  2. Sulfur hexafluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_hexafluoride

    Sulfur hexafluoride or sulphur hexafluoride (British spelling) is an inorganic compound with the formula SF 6. It is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable, and non-toxic gas. SF 6 has an octahedral geometry, consisting of six fluorine atoms attached to a central sulfur atom. It is a hypervalent molecule. [citation needed] Typical for a nonpolar ...

  3. Hexafluorophosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexafluorophosphate

    Practical uses of the hexafluorophosphate ion typically exploit one or more of the following properties: that it is a non-coordinating anion; that hexafluorophosphate compounds are typically soluble in organic solvents, particularly polar ones, but have low solubility in aqueous solution; or, that it has a high degree of stability, including ...

  4. Octahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedral_molecular_geometry

    When an anionic ligand replaces a coordinated water molecule the reaction is called an anation. The reverse reaction, water replacing an anionic ligand, is called aquation. For example, the [CoCl(NH 3) 5] 2+ slowly yields [Co(NH 3) 5 (H 2 O)] 3+ in water, especially in the presence of acid or base. Addition of concentrated HCl converts the aquo ...

  5. Hypervalent molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervalent_molecule

    Hypervalent iodine compounds are useful reagents in organic chemistry (e.g. Dess–Martin periodinane) Tetra-, penta- and hexavalent phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur compounds (e.g. PCl 5, PF 5, SF 6, sulfuranes and persulfuranes) Noble gas compounds (ex. xenon tetrafluoride, XeF 4) Halogen polyfluorides (ex. chlorine pentafluoride, ClF 5)

  6. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    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 geometrical parameters that determine the position of each atom.

  7. 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 connected to one another.

  8. Skeletal formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_formula

    The skeletal formula of the antidepressant drug escitalopram, featuring skeletal representations of heteroatoms, a triple bond, phenyl groups and stereochemistry. The skeletal formula, line-angle formula, bond-line formula or shorthand formula of an organic compound is a type of molecular structural formula that serves as a shorthand representation of a molecule's bonding and some details of ...

  9. Hexafluorosilicic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexafluorosilicic_acid

    Hexafluorosilicic acid is produced commercially from fluoride-containing minerals that also contain silicates. Specifically, apatite and fluorapatite are treated with sulfuric acid to give phosphoric acid, a precursor to several water-soluble fertilizers.
