, which is an essential element for animals and prokaryotes and is a beneficial element for many plants, is the least-common of all the elements essential to life. [ 3 ] [ 63 ] Selenium acts as the catalytic center of several antioxidant enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase , [ 11 ] and plays a wide variety of other biological roles .

  9. Group (periodic table) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(periodic_table)

    a Group 1 is composed of hydrogen (H) and the alkali metals. Elements of the group have one s-electron in the outer electron shell. Hydrogen is not considered to be an alkali metal as it is not a metal, though it is more analogous to them than any other group. This makes the group somewhat exceptional.
