Element: only 1 type of atom; this definition is applied to things both bonded and not to itself. I don't know whether these terms apply microscopically, macroscopically, or both. For example, I think 1 $\ce{H2O}$ molecule is a compound but is a bathtub of them called a mixture (as it contains more than 1 atom type), a compound, or both?
According to the definition of organic compounds on Wikipedia: An organic compound is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. Carbonates, simple oxides of carbon, and cyanide molecules do have carbon, but they are not regarded as organic. The same Wikipedia article on organic ...
This is the definition of chirality and holds true for all compounds, either organic or inorganic. Chirality can manifest in several ways, and most commonly we talk about point chirality . This leads us to the notion of a stereocenter--any point in a molecule, though not necessarily an atom, bearing groups, such that interchanging of any two ...
That said, the high-school definition is too simplistic. It is common for compounds to be an acid, a base and a salt all at the same time; consider for example sodium bicarbonate ($\ce{Na+HCO3-}$). It is made of cations and anions, and therefore is definitely a salt.
33. My textbooks states the Drago's rule in inorganic chemistry as follows: The more electronegative atom prefers the orbital having more p p character, and lone-pairs or less electronegative elements prefer such orbitals, as have more s character. Now, according to hybridization, sp3d = sp2 + pd s p 3 d = s p 2 + p d, sp3d2 = sp +p2d2 s p 3 d ...
Jun 9, 2020 at 5:59. Yes, 1-chloropropane will be considered as a saturated compound because there is no double bond in the carbon chain. Chains (linear or cyclic) and their derivatives without double bonds/ triple bonds in C to C will be considered saturated. – ACR.
1. Volatility depends on four factors for organic compounds: 1) Branched chained hydrocarbons are more volatile than straight chained hydrocarbons. 2) The more branched an hydrocarbon is the more volatile it is. 3) Depending on the bonds i.e hydrogen bond, dipole-dipole intermolecular bond and van der Waals' forces.
8. I think these general rules work: If there is an spX3 s p X 3 hybridized carbon (or nitrogen), the molecular is NOT planar. 2) If there are no spX3 s p X 3 hybridized carbons (or nitrogens), and there is only one spX2 s p X 2 hybridized atom (carbon or nitrogen), it will be planar. 3) If there are no spX3 s p X 3 hybridized atoms, and there ...
Aromatic Compounds — Compounds having aroma (wait, the modern definition is different, I know) Every arene is an aromatic compound but every aromatic compound need not be an arene. Mathematically, $$\text{arene} \subset \text{aromatic compounds}$$ therefore anything which contains a benzene ring has to be aromatic. Some examples of arenes:
Feb 21, 2021 at 15:38. Add a comment. The modern definition of thermodynamic stability is the state of maximum entropy. Some background information is necessary to make sense of this. I hope you will find the following helpful! Phenomenologically, thermodynamic stability is the absence of visible change.
