Most Popular
Nuclear Reaction
Involves a change in the composition of a nucleus and can evolve or absorb an extraordinarily large amount of energy.
Alkylbenzene
A compound containing an alkyl group bonded to a benzene ring.
Covalent Compounds
Compounds containing predominantly covalent bonds.
Reverse Osmosis
Forcing solvent molecules to flow through a semipermable membrane from a concentated solution into a dilute solution by the application of greater hydrostatic pressure on concentrated side than the osmotic pressure opposing it.
Boiling Point
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the applied pressure, also the condensation point
Fuel Cells
Voltaic cells in which the reactants (usually gases) are supplied continuously.
A voltaic cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidizing agent directly into electriacl energy on a continuous basis.
Dynamic Equilibrium
An equilibrium in which processes occur continuously, with no net change. When two (or more) processes occur at the same rate so that no net change occurs.
Stereoisomers
Isomers that differ only in the way that atoms are oriented in space, consist of geometrical and optical isomers.
Condensation
Liquefaction of vapor.
Denaturation
A process pertaining to a change in structure of a protein form regular to irregular arrangement of the polypeptide chains.
