  2. Hydrogen compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_compounds

    Water molecules have two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. While H 2 is not very reactive under standard conditions, it does form compounds with most elements. Hydrogen can form compounds with elements that are more electronegative, such as halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), or oxygen; in these compounds hydrogen takes on a partial positive charge. [1]

  3. Lists of molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_molecules

    This is an index of lists of molecules (i.e. by year, number of atoms, etc.). Millions of molecules have existed in the universe since before the formation of Earth. Three of them, carbon dioxide , water and oxygen were necessary for the growth of life.

  4. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    In a large sample of adults of all ages and both sexes, the figure for water fraction by weight was found to be 48 ±6% for females and 58 ±8% water for males. [8] Water is ~11% hydrogen by mass but ~67% hydrogen by atomic percent, and these numbers along with the complementary % numbers for oxygen in water, are the largest contributors to ...

  5. Hydrogen ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_ion

    The concentration of hydrogen ions and pH are inversely proportional; in an aqueous solution, an increased concentration of hydrogen ions yields a low pH, and subsequently, an acidic product. By definition, an acid is an ion or molecule that can donate a proton, and when introduced to a solution it will react with water molecules (H 2 O) to ...

  6. Glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose

    A open-chain form of glucose makes up less than 0.02% of the glucose molecules in an aqueous solution at equilibrium. [58] The rest is one of two cyclic hemiacetal forms. In its open-chain form, the glucose molecule has an open (as opposed to cyclic ) unbranched backbone of six carbon atoms, where C-1 is part of an aldehyde group H(C=O)− .

    For substances with an A- or α- prefix such as α-amylase, please see the parent page (in this case Amylase). A23187 (Calcimycin, Calcium Ionophore); Abamectine; Abietic acid

  8. List of sugars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sugars

    This is a list of sugars and sugar products. Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are various types of sugar derived from different sources. Generally speaking, chemical names ending in -ose indicate sugars.

  9. Molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecule

    The simplest of molecules is the hydrogen molecule-ion, H 2 +, and the simplest of all the chemical bonds is the one-electron bond. H 2 + is composed of two positively charged protons and one negatively charged electron , which means that the Schrödinger equation for the system can be solved more easily due to the lack of electron–electron ...
