  2. Chiton (garment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiton_(garment)

    The Ionic chiton could also be made from linen or wool and was draped without the fold and held in place from neck to wrist by several small pins or buttons.. Herodotus states the dress of the women in Athens was changed from the Doric peplos to the Ionic chiton after the widows of the men killed on military expedition to Aegina stabbed and killed the sole survivor with their peplos pins, each ...

    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 ...

    Haworth projection of the chitin molecule. A close-up of the wing of a leafhopper ; the wing is composed of chitin. A cicada emerges from its nymphal exoskeleton; the shed exoskeleton is mostly modified chitin ( sclerotin ) but the wings and much of the adult body are still unsclerotized chitin at this stage

  5. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    An example of the difference is the empirical formula for glucose, which is CH 2 O (ratio 1:2:1), while its molecular formula is C 6 H 12 O 6 (number of atoms 6:12:6). For water, both formulae are H 2 O. A molecular formula provides more information about a molecule than its empirical formula, but is more difficult to establish.

    An example is ozone, which has the chemical formula O 3. [6] Ionic species: Atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge that can be either positively (cation) or negatively charged (anion). Species with an overall positive charge will be a cationic species. The sodium ion is an example of a ...

  7. Ionic polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_polymerization

    In polymer chemistry, ionic polymerization is a chain-growth polymerization in which active centers are ions or ion pairs. [2] It can be considered as an alternative to radical polymerization, and may refer to anionic polymerization or cationic polymerization. [3] As with radical polymerization, reactions are initiated by a reactive compound.

  9. Chiton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiton

    The name chiton is Neo-Latin derived from the Ancient Greek word khitōn, meaning tunic (which also is the source of the word chitin). The Ancient Greek word khitōn can be traced to the Central Semitic word *kittan , which is from the Akkadian words kitû or kita'um , meaning flax or linen, and originally the Sumerian word gada or gida .
