  2. Orthoformic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthoformic_acid

    Orthoformic acid or methanetriol is a chemical compound with the formula H C(OH) 3. In this molecule, the central carbon atom is bound to one hydrogen and three hydroxyl groups. Orthoformic acid was long held to be a hypothetical chemical compound , as it was expected to decompose instantly into formic acid and water, making it too unstable to ...

    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.

  4. Hydroxymethyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxymethyl_group

    It consists of a methylene bridge (−CH 2 − unit) bonded to a hydroxyl group (−OH). This makes the hydroxymethyl group an alcohol. It has the identical chemical formula with the methoxy group (−O−CH 3) that differs only in the attachment site and orientation to the rest of the molecule. However, their chemical properties are different ...

  5. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    For simple molecules, a condensed (or semi-structural) formula is a type of chemical formula that may fully imply a correct structural formula. For example, ethanol may be represented by the condensed chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 OH, and dimethyl ether by the condensed formula CH 3 OCH 3.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheating_in_video_games

    Cheating in video games involves a video game player using various methods to create an advantage beyond normal gameplay, usually in order to make the game easier.Cheats may be activated from within the game itself (a cheat code implemented by the original game developers), or created by third-party software (a game trainer or debugger) or hardware (a cheat cartridge).

  7. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3. If a higher priority group is present (such as an aldehyde , ketone , or carboxylic acid ), then the prefix hydroxy- is used, [ 19 ] e.g., as in 1-hydroxy-2 ...

    A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.

  9. Orthocarbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthocarbonic_acid

    Orthocarbonic acid, carbon hydroxide, methanetetrol is the name given to a hypothetical compound with the chemical formula H 4 CO 4 or C(OH) 4. Its molecular structure consists of a single carbon atom bonded to four hydroxyl groups. It would be therefore a fourfold alcohol.
