A crystal, a substance that has different composition than another, but has the same crystalline structure.
Enthalpy of atomization
Chemistry; General chemistry
The change in enthalpy that occurs when one mole of a compound is converted into gaseous atoms. All bonds in the compound are broken in atomization and none are formed, so enthalpies of atomization ...
Node
Chemistry; General chemistry
A point, region, or surface where the amplitude of a standing wave is zero. The probability of finding an electron at an orbital node is zero.
Thin layer chromatography
Chemistry; General chemistry
A technique for separating components in a mixture on the basis of their differing polarities. A spot of sample is placed on a flat sheet coated with silica and then carried along by a solvent that ...
