Symbols, element

In empirical formulas of inorganic compounds, electropositive elements are listed first [3]. The stoichiometry of the element symbols is indicated at the lower right-hand side by index numbers. If necessary, the charges of ions are placed at the top right-hand side next to the element symbol (e.g., S "). In ions of complexes, the central atom is specified before the ligands are listed in alphabetical order, the complex ion is set in square brackets (e.g., Na2[Sn(OH)+]). 

Both tables, the atom and the bond lists, are linked through the atom indices. An alternative coimection table in the form of a redundant CT is shown in Figure 2-21. There, the first two columns give the index of an atom and the corresponding element symbol. The bond list is integrated into a tabular form in which the atoms are defined. Thus, the bond list extends the table behind the first two columns of the atom list. An atom can be bonded to several other atoms the atom with index 1 is connected to the atoms 2, 4, 5, and 6. These can also be written on one line. Then, a given row contains a focused atom in the atom list, followed by the indices of all the atoms to which this atom is bonded. Additionally, the bond orders are inserted directly following the atom in-... 

To fill out Table 8-1, change the element symbols in the last line to Li, Be, or B and designate the charge and spin multiplicities as 1 1, 2 1, 3 1 in that order. In line 5, the first number is the single positive charge and the second number is the spin multiplicity, 1 for paired electronic spins and 2 for an unpaired election. A...

The element symbols within each formula are arranged according to a modified Hill system in which the order is metal(s), C, H and then any remaining symbols arranged alphabetically. Compounds containing two (or more) different metals appear twice (or more), being listed under each metal. Common ligand abbreviations which appear in the text have also been used in the index. These include acac (acetylacetone), bipy (2,2 -bipyridyl), diars [o-phenylenebis(dimethyl-arsine)], dien (diethylenetriamine), etc.

Because atoms are neither created nor destroyed, chemists regard each elemental symbol as representing one atom of the element (with the subscripts giving the number of each type of atom in a formula) and then multiply formulas by factors to show the same numbers of atoms of each element on both sides of the arrow. The resulting expression is said to be balanced and is called a chemical equation. For example, there are two H atoms on the left of the preceding skeletal equation but three H atoms on the right. So, we rewrite the expression as... 

The atomic numbers (Z), electronic configurations, and numbers of unpaired electrons for five ions are listed in the following table. Assume that all unpaired electrons have parallel spins. Indicate the element symbol, charge, and energy state (that is, ground state or excited state) for each of the five cases.

Note. In carbohydrate nomenclature, substitution at a heteroatom is normally indicated by citing the locant of the attached carbon atom, followed by a hyphen, and then the italicized heteroatom element symbol, e.g. 2-0-methyl, 5-N-acetyl. Substituents on the same kind of heteroatom are grouped (e.g. 2,3,4-tri-0-methy 1), and substituents of the same kind are cited in alphabetical order of heteroatoms (e.g. 5-N-acetyl-4,8,9-tri-0-acetyl). The alternative format with superscript numerical locants (e.g, N5,(/,(), ( -tetraacetyl), used in some other areas of natural product chemistry, is unusual in carbohydrate names. 

A methyl group may be shown in a structural representation as CH3 or Me, and similar pseudo-elemental symbols are used for ethyl, propyl and butyl side chains. It is cortrmon to represent a phenyl group as either Ph or as a hexagon with a circle irtscribed within it. This circle is meant to represent electron density that lies above and beneath the main plane of the molecule. However, when faced with... 

Each element is represented by a unique one- or two-letter symbol. For example, the symbol for hydrogen is H, oxygen s symbol is O, and nitrogen s symbol is N. When two or more elements have names that begin with the same English letter, all but one of the elemental symbols has a second letter. The second letter is always lower case. For example, carbon is C, chlorine is Cl, cobalt is Co, and chromium is Cr. Chemists understand that the symbol for an element represents more than one or two letters. Instead, a chemist sees the symbol Ni and immediately thinks of nickel atoms.
