Do chemists refer to water as "dihydrogen monoxide"?
Feb 17, 2014 · Like most of the other professionals answering here, I've given a couple of talks on international conferences and published some articles in peer-reviewed journals. I have never …
Which has stronger hydrogen bonds: water or ice?
May 6, 2018 · So, finally, I feel we have said enough to explain why the knowledge that a shrinking $\ce {O-O}$ distance and widening $\ce {HOH}$ angle tells us that ice has stronger …
Why is it OH- and not HO-? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
I am told that in a chemical equation the metal comes first and then the non metal. for example MgO, ZnSO 4,etc. But when both the elements are non metals or metals, the one with the …
Which of the following has a stronger hydrogen bonding: F-H- -O …
Aug 8, 2020 · F---H---F is stronger. This is an example of hydrogen bonding. More the partial charges generated on each atom better the interaction. The hydrogen bond is an effect. The …
Why does water split into ions? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

organic chemistry - What is the reason for Hyperconjugation ...
Mar 3, 2025 · Hyperconjugation is when a sigma-bonded hydrogen and carbon weaken their bond and the single bond develops partial character while the initial double bond develops partial …
Why does the hydroxide ion have a negative charge?
May 1, 2016 · In a sense, you are overthinking it. OH- has a negative charge, simply because it has a negative charge (it has one more electron than it has protons). There could also be an …
