Molecular Compounds: Formulas and Nomenclature

55.4K
Molecular compounds or covalent compounds result when atoms share electrons to form covalent bonds. Since there is no electron transfer, molecular compounds do not contain ions; instead, they consist of discrete, neutral molecules.

Ionic Compounds: Formulas and Nomenclature

An element composed of atoms that readily lose electrons (a metal) can react with an element composed of atoms that readily gain electrons (a nonmetal) to produce ions through complete electron transfer. The compound formed by this transfer is stabilized by the electrostatic attractions (ionic bonds) between the oppositely charged ions.

In most main group element compounds, the valence electrons of the isolated atoms combine to form chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule. For instance, the four valence electrons of carbon overlap with electrons from four hydrogen atoms to form CH4. The one valence electron leaves sodium and adds to the seven valence electrons of chlorine to form the ionic formula unit NaCl (Figure 1a). Transition metals do not normally bond in this fashion. They primarily form coordinate covalent bonds, a...

Nomenclature of Alkenes02:29

Nomenclature of Alkenes

15.1K
The IUPAC naming system for alkenes replaces -an- with -en- in the corresponding parent alkanes. Accordingly, a simple alkene replaces the -ane suffix of the alkane with -ene.
As per the IUPAC rules, the longest carbon chain containing the maximum number of double bonds is identified as the parent chain and is numbered such that the doubly bonded carbon atoms receive the lowest possible numbers. The location of the double bond is indicated by the number of its first carbon atom. In branched...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) in forensic DNA analysis necessitates a robust nomenclature for sequence-based alleles and artifacts.
  • Existing nomenclature formats, while comprehensive, can be lengthy and cumbersome for software applications.
  • The International Society of Forensic Genetics (ISFG) DNA Commission has outlined requirements for sequence labeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe the Sequence Identifier (SID) nomenclature, designed for unique labeling of sequences in forensic casework.
  • To address the need for a compact and software-friendly labeling system for MPS-generated forensic DNA data.
  • To demonstrate the utility of SID nomenclature in artifact identification, filtering, and forensic mixture analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the SID nomenclature, generating short, unique labels for allelic and artifactual sequences.
  • Evaluation of SID label length, requiring only two or three characters for casework profiles.
  • Demonstration of SID nomenclature's applicability in algorithms for artifact association and filtering.

Main Results:

  • The SID nomenclature provides unique, compact labels for all sequences (allelic and artifactual) in forensic profiles.
  • SID labels effectively discriminate between sequence-based alleles and artifacts.
  • The nomenclature is compatible with downstream mixture analysis software that accepts character-based inputs.

Conclusions:

  • The SID nomenclature offers a practical solution for labeling MPS-derived forensic DNA data, enhancing software usability.
  • This system facilitates accurate artifact management and improves the interpretation of complex forensic DNA mixtures.
  • SID nomenclature is a valuable tool for advancing forensic DNA analysis using next-generation sequencing technologies.
