Chemical compoundChemical formula

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A compound can be represented by a formula appropriate to its molecular, ionic, network, or nonstoichiometric character.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

An empirical formula is the simplest elemental-ratio form of chemical formula.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Formula subscripts establish elemental ratios used in stoichiometric accounting.

How to interpret this relation type

The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
