What are Compound Microscopes?
Most of the microscopes used today are compound. A compound microscope features two or more lenses. A hollow cylinder called the tube connects the two lenses. The top lens, the one people look through, is called the eyepiece. The bottom lens is known as the objective lens. Below the two lenses is...

Hydrate Isomers
Isomers of crystalline complexes that differ in whether water is present inside or outside the coordination sphere.
Colligative Properties
Physical properties of solutions that depend upon the number but not the kind of solute particles present.
Isomorphous
Refers to crystals having the same atomic arrangement.
Heat of Solution
The amount of heat absorbed in the formation of solution that contains one mole of solute, the value is positive if heat is absorbed (endothermic) and negative if heat is released (exothermic).
Melting Point
The temperature at which liquid and solid coexist in equilibrium, also the freezing point.
