Anhydrous cobalt(II) fluoride. Cobalt(II) fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula (CoF 2).It is a pink crystalline solid compound [1] [2] which is antiferromagnetic at low temperatures (T N =37.7 K) [3] The formula is given for both the red tetragonal crystal, (CoF 2), and the tetrahydrate red orthogonal crystal, (CoF 2 ·4H 2 O).
The main purpose of chemical nomenclature is to disambiguate the spoken or written names of chemical compounds: each name should refer to one compound. Secondarily, each compound should have only one name, although in some cases some alternative names are accepted. Preferably, the name should also represent the structure or chemistry of a compound.
Carbonyl fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula C O F 2. It is a carbon oxohalide. This gas, like its analog phosgene, is colourless and highly toxic. The molecule is planar with C 2v symmetry, bond lengths of 1.174 Å (C=O) and 1.312 Å (C–F), and an F–C–F bond angle of 108.0°. [3]
Cobalt(II) nitrate exists in the anhydrous form and the hydrate form, of which the hexahydrate is the most common. Cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O) is a red deliquescence crystal that is easily soluble in water, [ 12 ] and its molecule contains cobalt(II) hydrated ions ([Co(H 2 O) 6 ] 2+ ) and free nitrate ions.

Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is with compounds with very complex names, is a repository for some names that may be considered unusual. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the ...
The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks. The suffix -ol appears in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the ...
A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z). [ 1 ] The definitive visualisation of all 118 elements is the periodic table of the elements , whose history along the principles of the periodic law was one of the founding ...
Where an acid has both a systematic and a common name (like CH 3 COOH, for example, which is known as both acetic acid and as ethanoic acid), its salts can be named from either parent name. Thus, KCH 3 CO 2 can be named as potassium acetate or as potassium ethanoate.
