  2. Potassium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate

    Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with a sharp, salty, bitter taste and the chemical formula K N O 3. It is an ionic salt of potassium ions K + and nitrate ions NO 3−, and is therefore an alkali metal nitrate. It occurs in nature as a mineral, niter (or nitre outside the US). [ 5 ]

  3. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. [1][2][3] A Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded ...

  4. Potassium nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrite

    Potassium nitrite (distinct from potassium nitrate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula K N O 2. It is an ionic salt of potassium ions K + and nitrite ions NO 2−, which forms a white or slightly yellow, hygroscopic crystalline powder that is soluble in water. [ 1 ]

  5. Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brønsted–Lowry_acid...

    The Brønsted–Lowry theory (also called proton theory of acids and bases[ 1 ]) is an acid–base reaction theory which was first developed by Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and Thomas Martin Lowry independently in 1923. [ 2 ][ 3 ] The basic concept of this theory is that when an acid and a base react with each other, the acid forms its conjugate ...

  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 possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.

  7. Niter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niter

    Niter is a colorless to white mineral crystallizing in the orthorhombic crystal system. It is the mineral form of potassium nitrate, KNO3, [ 6 ] and is soft (Mohs hardness 2), [ 7 ] highly soluble in water, [ 6 ] and easily fusible. Its crystal structure resembles that of aragonite, with potassium replacing calcium and nitrate replacing ...

  8. Linnett double-quartet theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnett_Double-Quartet_Theory

    Right: Simplified diagram of the LDQ structure of O 3, showing electrons in non-coincident pairs using thin lines and a coincident electron pair using a thick line. Linnett double-quartet theory (LDQ) is a method of describing the bonding in molecules which involves separating the electrons depending on their spin, placing them into separate ...

  9. Sodium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_nitrate

    Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula Na N O 3. This alkali metal nitrate salt is also known as Chile saltpeter (large deposits of which were historically mined in Chile) [ 4 ][ 5 ] to distinguish it from ordinary saltpeter, potassium nitrate.
