Definitions |
The definition of a compound requires a fixed ratio. Thus table salt, NaCl, is a compound but not a molecule, cecause it is composed of 2 or more elements in a fixed ratio (1:1, satisfying the definition of a compound) but does not have a well-defined number of atoms (so it does not meet the criteria for a molecule). It is instead an array of any number (not fixed) of Na+ and Cl- ions arranged in a 1:1 ratio. Placeholder for class to be imported from the Reagent Ontology (ReO). A chemical substance comprised of two or more elements combined, bonded in a fixed ratio and containing carbon and hydrogen atoms. The following elements can also be found in organic compounds: Nitrogen (N); oxygen (O), Fluor (F), phosphorous (P), sulfur (S), chlorine (Cl), selenium (Se), bromine (Br), iodine (I). Organic compounds do not contain metals. |
