2. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

   A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

3. Self-ionization of water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-ionization_of_water

   The self-ionization of water (also autoionization of water, autoprotolysis of water, autodissociation of water, or simply dissociation of water) is an ionization reaction in pure water or in an aqueous solution, in which a water molecule, H 2 O, deprotonates (loses the nucleus of one of its hydrogen atoms) to become a hydroxide ion, OH −.

4. Ion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

   When writing the chemical formula for an ion, its net charge is written in superscript immediately after the chemical structure for the molecule/atom. The net charge is written with the magnitude before the sign; that is, a doubly charged cation is indicated as 2+ instead of +2 .

5. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

   The Hill system (or Hill notation) is a system of writing empirical chemical formulae, molecular chemical formulae and components of a condensed formula such that the number of carbon atoms in a molecule is indicated first, the number of hydrogen atoms next, and then the number of all other chemical elements subsequently, in alphabetical order ...

6. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

   Another shorthand structural diagram is the skeletal formula (also known as a bond-line formula or carbon skeleton diagram). In a skeletal formula, carbon atoms are not signified by the symbol C but by the vertices of the lines. Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon are not shown—they can be inferred by counting the number of bonds to a particular ...

7. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

   The circumstances under which a compound will have ionic or covalent character can typically be understood using Fajans' rules, which use only charges and the sizes of each ion. According to these rules, compounds with the most ionic character will have large positive ions with a low charge, bonded to a small negative ion with a high charge. [25]

8. IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

   Hydrates are ionic compounds that have absorbed water. They are named as the ionic compound followed by a numerical prefix and -hydrate. The numerical prefixes used are listed below (see IUPAC numerical multiplier): mono-di-tri-tetra-penta-hexa-hepta-octa-nona-deca-For example, CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O is "copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate".

9. Formula unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_unit

   In chemistry, a formula unit is the smallest unit of a non-molecular substance, such as an ionic compound, covalent network solid, or metal. [1] [2] It can also refer to the chemical formula for that unit. Those structures do not consist of discrete molecules, and so for them, the term formula unit is used.
