  2. Amorphous solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_solid

    Amorphous materials will have some degree of short-range order at the atomic-length scale due to the nature of intermolecular chemical bonding. [ a ] Furthermore, in very small crystals , short-range order encompasses a large fraction of the atoms ; nevertheless, relaxation at the surface, along with interfacial effects, distorts the atomic ...

  3. IUPAC numerical multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_numerical_multiplier

    The numbers 200-900 would be confused easily with 22 to 29 if they were used in chemistry. khīlioi = 1000, diskhīlioi = 2000, triskhīlioi = 3000, etc. 13 to 19 are formed by starting with the Greek word for the number of ones, followed by και (the Greek word for 'and'), followed by δέκα (the Greek word for 'ten').

  4. Amorphous calcium phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_calcium_phosphate

    Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is a glassy solid that is formed from the chemical decomposition of a mixture of dissolved phosphate and calcium salts (e.g. (NH 4) 2 HPO 4 + Ca(NO 3) 2). The resulting amorphous mixture consists mostly of calcium and phosphate, but also contains varying amounts of water and hydrogen and hydroxide ions ...

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.

  8. Pyrophoricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophoricity

    The creation of sparks from metals is based on the pyrophoricity of small metal particles, and pyrophoric alloys are made for this purpose. [2] Practical applications include the sparking mechanisms in lighters and various toys, using ferrocerium; starting fires without matches, using a firesteel; the flintlock mechanism in firearms; and spark testing ferrous metals.

  9. Moiety (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiety_(chemistry)

    In organic chemistry, a moiety (/ ˈ m ɔɪ ə t i / MOY-ə-tee) is a part of a molecule [1] [2] that is given a name because it is identified as a part of other molecules as well.
