  2. Thiol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiol

    The S−H bond in thiols is weak compared to the O−H bond in alcohols. For CH 3 X−H, the bond enthalpies are 365.07 ± 2.1 kcal/mol for X = S and 440.2 ± 3.0 kcal/mol for X = O. [21] Hydrogen-atom abstraction from a thiol gives a thiyl radical with the formula RS •, where R = alkyl or aryl.

  3. Sulfuric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuric_acid

    Sulfuric acid (American spelling and the preferred IUPAC name) or sulphuric acid (Commonwealth spelling), known in antiquity as oil of vitriol, is a mineral acid composed of the elements sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen, with the molecular formula H 2 SO 4.

  4. Protic solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protic_solvent

    The molecules of such solvents readily donate protons (H +) to solutes, often via hydrogen bonding. Water is the most common protic solvent. Conversely, polar aprotic solvents cannot donate protons but still have the ability to dissolve many salts. [1] [2] Methods for purification of common solvents are available [3]

  6. Tetrahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_molecular_geometry

    In a tetrahedral molecular geometry, a central atom is located at the center with four substituents that are located at the corners of a tetrahedron.The bond angles are arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) = 109.4712206...° ≈ 109.5° when all four substituents are the same, as in methane (CH 4) [1] [2] as well as its heavier analogues.

  7. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    In the secondary structure of proteins, hydrogen bonds form between the backbone oxygens and amide hydrogens. When the spacing of the amino acid residues participating in a hydrogen bond occurs regularly between positions i and i + 4, an alpha helix is formed. When the spacing is less, between positions i and i + 3, then a 3 10 helix is formed.

  8. Ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester

    An ester of a carboxylic acid.R stands for any group (typically hydrogen or organyl) and R ′ stands for any organyl group.. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (R ′).

  9. Sulfonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfonic_acid

    General structure of a sulfonic acid with the functional group indicated in blue. In organic chemistry, sulfonic acid (or sulphonic acid) refers to a member of the class of organosulfur compounds with the general formula R−S(=O) 2 −OH, where R is an organic alkyl or aryl group and the S(=O) 2 (OH) group a sulfonyl hydroxide.
