  2. α-Olefin sulfonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-Olefin_Sulfonate

    α-Olefin sulfonates (also: alpha-olefin sulfonates or AOS) are a group of anionic surfactants, which are used as detergents. [1] The compounds contain a - mostly linear, primary - alkyl R and a monovalent cation M, preferably sodium. [2] The most frequently used example of this group of substances is sodium α-olefin sulfonate (INCI: Sodium ...

  3. Straight-chain terminal alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-chain_terminal_alkene

    Straight-chain terminal alkenes, also called linear alpha olefins (LAO) or normal alpha olefins (NAO), are alkenes (olefins) having a chemical formula C n H 2n, distinguished from other alkenes with a similar molecular formula by being terminal alkenes, in which the double bond occurs at the alpha (α-, 1-or primary) position, and by having a linear (unbranched) hydrocarbon chain.

  4. Terminal alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_alkene

    The double bond of an alpha olefin is between the #1 and #2 (IUPAC) or α and β (common) carbon atoms. In organic chemistry, terminal alkenes (alpha-olefins, α-olefins, or 1-alkenes) are a family of organic compounds which are alkenes (also known as olefins) with a chemical formula CxH2x, distinguished by having a double bond at the primary ...

  5. Polyolefin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyolefin

    An alpha-olefin (or α-olefin) is an alkene where the carbon-carbon double bond starts at the α-carbon atom, i.e. the double bond is between the #1 and #2 carbons in the molecule. Alpha-olefins such as 1-hexene may be used as co-monomers to give an alkyl branched polymer (see chemical structure below), although 1-decene is most commonly used ...

  6. Alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkene

    A 3D model of ethylene, the simplest alkene. In organic chemistry, an alkene, or olefin, is a hydrocarboncontaining a carbon–carbon double bond.[1] The double bond may be internal or in the terminal position. Terminal alkenes are also known as α-olefins. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry(IUPAC) recommends usingthe name ...

  7. Linear alkylbenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_alkylbenzene

    Infobox references. Linear alkylbenzenes (sometimes also known as LAB s) are a family of organic compounds with the formula C 6 H 5 C n H 2n+1. Typically, n lies between 10 and 16, although generally supplied as a tighter cut, such as C 12 -C 15, C 12 -C 13 and C 10 -C 13, for detergent use. [ 1 ] The C n H 2n+1 chain is unbranched.

  8. Decene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decene

    Decene / dɛkiːn / is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H20. Decene contains a chain of ten carbon atoms with one double bond, making it an alkene. There are many isomers of decene depending on the position and geometry of the double bond. Dec-1-ene is the only isomer of industrial importance.

  9. Sulfonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfonate

    The sulfonate ion. In organosulfur chemistry, a sulfonate is a salt, anion or ester of a sulfonic acid. Its formula is R−S (=O)2−O−, containing the functional group − S (= O)2−O−, where R is typically an organyl group, amino group or a halogen atom. Sulfonates are the conjugate bases of sulfonic acids.
