  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005458",
  "term": "Hydrocarbylidyne groups",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Trivalent groups consisting only of carbon and hydrogen, obtained when one carbon of a hydrocarbon loses three hydrogen atoms and is then joined to the rest of the molecule by a triple bond. The simplest is methylidyne (≡CH), and ethylidyne (CH3C≡) is another. Hydrocarbylidene groups are the divalent analogues, attached through a double bond.",
