  2. Ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol

    Ethanol is an important industrial ingredient. It has widespread use as a precursor for other organic compounds such as ethyl halides, ethyl esters, diethyl ether, acetic acid, and ethyl amines. It is considered a universal solvent, as its molecular structure allows for the dissolving of both polar, hydrophilic and nonpolar, hydrophobic compounds.

  3. Hydroxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxy_group

    The hydroxy group is pervasive in chemistry and biochemistry. Many inorganic compounds contain hydroxyl groups, including sulfuric acid, the chemical compound produced on the largest scale industrially. [2] Hydroxy groups participate in the dehydration reactions that link simple biological molecules into long chains.

  4. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    A structural formula is a simplified model that cannot represent certain aspects of chemical structures. For example, formalized bonding may not be applicable to dynamic systems such as delocalized bonds. Aromaticity is such a case and relies on convention to represent the bonding. Different styles of structural formulas may represent ...

  5. Sodium ethoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_ethoxide

    The ethyl layers pack back-to-back resulting in a lamellar structure. The reaction of sodium and ethanol sometimes forms other products such as the disolvate CH 3 CH 2 ONa·2CH 3 CH 2 OH. Its crystal structure has been determined, although the structure of other phases in the CH 3 CH 2 ONa/CH 3 CH 2 OH system remain unknown. [6]

  6. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    A chemical bond is the association of atoms or ions to form molecules, crystals, and other structures. The bond may result from the electrostatic force between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds , or some combination of these effects.

  7. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Molecular geometry is determined by the quantum mechanical behavior of the electrons. Using the valence bond approximation this can be understood by the type of bonds between the atoms that make up the molecule. When atoms interact to form a chemical bond, the atomic orbitals of each atom are said to combine in a process called orbital ...

  8. Intramolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramolecular_force

    The characteristics of the bond formed can be predicted by the properties of constituent atoms, namely electronegativity. They differ in the magnitude of their bond enthalpies , a measure of bond strength, and thus affect the physical and chemical properties of compounds in different ways. % of ionic character is directly proportional ...

  9. 1-Propanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Propanol

    1-Propanol (also propan-1-ol, propanol, n-propyl alcohol) is a primary alcohol with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH and sometimes represented as PrOH or n-PrOH.It is a colourless liquid and an isomer of 2-propanol. 1-Propanol is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly for resins and cellulose esters, and, sometimes, as a disinfecting agent.
