The main structure of chemical names according to IUPAC nomenclature. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has published four sets of rules to standardize chemical nomenclature. There are two main areas: IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry (Red Book) IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry (Blue Book)
Potassium chloride (KCl, or potassium salt) is a metal halide salt composed of potassium and chlorine. It is odorless and has a white or colorless vitreous crystal appearance. The solid dissolves readily in water, and its solutions have a salt-like taste. Potassium chloride can be obtained from ancient dried lake deposits. [7]
Recycling codes on products. Recycling codes are used to identify the materials out of which the item is made, to facilitate easier recycling process.The presence on an item of a recycling code, a chasing arrows logo, or a resin code, is not an automatic indicator that a material is recyclable; it is an explanation of what the item is made of.
Potassium chloride – KCl; Potassium chlorite – KClO 2; Potassium chromate – K 2 CrO 4; Potassium cyanide – KCN; Potassium dichromate – K 2 Cr 2 O 7; Potassium dithionite – K 2 S 2 O 4; Potassium ferrate – K 2 FeO 4; Potassium ferrioxalate – K 3 [Fe(C 2 O 4) 3] Potassium ferricyanide – K 3 [Fe(CN)] 6; Potassium ferrocyanide ...
The main purpose of chemical nomenclature is to disambiguate the spoken or written names of chemical compounds: each name should refer to one compound. Secondarily, each compound should have only one name, although in some cases some alternative names are accepted. Preferably, the name should also represent the structure or chemistry of a compound.
3 Cl 2 + 6 KOH → KClO 3 + 5 KCl + 3 H 2 O. According to X-ray crystallography, potassium chlorate is a dense salt-like structure consisting of chlorate and potassium ions in close association. The crystal structure of potassium chlorate. Color code: red = O, violet = K, green = Cl
The names "caffeine" and "3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione" both signify the same chemical compound.The systematic name encodes the structure and composition of the caffeine molecule in some detail, and provides an unambiguous reference to this compound, whereas the name "caffeine" simply names it.
Chemical symbols are the abbreviations used in chemistry, mainly for chemical elements; but also for functional groups, chemical compounds, and other entities. Element symbols for chemical elements, also known as atomic symbols , normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter capitalised.
