  2. Triple bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bond

    A triple bond in chemistry is a chemical bond between two atoms involving six bonding electrons instead of the usual two in a covalent single bond. Triple bonds are stronger than the equivalent single bonds or double bonds, with a bond order of three. The most common triple bond is in a nitrogen N 2 molecule; the second most common is that ...

  3. List of unsolved problems in chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Protein folding problem: Is it possible to predict the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of a polypeptide sequence based solely on the sequence and environmental information? Inverse protein-folding problem: Is it possible to design a polypeptide sequence which will adopt a given structure under certain environmental conditions?

  4. Transition metal phosphate complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal_phosphate...

    Iron(III) phosphate, contemplated as a cathode material for batteries, is one example. Vanadyl phosphate (VOPO 4 (H 2 O)) is a commercial catalyst for oxidation reactions. Many metal phosphates occur as minerals.

  5. Ball-and-stick model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-and-stick_model

    Double and triple bonds are usually represented by two or three curved rods, respectively, or alternately by correctly positioned sticks for the sigma and pi bonds. In a good model, the angles between the rods should be the same as the angles between the bonds , and the distances between the centers of the spheres should be proportional to the ...

  6. Addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition_reaction

    In organic chemistry, an addition reaction is an organic reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form a larger molecule called the adduct. [1] [2] An addition reaction is limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds. Examples include a molecule with a carbon–carbon double bond (an alkene) or a triple bond (an alkyne).

  7. Transition metal carbyne complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal_carbyne...

    This triple bond consists of a σ-bond and two π-bonds. [2] The HOMO of the carbyne ligand interacts with the LUMO of the metal to create the σ-bond. The two π-bonds are formed when the two HOMO orbitals of the metal back-donate to the LUMO of the carbyne.

  8. Carbon–nitrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–nitrogen_bond

    A carbon–nitrogen bond is a covalent bond between carbon and nitrogen and is one of the most abundant bonds in organic chemistry and biochemistry. [ 1 ] Nitrogen has five valence electrons and in simple amines it is trivalent , with the two remaining electrons forming a lone pair .

  9. Hydroboration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroboration

    One example of a monoalkylborane is thexylborane (ThxBH 2), produced by the hydroboration of tetramethylethylene: [14] B 2 H 6 + 2 Me 2 C=CMe 2 → [Me 2 CHCMe 2 BH 2] 2. A chiral example is monoisopinocampheylborane. Although often written as IpcBH 2, it is a dimer [IpcBH 2] 2. It is obtained by hydroboration of (−)‐α‐pinene with borane ...
