  2. Deuterium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium

    Deuterium is often represented by the chemical symbol D. Since it is an isotope of hydrogen with mass number 2, it is also represented by 2 H. IUPAC allows both D and 2 H, though 2 H is preferred. [8] A distinct chemical symbol is used for convenience because of the isotope's common use in various scientific processes.

  3. Enantiomeric excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiomeric_excess

    in what is known as the Horeau effect [3] the relationship between mole based ee and optical rotation based ee can be non-linear i.d. in the succinic acid example the optical activity at 50% ee is lower than expected. the specific rotation of enantiopure 1-phenylethanol can be enhanced by the addition of achiral acetophenone as an impurity.

    With the cooperation of the oil and chemical industry, a 1,300-station infrastructure to supply DEF was prepared by September 2005 in Japan. [8] In 2007, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enacted requirements to significantly reduce harmful exhaust emissions.

  5. Glossary of chemical formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemical_formulae

    This is a list of common chemical compounds with chemical formulae and CAS numbers, indexed by formula. This complements alternative listing at list of inorganic compounds. There is no complete list of chemical compounds since by nature the list would be infinite.

  6. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    In chemistry, specific rotation ([α]) is a property of a chiral chemical compound. [ 1 ] : 244 It is defined as the change in orientation of monochromatic plane-polarized light , per unit distance–concentration product, as the light passes through a sample of a compound in solution.

  7. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another. [1]

  8. d electron count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_electron_count

    The d electron count or number of d electrons is a chemistry formalism used to describe the electron configuration of the valence electrons of a transition metal center in a coordination complex. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The d electron count is an effective way to understand the geometry and reactivity of transition metal complexes.

  9. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    A chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas and plus (+) and minus (−) signs.
