  2. Camphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camphor

    Camphor can also be synthetically produced from oil of turpentine. The compound is chiral, existing in two possible enantiomers as shown in the structural diagrams. The structure on the left is the naturally occurring (+)-camphor ((1R,4R)-bornan-2-one), while its mirror image shown on the right is the (−)-camphor ((1S,4S)-bornan-2-one ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    For example, the compound dichlorine hexoxide has an empirical formula ClO 3, and molecular formula Cl 2 O 6, but in liquid or solid forms, this compound is more correctly shown by an ionic condensed formula [ClO 2] + [ClO 4] −, which illustrates that this compound consists of [ClO 2] + ions and [ClO 4] − ions. In such cases, the condensed ...
