Chemistry; General chemistry
Strong type of intermolecular dipole-dipole attraction. Occurs between hydrogen and F, O or N.
hydrolysis
Chemistry; General chemistry
The reactions of cations with water to produce a weak base or of anions to produce a weak acid.
ideal gas law
Chemistry; General chemistry
The relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and moles of gas (n). This equation expresses behavior of real gases at low pressure and high temperature. PV=nRT
nm
Chemistry; General chemistry
An abbreviation for nanometers. A nanometer is equal to 10-9 meters.
nucleus
Chemistry; General chemistry
The central part of an atom that contains the protons and neutrons. Plural nuclei.
octet
Chemistry; General chemistry
In Lewis structures the goal is to make almost all atoms have an octet. This means that they will have access to 8 electrons regularly, even if they do have to share some of them.
orbitals
Chemistry; General chemistry
An energy state in the atomic model which describes where an electron will likely be.
