  2. IUPAC numerical multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_numerical_multiplier

    The numbers 200-900 would be confused easily with 22 to 29 if they were used in chemistry. khīlioi = 1000, diskhīlioi = 2000, triskhīlioi = 3000, etc. 13 to 19 are formed by starting with the Greek word for the number of ones, followed by και (the Greek word for 'and'), followed by δέκα (the Greek word for 'ten').

  3. Spiro compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_compound

    In organic chemistry, spiro compounds are compounds that have at least two molecular rings sharing one common atom. Simple spiro compounds are bicyclic (having just two rings). [2]: SP-0 [3]: 653, 839 The presence of only one common atom connecting the two rings distinguishes spiro compounds from other bicyclics.

  4. Avogadro constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro_constant

    The Avogadro constant, commonly denoted N A [1] or L, [2] is an SI defining constant with an exact value of 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 mol −1 (reciprocal moles). [3] [4] It is this defined number of constituent particles (usually molecules, atoms, ions, or ion pairs—in general, entities) per mole and used as a normalization factor in relating the amount of substance, n(X), in a sample of a ...

  5. Chemical nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_nomenclature

    Chemical nomenclature is a set of rules to generate systematic names for chemical compounds.The nomenclature used most frequently worldwide is the one created and developed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

  6. Damköhler numbers - Wikipedia

    Alternatively, one can graph the expressions and see where they intersect with the line given by the inverse Damköhler number to see the solution for conversion. In the plot below, the y-axis is the inverse Damköhler number and the x-axis the conversion. The rule-of-thumb inverse Damköhler numbers have been placed as dashed horizontal lines.

  7. CAS Registry Number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_Registry_Number

    Screenshot of the CAS Common Chemistry database with information about caffeine ().. A CAS Registry Number [1] (also referred to as CAS RN [2] or informally CAS Number) is a unique identification number, assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) in the US to every chemical substance described in the open scientific literature, in order to index the substance in the CAS Registry.

  8. Valence (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, the valence (US spelling) or valency (British spelling) of an atom is a measure of its combining capacity with other atoms when it forms chemical compounds or molecules. Valence is generally understood to be the number of chemical bonds that each atom of a given chemical element typically forms.

  9. Clar's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clar's_rule

    In organic and physical organic chemistry, Clar's rule is an empirical rule that relates the chemical stability of a molecule to its aromaticity.It was introduced in 1972 by the Austrian organic chemist Erich Clar in his book The Aromatic Sextet.
