  2. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Another name is dihydrogen monoxide, which is a rarely used name of water, and mostly used in the dihydrogen monoxide parody. Other systematic names for water include hydroxic acid, hydroxylic acid, and hydrogen hydroxide, using acid and base names. [j] None of these exotic names are used widely. The polarized form of the water molecule, H + OH −

  3. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    'Dihydrogen monoxide' is a technically correct but rarely used chemical name of water. This name has been used in a series of hoaxes and pranks that mock scientific illiteracy. This began in 1983, when an April Fools' Day article appeared in a newspaper in Durand, Michigan. The false story consisted of safety concerns about the substance. [251]

  4. 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.

  5. Fatty acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid

    Fatty acids are broken down to CO 2 and water by the intra-cellular mitochondria through beta oxidation and the citric acid cycle. In the final step ( oxidative phosphorylation ), reactions with oxygen release a lot of energy, captured in the form of large quantities of ATP .

  7. Sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium

    The chemical abbreviation for sodium was first published in 1814 by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in his system of atomic symbols, [46] [47] and is an abbreviation of the element's Neo-Latin name natrium, which refers to the Egyptian natron, [42] a natural mineral salt mainly consisting of hydrated sodium carbonate. Natron historically had several ...

  8. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Other ionic compounds are known as salts and can be formed by acid–base reactions. [58] Salts that produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water are called alkali salts, and salts that produce hydrogen ions when dissolved in water are called acid salts. If the compound is the result of a reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the ...

  9. Acid salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_salt

    Acid salts are a class of salts that produce an acidic solution after being dissolved in a solvent. Its formation as a substance has a greater electrical conductivity than that of the pure solvent. [1] An acidic solution formed by acid salt is made during partial neutralization of diprotic or polyprotic acids.
