Sticking molecular hydrogen

C.5 In the following ball-and-stick molecular structures, black indicates carbon, red oxygen, light gray hydrogen, blue nitrogen, and green chlorine. Write the chemical formula of each structure. 

Fig. 11.2 A view of molecular packing in the Ni(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine)4 layered structure [2] (host molecules shown in the capped sticks mode, hydrogen atoms are omitted for the sake of clarity). Guest azulene molecules are shown in the space filling mode, the two layers of the guest non-related by crystal symmetry are distinguished by different colors...

It is a well-studied system [2, 61], but still it is discussed very controversially, as far as experiment [62-67] as well as theory is concerned [14, 36, 37, 68-73], This debate was fueled by the so-called barrier puzle While the sticking coefficient of molecular hydrogen on Si surfaces is very small [67, 74]... 

One of the major results is shown in Figure 4.23, which is reproduced from the elegant work of Hayden et al. [197]. Here the sticking coefficient of pure molecular hydrogen is measured on Cu(llO) as a function of translational energy using a... 

Fig. 4.23 Sticking coefficient of molecular hydrogen on Cu(llO) as a function of translational energy (open symbols). By measuring the sticking coefficient for a fixed nozzle temperature at HOOK and reducing the translational energy by back-seeding, it...

A molecular model is a more accurate and complete way to specify a compound. A ball-and-stick molecular model represents atoms as balls and chemical bonds as sticks how the two connect reflects a molecule s shape. The balls are typically color-coded to specific elements. For example, carbon is customarily black, hydrogen is white, nitrogen is blue, and oxygen is red. (For a complete list of colors of elements in the molecular models used in this book, see Appendix IIA.)... 

Stimulated by these observations, Odelius et al. [73] performed molecular dynamic (MD) simulations of water adsorption at the surface of muscovite mica. They found that at monolayer coverage, water forms a fully connected two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network in epitaxy with the mica lattice, which is stable at room temperature. A model of the calculated structure is shown in Figure 26. The icelike monolayer (actually a warped molecular bilayer) corresponds to what we have called phase-I. The model is in line with the observed hexagonal shape of the boundaries between phase-I and phase-II. Another result of the MD simulations is that no free OH bonds stick out of the surface and that on average the dipole moment of the water molecules points downward toward the surface, giving a ferroelectric character to the water bilayer. 

Fig. 4. The molecular structure, determined by solution NMR (James et al., 1997), of Syrian hamster 90-231 (SHa90-231) prion with ball-and-stick representation of the HI domain (SHal09-122 MKHMAGAAAAGAW). Note that two short /(-chains (SI, S2) nearly stack in the hydrogen-bonding direction. If the palindromic polyalanine region was also in a /(-conformation, there would be a three-stranded /(-sheet. The structural difference between PrPc and PrPSc is in the 90-145 domain. [Model drawn using MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991)].

Figure 2.30 Molecular models depicting 4,4-dimethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (a) framework (b) ball-and-stick (c) space-filling. Note that the size of atoms reflects the electronic charge associated with the atom. Therefore, as seen in models (b) and (c), a hydrogen atom attached to electronegative oxygen appears smaller than a hydrogen atom attached to carbon...

Organic chemists commonly deal with complex molecules containing dozens of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They have found a way to report the molecular structures in a very simple way, by not showing the C and FI atoms explicitly. A stick structure represents a chain of carbon atoms...
