Nomenclature of Molecular Compounds

How to Name Molecular Compounds – Unlike ionic compounds, Molecular compounds contain discrete molecular units. – They are usually composed of nonmetallic elements. – Many molecular compounds are binary compounds. – Naming binary molecular compounds is similar to naming binary ionic compounds. – We place the name of the first …

Nomenclature of Ionic Compounds

– In this subject, we will discuss the Nomenclature of Ionic Compounds. Naming Compounds – In addition to using formulas to show the composition of molecules and compounds, chemists have developed a system for naming substances based on their composition. – we divided naming substances into three categories: (1) Nomenclature of …

Separation of Isotopes

– In this subject, we will discuss the Separation of Isotopes by seven methods Separation of Isotopes – Since isotopes have exactly similar chemical properties, their separation by chemical means is out of the question. – Their difference in those physical properties which depend on the mass of the atom …

Identification of Isotopes

– In this subject, we will discuss the Identification of Isotopes by Aston’s Mass Spectrograph and Dempster’s Mass Spectrograph Identification of Isotopes – The positive rays produced in a discharge tube consist of nuclei of atoms. – The deflection of positive rays in an electric and magnetic field is proportional …

Sigma Bond and Bond Rotation

– In this subject, we will discuss the Sigma Bond and Bond Rotation – Two groups bonded by only a single bond can undergo rotation about that bond for each other: – The temporary molecular shapes that result from such a rotation are called conformations of the molecule. – Each possible structure …
