Cations are positively (+) charged ions while anions are negatively (−) charged. This can be remembered with the help of the following mnemonics. Cats have paws ⇔ Cations are pawsitive. [27] Ca+ion: The letter t in cation looks like a + (plus) sign. [28] An anion is a negative ion. (An egative ion ⇒ Anion). [29]
formula of a carboxylate ion. Salts of carboxylic acids are named following the usual cation-then-anion conventions used for ionic compounds in both IUPAC and common nomenclature systems. The name of the carboxylate anion (R−C(=O)O −) is derived from that of the parent acid by replacing the "–oic acid" ending with "–oate" or "carboxylate."
A cyclic ether and high-boiling solvent (b.p. 101.1 °C). Tetrahydrofuran (THF) A cyclic ether, one of the most polar simple ethers that is used as a solvent. Anisole (methoxybenzene) An aryl ether and a major constituent of the essential oil of anise seed. Crown ethers: Cyclic polyethers that are used as phase transfer catalysts. Polyethylene ...
Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, IUPAC Recommendations 2005 is the 2005 version of Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry (which is informally called the Red Book). It is a collection of rules for naming inorganic compounds, as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
The cation is always named first. Ions can be metals, non-metals or polyatomic ions. Therefore, the name of the metal or positive polyatomic ion is followed by the name of the non-metal or negative polyatomic ion. The positive ion retains its element name whereas for a single non-metal anion the ending is changed to -ide.
The general structure of a silyl enol ether. In organosilicon chemistry, silyl enol ethers are a class of organic compounds that share the common functional group R 3 Si−O−CR=CR 2, composed of an enolate (R 3 C−O−R) bonded to a silane (SiR 4) through its oxygen end and an ethene group (R 2 C=CR 2) as its carbon end.
The high affinity of 18-crown-6 for potassium ions contributes to its toxicity. The smallest crown ether still capable of binding cations is 8-crown-4, [1] with the largest experimentally confirmed crown ether being 81-crown-27. [2] Crown ethers are not the only macrocyclic ligands that have affinity for the potassium cation.
Basic IUPAC inorganic nomenclature has two main parts: the cation and the anion. The cation is the name for the positively charged ion and the anion is the name for the negatively charged ion. [14] An example of IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry is potassium chlorate (KClO 3): Potassium chlorate "Potassium" is the cation name.
