Formaldehyde molecule

Formaldehyde. Computer graphic representation of a molecule of formaldehyde (methanal). Its molecular formula is HCHO. Atoms are depicted as spheres and colour- coded: carbon (grey), hydrogen (green), oxygen (red). Formaldehyde is a colourless gas with a pungent odour. It is soluble in water up to 52%; the commercial solution is known as " formalin" and contains about 37% formaldehyde. It is a powerful germicide used for sterilization and for preserving pathological specimens. It is also used in the manufacture of urea, phenol, and poly- formaldehyde resins

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated representation of the formaldehyde molecule, also known as methanal. The molecular formula HCHO is beautifully depicted with spheres representing atoms and color-coded to distinguish carbon (grey), hydrogen (green), and oxygen (red). Formaldehyde itself is an odorless gas, but this image visually portrays its powerful presence. Soluble in water up to 52%, formaldehyde finds application in various fields. In medical settings, it plays a crucial role as a germicide for sterilization purposes and preserving pathological specimens. Furthermore, it has significant industrial uses such as being involved in the manufacturing processes of urea, phenol, and poly-formaldehyde resins. The commercial solution derived from formaldehyde is commonly referred to as "formalin". With approximately 37% formaldehyde content, this solution serves numerous practical purposes beyond its pungent odor. However, it's important not to mention specific commercial applications here. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable visual representation that allows us to appreciate the intricate structure of organic compounds like formaldehyde. Through stunning graphics and scientific precision, we gain insight into the world of chemistry on a molecular level. Let this image spark curiosity about the wonders hidden within our surroundings – reminding us that even seemingly simple molecules can have profound impacts across various industries and scientific disciplines.
