Most Popular
Diamagnetism
Weak repulsion by a magnetic field.
Optical Isomers
Stereoisomers that differ only by being nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other, like right and left hands, also called enantiomers.
Partial Pressure
The pressure exerted by one gas in a mixture of gases.
Ground State
The lowest energy state or most stable state of an atom, molecule or ion.
PseudobinaryIonic Compounds
Compounds that contain more than two elements but are named like binary compounds.
Hydrocarbons
Compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen.
Catalyst
A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed itself in the reaction.
A substance that alters (usually increases) the rate at which a reaction occurs.
xanthate
A salt or ester of xanthic acid. Many xanthates have a yellow color. Xanthates are used as flotation agents in mineral processing.
Geometrical Isomers
Compounds with different arrangements of groups on either side of a bond with restricted rotation, such as a double bond or a single bond in a ring, for example cis-trans isomers of certain alkenes. Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other, also known as position isomers.
Oxidation
An algebraic increase in the oxidation number, may correspond to a loss of electrons.
