  2. Hydrogen sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide

    Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 S. It is a colorless chalcogen-hydride gas , and is toxic, corrosive, and flammable, with trace amounts in ambient atmosphere having a characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs . [ 11 ]

  3. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end. Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Molecular geometry influences several properties of a substance including its reactivity, polarity, phase of matter, color, magnetism and biological activity. [1] [2] [3] The angles between bonds that an atom forms depend only weakly on the rest of molecule, i.e. they can be understood as approximately local and hence transferable properties.

  5. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    Polarizability usually refers to the tendency of matter, when subjected to an electric field, to acquire an electric dipole moment in proportion to that applied field. It is a property of particles with an electric charge.

  6. Hydrogen disulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_disulfide

    The deuterated form of hydrogen disulfide, deuterium disulfide D−S−S−D (dideuterodisulfane), has a similar geometry to H−S−S−H, but its tunneling time is slower, making it a convenient test case for the quantum Zeno effect, in which frequent observation of a quantum system suppresses its normal evolution.

  7. Thiourea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiourea

    The global annual production of thiourea is around 10,000 tonnes. About 40% is produced in Germany, another 40% in China, and 20% in Japan. Thiourea is manufactured by the reaction of hydrogen sulfide with calcium cyanamide in the presence of carbon dioxide. [6] CaCN 2 + 3 H 2 S → Ca(SH) 2 + (NH 2) 2 CS 2 CaCN 2 + Ca(SH) 2 + 6 H 2 O → 2 (NH ...

  8. Electronegativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronegativity

    The higher the associated electronegativity, the more an atom or a substituent group attracts electrons. Electronegativity serves as a simple way to quantitatively estimate the bond energy, and the sign and magnitude of a bond's chemical polarity, which characterizes a bond along the continuous scale from covalent to ionic bonding.

  9. Odor detection threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odor_detection_threshold

    The odor detection threshold is the lowest concentration of a certain odor compound that is perceivable by the human sense of smell.The threshold of a chemical compound is determined in part by its shape, polarity, partial charges, and molecular mass.
