General chemistry
Periodic trend
Chemistry; General chemistry
A regular variation in element properties with increasing atomic number that is ultimately due to regular variations in atomic structure.
Water
Chemistry; General chemistry
A colorless, tasteless liquid with some very peculiar properties that stem from the bent H-O-H structure of its molecules.
Coulombic interactions
Chemistry; General chemistry
Attractions between opposite charges or repulsions between like charges that grow stronger as the charges become closer to each other.
Latent heat
Chemistry; General chemistry
Heat that is absorbed without causing a rise in temperature. For example, "latent heat of vaporization" refers to the amount of heat required to convert a liquid to vapour at a particular ...
Silicate
Chemistry; General chemistry
1. A negatively charged ion containing silicon and oxygen, usually SiO3-2, Si2O7-6, and Si3O7-2. 2. A compound containing positively charged metal ions combined with negatively charged ions made of ...
Autoprotolysis
Chemistry; General chemistry
Transfer of a hydrogen ion between molecules of the same substance, e.g. the autoprotolysis of methanol (2 CH 3 OH = CH 3 OH 2 + + CH 3 O - ). Autoprotolysis of water into hydronium ions and ...
Geometric isomer
Chemistry; General chemistry
Geometric isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and bond connections, but distinctly different shapes.
