  2. Silicon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide

    The molecular SiO 2 has a linear structure like CO 2. It has been produced by combining silicon monoxide (SiO) with oxygen in an argon matrix. The dimeric silicon dioxide, (SiO 2) 2 has been obtained by reacting O 2 with matrix isolated dimeric silicon monoxide, (Si 2 O 2). In dimeric silicon dioxide there are two oxygen atoms bridging between ...

  3. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    [1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

  4. Binary compounds of silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_compounds_of_silicon

    Experimental iron-silicon phase diagram. Binary compounds of silicon are binary chemical compounds containing silicon and one other chemical element. [1] Technically the term silicide is reserved for any compounds containing silicon bonded to a more electropositive element. Binary silicon compounds can be grouped into several classes.

  5. Silicon–oxygen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon–oxygen_bond

    A silicon–oxygen bond (Si−O bond) is a chemical bond between silicon and oxygen atoms that can be found in many inorganic and organic compounds. [1] In a silicon–oxygen bond, electrons are shared unequally between the two atoms, with oxygen taking the larger share due to its greater electronegativity.

  6. Silicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate

    Structure of the orthosilicate anion SiO 4− 4. A silicate is any member of a family of polyatomic anions consisting of silicon and oxygen, usually with the general formula [SiO (4-2x)− 4−x] n, where 0 ≤ x < 2. The family includes orthosilicate SiO 4− 4 (x = 0), metasilicate SiO 2− 3 (x = 1), and pyrosilicate Si 2 O 6− 7 (x = 0.5 ...

  7. Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Molecular_Input...

    The Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) is a specification in the form of a line notation for describing the structure of chemical species using short ASCII strings. SMILES strings can be imported by most molecule editors for conversion back into two-dimensional drawings or three-dimensional models of the molecules.

  8. 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 possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.

  9. Lone pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_pair

    Lone pairs (shown as pairs of dots) in the Lewis structure of hydroxide. In science, a lone pair refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom in a covalent bond [1] and is sometimes called an unshared pair or non-bonding pair. Lone pairs are found in the outermost electron shell of atoms.
