WikiProject Chemistry here is not a real WikiProject. This is just a page where you can find many things about chemistry.
A system of article creation and expansion
[change | change source]- Expand the chemical element articles by using data from enWP. This will create some redlinks. Bromine before and after (See how to do this below)
- Create articles for the common chemical compounds of that element. (See all the articles in bromine compounds.) (See how to do this below)
- Create an index page for the chemical compounds (bromine compounds is an index page). (See how to do this below)
- Create a category for the chemical compounds (Category:Bromine compounds is a category). (See how to do this below)
Here is a page you can expand: Beryllium, Category:Beryllium compounds, and Beryllium compounds.
A way to create chemical compound articles
[change | change source]There are two ways to create articles.
- Simple Style (sample) A jumbled mass of sentences. This way is easier to write but is not recommended.
- Better Style {sample) Organized sections. This is recommended.
There are certain things that should be included in a chemistry article.
- Some properties of the molecules. Oxidation state, chemical formula, etc.
- Its properties. solid, liquid, gas, reacts with water, dissolves in water, reacts with anything
- How it is made.
- What is it used for.
- Other chemical compounds similar to it.
A way to expand chemical element articles
[change | change source]Chemical element articles need to be expanded as part of the process here. Here is how to do them. There are some things that should be in a chemical element article. Sample chemical element article: Zinc now. Zinc before I started expanding it.
- Introduction with the category of the element, isotopes, and a summary of the uses and any special properties.
- Properties of the element; physical and chemical properties.
- Properties of the chemical compounds.
- How it is found in nature. How common or rare it is.
- How it is taken from its ores.
- What it is used for.
- How dangerous or toxic it is.
How to write a chemical compound page
[change | change source]Chemical compound pages are pages that list all of the chemical compounds of a certain element. Sample page: Bromine compounds
- Find out all of the oxidation states the compounds are in.
- Group the chemical compounds by oxidation state.
- Group each of the oxidation state into subgroups if they have them. (For example; +6 chromium compounds can be divided into chromates or dichromates in chromium compounds.)
How to make a category
[change | change source]Create the category and add Category:Chemical compounds to the category. Add all of the chemical compound articles in the chemical compound page to the category.
Other articles to create
[change | change source]Here are some articles to make. Ask me if you want more ideas.
Other articles to work on
[change | change source]- Some of these may need work converting from the simple to the better style. Ask me if you want more ideas.
