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

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.
