  2. Sodium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_oxide

    Sodium oxide is a chemical compound with the formula Na 2 O. It is used in ceramics and glasses. It is a white solid but the compound is rarely encountered. Instead "sodium oxide" is used to describe components of various materials such as glasses and fertilizers which contain oxides that include sodium and other elements. Sodium oxide is a ...

  3. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    If the two 1s orbitals are not in phase, a node between them causes a jump in energy, the σ* orbital. From the diagram you can deduce the bond order, how many bonds are formed between the two atoms. For this molecule it is equal to one. Bond order can also give insight to how close or stretched a bond has become if a molecule is ionized. [12]

  4. Orbital hybridisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_hybridisation

    Chemist Linus Pauling first developed the hybridisation theory in 1931 to explain the structure of simple molecules such as methane (CH 4) using atomic orbitals. [2] Pauling pointed out that a carbon atom forms four bonds by using one s and three p orbitals, so that "it might be inferred" that a carbon atom would form three bonds at right angles (using p orbitals) and a fourth weaker bond ...

  5. 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.

  6. Vanadium(IV) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanadium(IV)_oxide

    Vanadium(IV) oxide or vanadium dioxide is an inorganic compound with the formula VO 2. It is a dark blue solid. It is a dark blue solid. Vanadium (IV) dioxide is amphoteric , dissolving in non-oxidising acids to give the blue vanadyl ion , [VO] 2+ and in alkali to give the brown [V 4 O 9 ] 2− ion, or at high pH [VO 4 ] 4− . [ 4 ]

  7. Superexchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superexchange

    It has been proven, that due to the multiple energy scales present in the model for superexchange, perturbation theory is not in general convergent, and is thus not an appropriate method for deriving this interaction between spins [8] and that this undoubtedly accounts for the incorrect qualitative characterization of some transition-metal oxide compounds as Mott-Hubbard, rather than Charge ...

  8. Zaytsev's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaytsev's_rule

    In some cases, the stereochemistry of the starting material can prevent the formation of the Zaytsev product. For example, when menthyl chloride is treated with sodium ethoxide, the Hofmann product is formed exclusively, [13] but in very low yield: [14] This result is due to the stereochemistry of the starting material.

  9. Superoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superoxide

    In chemistry, a superoxide is a compound that contains the superoxide ion, which has the chemical formula O − 2. [1] The systematic name of the anion is dioxide(1−).The reactive oxygen ion superoxide is particularly important as the product of the one-electron reduction of dioxygen O 2, which occurs widely in nature.
