Inorganic chemistry
Lattice energy
Chemistry; Inorganic chemistry
Lattice energy is the energy required to separate two ions in a lattice. Lattice energy is affected by the charge on the ions and ion size.
Ionic bond
Chemistry; Inorganic chemistry
A bond formed between ions with different charge due to attraction between them.
Body-centered cubic
Chemistry; Inorganic chemistry
The body-centered cubic system has one lattice point in the centre of the unit cell in addition to the eight corner points. It has a net total of 2 lattice points per unit cell.
Latent heat
Chemistry; Inorganic chemistry
The amount of energy required to change a solid into a liquid is called as its latent heat.
Charcoal
Chemistry; Inorganic chemistry
A soft, black form of carbon made by heating wood or bone in little air or no air. It burns easily and is used as a fuel.
Effervescence
Chemistry; Inorganic chemistry
The formation of bubbles in a liquid when a gas escapes from it and it is called as effervescence.
Simple cubic
Chemistry; Inorganic chemistry
A simple cubic unit cell contains a simple unit cell shape and has one lattice point on each corner. Each atom at a lattice point is then shared equally between eight adjacent cubes, and the unit ...
