  2. Radical (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_(chemistry)

    Lewis dot structure of a Hydroxide ion compared to a hydroxyl radical. In chemistry, a radical, also known as a free radical, is an atom, molecule, or ion that has at least one unpaired valence electron. [1] [2] With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make radicals highly chemically reactive. Many radicals spontaneously dimerize. Most ...

  3. Hydroxyl radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyl_radical

    The hydroxyl radical has a very short in vivo half-life of approximately 10 −9 seconds and a high reactivity. [5] This makes it a very dangerous compound to the organism. [6] [7] Unlike superoxide, which can be detoxified by superoxide dismutase, the hydroxyl radical cannot be eliminated by an enzymatic reaction.

  4. Chemical symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_symbol

    Chemical symbols are the abbreviations used in chemistry, mainly for chemical elements; but also for functional groups, chemical compounds, and other entities. Element symbols for chemical elements, also known as atomic symbols , normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter capitalised.

  5. Radical anion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_anion

    In organic chemistry, a radical anion is a free radical species [1] that carries a negative charge. Radical anions are encountered in organic chemistry as reduced derivatives of polycyclic aromatic compounds, e.g. sodium naphthenide. An example of a non-carbon radical anion is the superoxide anion, formed by transfer of one electron to an ...

    SMILES generation algorithm for ciprofloxacin: break cycles, then write as branches off a main backbone. The Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) is a specification in the form of a line notation for describing the structure of chemical species using short ASCII strings.

  8. Methyl radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_radical

    For instance, the t-butyl radical has a bond angle of 118° with a 0.7 kcal/mol (2.9 kJ/mol) barrier to pyramidal inversion. On the other hand, substitution of hydrogen atoms by more electronegative substituents leads to radicals with a strongly pyramidal geometry (112°), such as the trifluoromethyl radical, CF •

  9. Chemical species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_species

    The sodium ion is an example of a cationic species and its formula is Na +. Species with an overall negative charge will be an anionic species. Chloride is an anionic species, and its formula is Cl −. [7] Radical species: Molecules or atoms with unpaired electrons. Triarlborane anion is a radical species and its formula is Ar3B − [8] [9]
