Kinds of Chemical Compounds

Rather similar was the paper [PolG36a] which also derives asymptotic formulae for the number of several kinds of chemical compounds, for example the alcohols and benzene and naphthalene derivatives. Unlike the paper previously mentioned, this one gives proofs of the recursion formulae from which the asymptotic results are derived. A third paper on this topic [PolG36] covers the same sort of ground but ranges more broadly over the chemical compounds. Derivatives of anthracene, pyrene, phenanthrene, and thiophene are considered as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, esters, and ketones. In this paper Polya addresses the question of enumerating stereoisomers -- a topic to which we shall return later.

Introduction. A number of common structures, ideally corresponding to a 1 1 stoichiometry, are presented in this chapter. Some of them are not specifically characteristic of intermetallic compounds only. The CsCl and NaCl types, for instance, are observed for several kinds of chemical compounds (from typical ionic to metallic phases). Notice that for a number of prototypes a few derivative structures have also been considered and described, underlining crystal analogies and relationships even if with a change in the reference stoichiometry. 

At this point it is wise to examine a new hypothesis, attributed in the first instance to Lewis and later to Kossel, who put forward the theory that these compounds are not composed of atoms but of ions. The determination of atomic distances in molecules and crystals leads to the very important result that there are apparently two kinds of chemical compounds, one in which the sizes of the atoms are... 

The pharmacologically active constituents of these Astragalus belong to two different kinds of chemical compounds, polysaccharides and saponins, and the most interesting pharmacological properties are hepatoprotective, immunostimulant and antiviral. 

It should be stressed that u, as the standard for comparing the masses (weights) of all chemical elements in all kinds of chemical compounds, refers not simply to tlie carbon atom, but rather to one very specific isotope, carbon-12. There are two stable isotopes of carbon, 12C and 13C, and four known radioactive isotopes, 1(,C, 1C, 14C, and 15 C. 

The allelopathic effect of the three plants evaluated in this study depends on both the kind of chemical compounds in each aqueous leachate and the differential response of bean and tomato to each particular allelochemical stress.37... 

We shall look at just a few examples of biochemical processes how one enzyme—of the thousands in our bodies—may work what happens in one of the dozens of reactions by which carbohydrates are oxidized to furnish energy how one kind of chemical compound—fatty acids—is synthesized. Finally, we shall learn a little about another class of biomolecules, the nucleic acids, and how they are involved in the most fascinating biochemical process of all—heredity. 

Even though a few elements, such as carhon and gold, are sometimes found in elemental form in nature, most of the substances we see around us consist of two or more elements that have combined chemically to form more complex substances called compounds. For example, in nature, the element hydrogen is combined with other elements, such as oxygen and carbon, in compounds such as the water and sugar used to make a soft drink. (Perhaps you are sipping one while you read.) In this chapter, you will learn to (1) deftne the terms mixture and compound more precisely, (2) distinguish between elements, compounds, and mixtures, (3) describe how elements combine to form compounds, (4) construct systematic names for some chemical compounds, and (5) describe the characteristics of certain kinds of chemical compounds. The chapter will also expand your ability to visualize the basic structures of matter. 

Perhaps at this point you are feeling confused hy the many different conventions for naming different kinds of chemical compounds. Here is an overview of the guidelines for naming and writing formulas for all of the types of compounds descrihed in this chapter and in Chapter 3. 

The typical representatives of this kind of chemical compounds are oxides LaYOs, LaErOs, LaYbOs, GdScOs, ScYOsthat were synthesized and studied in this developments. 

The first nomenclature for inorganic structure types has been proposed by Ewald Hermann in 1931. They used letters to designate the kind of chemical compound and numerals to distinguish among compounds with the same general formula. The chemical elements are designated by the letter A, the binary compounds by the letter B, the AB2 compounds by C and so on. Examples are A1 for Cu, A10 for Hg, B1 for NaCI, B3 for ZnS (sphalerite), HI2 for Mg2Si04 (olivine), G1 for CaCOa (calcite). This notation has not received much acceptance, possibly due to its lack of self explanatory structural information. 

During the last two decades, the DTA-EGD-GC on-line coupled simultaneous apparatus has been applied in the following fields solid catalysts [77-79], anti-oxidation additives in petroleum [80], thermal characteristics of coal [81-83], mineralogy [60, 84-87], organometallic chemistry [88-90], polymer chemistry [91], pharmaceutical chemistry [92], environmental protection chemistry and the thermal behavior of all kinds of chemical compounds [62, 63]. Numerous DTA-EGD-GC curves are shown in Chapter 13.

Line notations represent the structure of chemical compounds as a linear sequence of letters and numbers. The lUPAC nomenclature represents such a kind of line notation. However, the lUPAC nomenclature [6] makes it difficult to obtain additional information on the structure of a compound directly from its name (see Section 2.2). 

The following compound is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of one of the twenty common a-amino acids. Which one is it likely to be, and what kind of chemical change must take place to complete the biosynthesis ... 

Tops made from solid epoxy compounds are resistant to just about any kind of chemical abuse but are very expensive. They are often sold with an integral backsplash and curved junction, which makes cleaning easy. They are much easier on glassware than either stone or cement composition. 

From a chemical point of view, vegetable resins are a complex mixture of mono-, sesqui-, di- and triterpenes, which have, respectively, 10, 15, 20 and 30 carbon atoms per molecule. The mono- and sesquiterpenes are both present in most resins. The di- and triterpenes are rarely found together in the same resin, which means that terpenic resins can be divided into two main classes. Table 1.5 lists the botanical origin and the kind of terpenoid compounds of some natural resins.

In Figure 15.4-2, each point represents a kind of chemical product. For example, point number 5 represents chemical products, which are compound products with complementary to the environment, and where the properties are basically the properties of each product component. Usually, the products of the type number 1 are the simplest, whereas the products of the type number 8 are the most complex. Of course, products of the type number 1 can be more difficult to design than the type number 2, for example, big and complex molecules. Figure 3 shows examples of chemical products according to this classification. 

Paracelsus went on to dismiss the theory on which the orthodox medicine of the day was based. This theory, which had originally been proposed by Hippocrates, held that the body contained four humors blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Disease was supposedly a consequence of imbalances in these humors, and it was the physician s job to correct the imbalances. Furthermore, each humor was associated with one of the four elements. For example, a fever was clearly the result of the presence of too much fire. The humor that corresponded to fire was blood, so feverish patients should be bled. All of this was nonsense, Paracelsus said. The body was a kind of chemical laboratory, and a doctor must investigate the properties of chemical compounds to find those that would cure any specific disease. 

The idea that matter is made up of atoms was not new in Dalton s time. It was known to the ancient Greeks. Even in Robert Boyle s day the idea that matter was composed of particles, or corpuscles, of some kind was commonly believed. Dalton revolutionized chemistry, not by reintroducing this old idea but by formulating a workable theory of the formation of chemical compounds. 

In the past decades, homoatomic polyanions in solid state compounds of group 14 elements have been a powerful starting material toward different kinds of chemical transformations. Recent developments, especially for nine-atom clusters, have been discussed elsewhere [5,125,126] and are not within the scope of this review. Here, we concentrate on neat solvates , which means that in addition to cation and anion... 

The changes which occur during chemical action are expressed by equations, in which the symbols of the elements or compounds, as they exist before the change, are placed on the left, and those which result from the reaction on the right. Thus, taking an example from each of the five kinds of chemical action above mentioned, we have... 

Dirt is a mixture of chemical compounds and much more. The periodic table is used to show elements, which are materials that consist of only one kind of atom.
