  2. Chemical compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound

    A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules (or molecular entities) containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds. A molecule consisting of atoms of only one element is therefore not a compound. A compound can be transformed into a different substance by a chemical ...

  3. Inorganic chemistry - Wikipedia

    The structure of the ionic framework in potassium oxide, K 2 O. Inorganic chemistry deals with synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. This field covers chemical compounds that are not carbon-based, which are the subjects of organic chemistry. The distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, as there ...

  4. Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

    Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.

  5. Chemical nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_nomenclature

    Chemical nomenclature. Chemical nomenclature is a set of rules to generate systematic names for chemical compounds. The nomenclature used most frequently worldwide is the one created and developed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). IUPAC Nomenclature ensures that each compound (and its various isomers) have only ...

  6. IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../IUPAC_nomenclature_of_chemistry

    Use. IUPAC nomenclature is used for the naming of chemical compounds, based on their chemical composition and their structure. [1] For example, one can deduce that 1-chloropropane has a Chlorine atom on the first carbon in the 3-carbon propane chain.

  8. Glossary of chemical formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemical_formulae

    This is a list of common chemical compounds with chemical formulae and CAS numbers, indexed by formula. This complements alternative listing at list of inorganic compounds. There is no complete list of chemical compounds since by nature the list would be infinite.

  9. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    A chemical formula used for a series of compounds that differ from each other by a constant unit is called a general formula. It generates a homologous series of chemical formulae. For example, alcohols may be represented by the formula CnH2n + 1OH (n ≥ 1), giving the homologs methanol, ethanol, propanol for 1 ≤ n ≤ 3.
