Varieties of garnet minerals
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...

The most expensive metal in the world
Do you think the most expensive metal is gold? No! On earth there are more valuable metals. But we need to divide the value of metals that occur in nature, and metals - isotopes, which are obtained in special laboratories. Let’s look at natural metals first.

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...

Chemical Safety
People use chemicals every day for a wide array of purposes, which can include work and house hold duties. Many of us fail to realize that we are actually handling potentially deadly chemicals when we simply clean the bathroom or wash the car. This brings to mind the reason why chemical safety is...

The buildup of a product of oxidation or a reduction of an electrode, preventing further reaction.
Law of Conservation of Matter
There is no detectable change in the quantity of matter during an ordinary chemical reaction.
Polydentate
Refers to ligands with more than one donor atom.
Condensed Phases
The liquid and solid phases, phases in which particles interact strongly.
Eluate
Solvent (or mobile phase) which passes through a chromatographic column and removes the sample components from the stationary phase.
Beta Particle
Electron emitted from the nucleus when a neuton decays to a proton and an electron.
Base
A substance that produces OH (aq) ions in aqueous solution. Strong soluable bases are soluble in water and are completely dissociated. Weak bases ionize only slightly.
Lanthanides
Elements 58 to 71 (after lanthanum).
Inner Orbital Complex
Valence bond designation for a complex in which the metal ion utilizes d orbitals for one shell inside the outermost occupied shell in its hybridization.
Free Radical
A highly reactive chemical species carrying no charge and having a single unpaired electron in an orbital.
