  2. Electrophile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophile

    For example, ethene + bromine → 1,2-dibromoethane: C 2 H 4 + Br 2 → BrCH 2 CH 2 Br. This takes the form of 3 main steps shown below; [3] Forming of a π-complex The electrophilic Br-Br molecule interacts with electron-rich alkene molecule to form a π-complex 1. Forming of a three-membered bromonium ion

  3. Superelectrophilic anion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superelectrophilic_anion

    The reduced noble gas binding strength can be attributed to a less electrophilic vacant boron atom in the case of X = F, because the atomic charge of the vacant boron calculated using the Natural Population Analysis (NPA) method is + 0.45 e, while it is much larger for the other halogens (for X = Cl, for example, + 0.64 e).

  4. Organofluorine chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organofluorine_chemistry

    In 1957, the anticancer activity of 5-fluorouracil was described. This report provided one of the first examples of rational design of drugs. [46] This discovery sparked a surge of interest in fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrichemicals. The discovery of the noble gas compounds, e.g. XeF 4, provided a host of new reagents starting in the ...

  5. Fischer carbene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_carbene

    Because the π donation is weak, the carbene carbon is electrophilic in nature. [1] Because of this bonding property, Fischer carbenes often feature: low oxidation state metal center; middle and late transition metals Fe(0), Mo(0), Cr(0) π-acceptor metal ligands; π-donor substituents on the carbene atom such as alkoxy and alkylated amino groups.

  6. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately. Blue type items have an article available by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_compound

    Chloramphenicol is a rare example of a naturally occurring nitro compound. At least some naturally occurring nitro groups arose by the oxidation of amino groups. [17] 2-Nitrophenol is an aggregation pheromone of ticks. Examples of nitro compounds are rare in nature. 3-Nitropropionic acid found in fungi and plants .

  8. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  9. Electric discharge in gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_discharge_in_gases

    Electric discharge in gases occurs when electric current flows through a gaseous medium due to ionization of the gas. Depending on several factors, the discharge may radiate visible light. The properties of electric discharges in gases are studied in connection with design of lighting sources and in the design of high voltage electrical equipment.
