    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound

    A molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] [ 18 ] A molecule may be homonuclear , that is, it consists of atoms of one chemical element, as with two atoms in the oxygen molecule (O 2 ); or it may be heteronuclear , a chemical compound composed of more than one element, as with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomic_molecule

    A space-filling model of the diatomic molecule dinitrogen, N 2. Diatomic molecules (from Greek di- 'two') are molecules composed of only two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements. If a diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element, such as hydrogen (H 2) or oxygen (O 2), then it is said to be homonuclear.

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  6. Polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer

    The space occupied by a polymer molecule is generally expressed in terms of radius of gyration, which is an average distance from the center of mass of the chain to the chain itself. Alternatively, it may be expressed in terms of pervaded volume , which is the volume spanned by the polymer chain and scales with the cube of the radius of ...

  7. Chemical substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_substance

    Here, one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen gas to yield one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water. This particular chemical equation is an example of complete combustion. Stoichiometry measures these quantitative relationships, and is used to determine the amount of products and reactants that are produced ...

    The molecule shown is proline The model shown to the left represents a ball-and-stick model of proline . The balls have colours: black represents carbon (C); red , oxygen (O); blue , nitrogen (N); and white, hydrogen (H).

  9. Chemical structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_structure

    Phosphorus pentoxide chemical structure in 2D. A chemical structure of a molecule is a spatial arrangement of its atoms and their chemical bonds. Its determination includes a chemist's specifying the molecular geometry and, when feasible and necessary, the electronic structure of the target molecule or other solid.
