  2. Formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde

    Formaldehyde (/ f ɔːr ˈ m æ l d ɪ h aɪ d / ⓘ for-MAL-di-hide, US also / f ə r-/ ⓘ fər-) (systematic name methanal) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 2 O and structure H−CHO, more precisely H 2 C=O. The compound is a pungent, colourless gas that polymerises spontaneously into paraformaldehyde.

  3. Aldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldehyde

    Aldehyde structure. In organic chemistry, an aldehyde (/ ˈ æ l d ɪ h aɪ d /) is an organic compound containing a functional group with the structure R−CH=O. [1] The functional group itself (without the "R" side chain) can be referred to as an aldehyde but can also be classified as a formyl group. Aldehydes are a common motif in many ...

  4. Formox process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formox_process

    Industrially, formaldehyde is produced by catalytic oxidation of methanol. The most commonly used catalysts are silver metal or a mixture of an iron oxide with molybdenum and/or vanadium . In the recently more commonly used Formox process using iron oxide and molybdenum and/or vanadium, methanol and oxygen react at 300-400°C to produce ...

    Methanediol, also known as formaldehyde monohydrate or methylene glycol, is an organic compound with chemical formula CH 2 (OH) 2. It is the simplest geminal diol . In aqueous solutions it coexists with oligomers (short polymers).

  6. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    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.
