Structural isomer. In chemistry, a structural isomer (or constitutional isomer in the IUPAC nomenclature [ 1 ]) of a compound is another compound whose molecule has the same number of atoms of each element, but with logically distinct bonds between them. [ 2 ][ 3 ] The term metamer was formerly used for the same concept. [ 4 ]
trans -but-2-ene. Cis–trans isomerism, also known as geometric isomerism, describes certain arrangements of atoms within molecules. The prefixes " cis " and " trans " are from Latin: "this side of" and "the other side of", respectively. [ 1 ] In the context of chemistry, cis indicates that the functional groups (substituents) are on the same ...
1,2-Dimethylcyclopropane is a cycloalkane consisting of a cyclopropane ring substituted with two methyl groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms. [1] It has three stereoisomers, one cis -isomer and a pair of trans - enantiomers, which differ depending on the orientation of the two methyl groups. As with other cyclopropanes, ring tension results ...
Molecular geometry. Geometry of the water molecule with values for O-H bond length and for H-O-H bond angle between two bonds. Molecular geometry is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms that constitute a molecule. It includes the general shape of the molecule as well as bond lengths, bond angles, torsional angles and any other ...
1,2-Diaminocyclohexane (DACH) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 (CHNH 2) 2. It is a mixture of three stereoisomers: cis -1,2-diaminocyclohexane and both enantiomers of trans -1,2-diaminocyclohexane. The mixture is a colorless, corrosive liquid, although older samples can appear yellow. It is often called DCH-99 and also DACH.
IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry. In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended [1][2] by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). It is published in the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (informally called the Blue Book). [3]
Crystal structure of table salt (sodium in purple, chlorine in green) In crystallography, crystal structure is a description of ordered arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline material. [1] Ordered structures occur from intrinsic nature of constituent particles to form symmetric patterns that repeat along the principal ...
The DNA model shown (far right) is a space-filling, or CPK, model of the DNA double helix. Animated molecular models, such as the wire, or skeletal, type shown at the top of this article, allow one to visually explore the three-dimensional (3D) structure of DNA. Another type of DNA model is the space-filling, or CPK, model.
