Answers
Explanation: Chemistry
The methylidyne radical (a carbyne); CH• (or •CH), CH3• (or ⫶CH)
The methylidyne group ≡CH
The methine group (methanylylidene, methylylidene) =CH−
Answer:
CH means Methylidyne or (unsubstituted) carbyne,
Explanation:
Methylidyne, or (unsubstituted) carbyne, is an organic compound, consists of a single hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom. It is the parent compound of the carbines, which can be obtained from it by substitution of other functional groups for the hydrogen.
The carbon atom is left with either one or three unpaired electrons which are unsatisfied valence bonds, depending on the molecule's excitation state; making it a radical. Accordingly, the chemical formula can be CH• or CH3• (can be written as ⫶CH); each dot representing an unpaired electron. The corresponding systematic names are methylylidene or hydridocarbon(•), and methanetriyl or hydridocarbon(3•). The formula is often written as CH.
