When you look at the periodic table, you'll notice that it's made up of many elements, each with a characteristic atomic symbol, which is a letter or combination of letters that represents the element. C, for instance, is the atomic symbol for the element carbon. Elements have different ...
The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called the electron configuration of the atom. We describe an electron configuration with a symbol that contains three pieces of information (Figure 2): The number of the principal quantum shell, n, The letter that des...
Some substances with this symbol may also give off flammable gases in contact with water Irritant Harmful *Contains gas under pressure. Gas released may be very cold. *Gas container may explode if heated. *Do not heat containers *Avoid contact with skin and eyes Environmentally Toxic Can burn ...
(s) Δ Chemical reactions and equations Conditions required to carry out the reaction may appear above or below the arrow For example, a “delta” symbol indicates that heat is supplied to the reaction * * 枕爷们胰桥抑落黑赫猴劳镜抵曝坐雌刺欢肩样箔搔辱檄痘钠弘潘螺蚌鸦临Chapter3-01-...
Do you remember what element the C is the symbol of? If not, go look on your periodic table. What does O stand for? O2 shows dioxide. “Di” is Latin for “two.” So what is CO2? (answer: Carbon Dioxide) CO2 is the chemical compound released when you mix baking soda and vinegar...
In synthesis (the reversed way), equivalents of these synthons have to be found and should be reacted together by known and reliable transformations to give the target molecule. A double line arrow indicates the direction of retrosynthesis. The direction of a retrosynthetic arrow contrasts the ...

One of the most common issues concerned the direction of the reaction process were some students struggled with the use of the arrow symbol. Two of these examples are illustrated in Figure 4, where students seem to understand that the arrow symbol is indicative of a change but is sometimes us...
The pupils were divided into pairs or small groups and had access to a whole box with balls of different colors (symbolizing atoms) and sticks of different lengths (symbolizing the bonds between the atoms). Figure 6. A box of balls and sticks. The different colors of the balls represent ...
The Crum Brown notation placed the atom symbol in a circle and joined the circles according to their chemical position by lines (Figure 6). For single bonds, he used straight lines to represent the valences and for double bonds he used curved bonds. Using this graphical style, he was able...
