  2. Sodium sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfide

    Sodium sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula Na 2 S, or more commonly its hydrate Na 2 S·9H 2 O.Both the anhydrous and the hydrated salts in pure crystalline form are colorless solids, although technical grades of sodium sulfide are generally yellow to brick red owing to the presence of polysulfides and commonly supplied as a crystalline mass, in flake form, or as a fused solid.

  3. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    [1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [ 4 ] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_compounds

    Sodium metal is highly reducing, with the standard reduction potential for the Na + /Na couple being −2.71 volts, [3] though potassium and lithium have even more negative potentials. [4] The thermal, fluidic, chemical, and nuclear properties of molten sodium metal have caused it to be one of the main coolants of choice for the fast breeder ...

  5. Sodium sulfite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfite

    Structure of anhydrous sodium sulfite. Sodium sulfite can be prepared by treating a solution of sodium hydroxide with sulfur dioxide. When conducted in warm water, Na 2 SO 3 initially precipitates as a white solid. With more SO 2, the solid dissolves to give the disulfite, which crystallizes upon cooling. [2]

  6. Lewis acids and bases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_acids_and_bases

    The concept originated with Gilbert N. Lewis who studied chemical bonding. In 1923, Lewis wrote An acid substance is one which can employ an electron lone pair from another molecule in completing the stable group of one of its own atoms. [2] [17] The Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory was published in the same year. The two theories are ...

  7. Sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium

    Sodium is a chemical element; it has symbol Na (from Neo-Latin natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. Sodium is an alkali metal, being in group 1 of the periodic table. Its only stable isotope is 23 Na. The free metal does not occur in nature and must be prepared from compounds.

  8. Electron pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_pair

    In chemistry, an electron pair or Lewis pair consists of two electrons that occupy the same molecular orbital but have opposite spins. Gilbert N. Lewis introduced the concepts of both the electron pair and the covalent bond in a landmark paper he published in 1916. [1] [2]

  9. Sodium hydrosulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydrosulfide

    Sodium hydrosulfide is the chemical compound with the formula NaSH. This compound is the product of the half-neutralization of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). NaSH and sodium sulfide are used industrially, often for similar purposes. Solid NaSH is colorless. The solid has an odor of H 2 S owing
