Anhydrous cobalt(II) fluoride. Cobalt(II) fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula (CoF 2).It is a pink crystalline solid compound [1] [2] which is antiferromagnetic at low temperatures (T N =37.7 K) [3] The formula is given for both the red tetragonal crystal, (CoF 2), and the tetrahydrate red orthogonal crystal, (CoF 2 ·4H 2 O).
The main purpose of chemical nomenclature is to disambiguate the spoken or written names of chemical compounds: each name should refer to one compound. Secondarily, each compound should have only one name, although in some cases some alternative names are accepted. Preferably, the name should also represent the structure or chemistry of a compound.
Carbonyl fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula C O F 2. It is a carbon oxohalide. This gas, like its analog phosgene, is colourless and highly toxic. The molecule is planar with C 2v symmetry, bond lengths of 1.174 Å (C=O) and 1.312 Å (C–F), and an F–C–F bond angle of 108.0°. [3]
Where an acid has both a systematic and a common name (like CH 3 COOH, for example, which is known as both acetic acid and as ethanoic acid), its salts can be named from either parent name. Thus, KCH 3 CO 2 can be named as potassium acetate or as potassium ethanoate.
The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks. The suffix -ol appears in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the ...
The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.
The IUPAC name of alcohols can derive from the following rules: Identify the longest carbon chain, and number each carbon. Name the base alkane according to the organic nomenclature rules. Identify the hydroxyl group and which carbon it is on. To be alcohol, the -OH must be bonded to a carbon.
Elements that have not been given trivial names by IUPAC may be referred to either by IUPAC systematic element names and symbols, or by atomic numbers. So ununennium and element 119 are both correct, and symbols Uue, 119, E119 may all be used in text. However, for natural disambiguation, the article titles should be at the systematic names.
