C10H21Cl
formula, see observation
DEF

A commercial term referring to a chemical compound comprising mixed isomers, having the formula C10H21Cl, appearing under the form of a combustible, colorless liquid, used as a solvent for oils, fats, greases, resins, gums, in extractants and cleaning compounds, as an intermediate for insecticides, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, polysulfide rubbers, resins and cationic surfactants.

OBS

The decyl "chain" as shown in formulas 5 through 9 is termed a "straight chain", as one carbon follows another, like the links of a chain. Structures 15 or 16 are termed "branched chains". [An illustration of the formulas follows. ] The overall formula for 5-7, C10sub>H21</sub>Cl, is the same. Formulas 5-7 each represents "decyl chloride. "However 15 and 16 differ in a crucial way. The difference is that formulas 15 and 16 have two "CH3" groups near the left end of the molecule. This is seen more easily in 17, a "condensed formula" that is equivalent to the "line formula" 15. Furthermore, 15 to 17 have a single "CH" group present, whereas 7 has no "CH" groups, only "CH3" and "CH2" groups. The new structure 15 or 17 carries a different name :"isodecyl chloride. "

Instead of scanning between different elevation sub-swaths, the Alternating Polarisation Mode(co-polar) scans between two polarisations, HH and VV, within a single swath(which is preselected, as for the Image Mode). In addition, there are two cross-polar modes, where the transmit pulses are all H or all V polarisation, with the receive chain operating alternatively in H and V, as in the CO-polar mode.
