  2. Ammonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

    Ammonia gas reacts with metallic sodium to give sodamide, NaNH 2. [38] With chlorine, monochloramine is formed. Pentavalent ammonia is known as λ 5-amine, nitrogen pentahydride decomposes spontaneously into trivalent ammonia (λ 3-amine) and hydrogen gas at normal conditions. This substance was once investigated as a possible solid rocket fuel ...

  3. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    The hydrogen bond is an attractive interaction between a hydrogen atom from a molecule or a molecular fragment X−H in which X is more electronegative than H, and an atom or a group of atoms in the same or another molecule, in which there is evidence of bond formation.

  4. Chemical compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound

    Chemical compounds can be molecular compounds held together by covalent bonds, salts held together by ionic bonds, intermetallic compounds held together by metallic bonds, or the subset of chemical complexes that are held together by coordinate covalent bonds. [15] Pure chemical elements are generally not considered chemical compounds, failing ...

  5. Solution (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt in water.The salt is the solute and the water the solvent. In chemistry, a solution is defined by IUPAC as "A liquid or solid phase containing more than one substance, when for convenience one (or more) substance, which is called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, which are called solutes.

  6. Chemical substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_substance

    Pure water is an example of a chemical substance, with a constant composition of two hydrogen atoms bonded to a single oxygen atom (i.e. H 2 O). The atomic ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is always 2:1 in every molecule of water. Pure water will tend to boil near 100 °C

  7. Inorganic nonaqueous solvent - Wikipedia

    Several (SO 2, SO 2 ClF, N 2 O 4) are gases near room temperature, so they are handled using vacuum-line techniques. The generation of [IS 7] + and [BrS 7] + are illustrative. These highly electrophilic salts are prepared in SO 2 solution. [5] The preparation of [SBr 3] + salts also calls for a mixed solvent composed of SO 2 and SO 2 FCl. [6]

  8. Ammonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium

    The lone electron pair on the nitrogen atom (N) in ammonia, represented as a line above the N, forms a coordinate bond with a proton (H +). After that, all four NH bonds are equivalent, being polar covalent bonds. The ion has a tetrahedral structure and is isoelectronic with methane and the borohydride anion.

  9. Amine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine

    Amine. In chemistry, amines (/ ə ˈ m iː n, ˈ æ m iː n /, [1] [2] UK also / ˈ eɪ m iː n / [3]) are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.Formally, amines are derivatives of ammonia (NH 3 (in which the bond angle between the nitrogen and hydrogen is 107°), wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an ...
