Chemical Structures and Geometry Flashcards

Flashcards covering chemical terminology and structural geometries from the lecture notes, focusing on ethylene and borazine.

Ethylene

A hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond ($C=C$) that exhibits a trigonal planar molecular geometry.

Inorganic benzene

A compound with the formula $B_3N_3H_6$, also known as borazine or borazole.

Borazine

A synonym for inorganic benzene or borazole, characterized by the formula $B_3N_3H_6$ and a trigonal planar geometry.

Borazole

Another name for the molecule $B_3N_3H_6$, also referred to as borazine or inorganic benzene.

Trigonal planar

The molecular geometry observed in both ethylene and the inorganic benzene ring ($B_3N_3H_6$) based on the lecture notes.

$$B_3N_3H_6$$

The chemical formula for borazine (inorganic benzene), which has a ring structure containing boron and nitrogen atoms.
