A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question.
for questions about applications of machine learning algorithms to chemistry, not the machine learning methods themselves. Often bridging cheminformatics and computational chemistry, these methods con…
Enolates are anions derived from the deprotonation of carbonyl compounds. This tag must be used while dealing with the enolates or its derivatives including its resonance forms.
For questions specifically about neutrons - subatomic particles denoted by the symbol n. They have no net electric charge. Also see [radioactivity]. Also use [atoms] if your question is not specifical…
Atomic and chemical properties related to the relativistic properties of electrons in heavy elements.
For questions about the chemistry of crude oil or natural gas products.
For questions where the reactivity/conformation of the molecule is defined/controlled by a specific orbital arrangement/alignment (for example the unusual conformation of sugars because of the anomeri…
HSAB - Hard and Soft Acids and Bases is Pearson's theory classifying Lewis acids.
Chemistry occurring on asteroids, comets, in the interstellar medium or on other planets.
Questions related to matter in a state that has properties between those of conventional liquid and those of solid crystal.
should be used when asking questions about two or more liquids that cannot mix, for example, water and oil. This tag should not be used for cases where two liquids can be homogenized by mixin…
should be applied to questions concerning all aspects of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, including the theory behind the technique and its applications in chemistry.
Questions related to Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is a quantum mechanical theory used in physics and chemistry to investigate the properties and dynamics of many-body systems in th…
Soap is a salt of fatty acid used generally for cleansing purposes. For questions relating to soap or saponification.
to questions about methods that use multiple determinants to construct the wave function, e.g. MCSCF, MR-PT, CASSCF, MR-CI, etc., questions about chemical systems that might require the…
For questions relating to humidity. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air.
to ask questions on electrochemical properties such as cell EMF, chemical conductance and electrolytic cells. Also use 'electrochemistry' tag with these questions.
should be applied to questions about the Wittig reaction and its variants, including the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction.
For questions regarding container interactions with contents, selection, material makeup or geometry.
Use for questions related to the use/chemistry of chemicals used in warfare.
Saponification is the conversion of lipids into soap and alcohol by the action of heat in the presence of aqueous alkali. Soaps are salts of fatty acids.
The supramolecular chemistry tag should be applied to questions pertaining to supramolecular systems, both natural (e.g. biological systems with supramolecular behaviour) and artificial (e.g. man made…
