  2. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. [1][2][3] A Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded ...

  3. Gilbert N. Lewis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_N._Lewis

    Gilbert Newton Lewis ForMemRS [1] (October 23 [2][3][4] or October 25, 1875 – March 23, 1946) [1][5][6] was an American physical chemist and a dean of the college of chemistry at University of California, Berkeley. [3][7] Lewis was best known for his discovery of the covalent bond and his concept of electron pairs; his Lewis dot structures ...

  4. Lewis acids and bases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

    The most common Lewis bases are anions. The strength of Lewis basicity correlates with the pK a of the parent acid: acids with high pK a 's give good Lewis bases. As usual, a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base. Examples of Lewis bases based on the general definition of electron pair donor include: simple anions, such as H − and F −

  5. Lewis number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_number

    Lewis number. In fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, the Lewis number (denoted Le) is a dimensionless number defined as the ratio of thermal diffusivity to mass diffusivity. It is used to characterize fluid flows where there is simultaneous heat and mass transfer. The Lewis number puts the thickness of the thermal boundary layer in relation to ...

  6. Electron pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_pair

    In chemistry, an electron pair or Lewis pair consists of two electrons that occupy the same molecular orbital but have opposite spins. Gilbert N. Lewis introduced the concepts of both the electron pair and the covalent bond in a landmark paper he published in 1916. [1][2] MO diagrams depicting covalent (left) and polar covalent (right) bonding ...

  7. Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Molecular_Input...

    SMILES generation algorithm for ciprofloxacin: break cycles, then write as branches off a main backbone. The Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) is a specification in the form of a line notation for describing the structure of chemical species using short ASCII strings. SMILES strings can be imported by most molecule editors ...

  8. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.
