The most famous type of garnet stone is pyrope (flaming). This is the "oldest of garnets", with a dense red color, similar to the grain of an edible garnet. Pyrope has a variety called rhodolite - a stone of dense pink or pink-purple color, which sometimes has the alexandrite effect and is used in...

Inert s-pair Effect
Characteristic of the post-transition minerals, tendency of the outermost s electrons to remain nonionized or un shared in compounds.
Cell Potential
Potential difference, Ecell, between oxidation and reduction half-cells under nonstandard conditions.
Electronic Transition
The transfer of an electron from one energy level to another.
Leveling Effect
Effect by which all acids stronger than the acid that is characteristic of the solvent react with solvent to produce that acid, similar statement applies to bases. The strongest acid (base) that can exist in a given solvent is the acid (base) characteristic of the solvent.
Breeder Reactor
A nuclear reactor that produces more fissionable nuclear fuel than it consumes.
Combustible
Classification of liquid substances that will burn on the basis of flash points. A combustible liquid means any liquid having a flash point at or above 37.8°C (100°F) but below 93.3°C (200°F), except any mixture having components with flash points of 93.3°C (200°F) or higher, the total of which makes up 99 percent or more of the total volume of the mixture.
Anion
A negative ion, an atom or goup of atoms that has gained one or more electrons.
Fractional Precipitation
Removal of some ions from solution by precipitation while leaving other ions with similar properties in solution.
Associated Ions
Short-lived species formed by the collision of dissolved ions of opposite charges.
Debye
The unit used to express dipole moments.
