CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
azo compounds → azo-spojevi
Azo compounds are organic compounds containing the group -N=N- linking two other groups. They can be formed by reaction of a diazonium ion with a benzene ring.
bioelement → bioelement
Bioelement is any chemical element that is found in the molecules and compounds that make up living organism.
carbon dating → određivanje starosti radioaktivnim ugljikom
Carbon dating is used to the time passed since a living organism died. It is based on measuring the quantity of isotope of carbon-14 that is contained in all living organisms.
carbonization → karbonizacija
Carbonization begins when you heat organic substances like wood, sugar or meat with no presence of air; they go black because of secreted carbon.
chemical cleaning → kemijsko čišćenje
Chemical cleaning is a removal of fatty and other impurities combined with it from fabrics with the help of organic solvents.
chemical kinetics → kemijska kinetika
Chemical kinetics is an area of chemistry that studies rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions.
chemical raw material → kemijske sirovine
Chemical raw material are petroleum fractions used for obtaining organic chemicals, those are mostly refined gas and petroleum or fraction parts of petrol.
chemical technology → kemijska tehnologija
Chemical technology is a branch of applied chemistry that concerns technical methods and devices in order to manufacture a chemical product.
carbon → ugljik
Carbon has been known since ancient times. The origin of the name comes from the Latin word carbo meaning charcoal. Graphite form of carbon is a black, odourless, slippery solid. Graphite sublimes at 3825 °C. Diamond form is a clear or colored; an extremely hard solid. C60 is Buckminsterfullerine. Carbon black burns readily with oxidants. Carbon is made by burning organic compounds with insufficient oxygen. There are close to ten million known carbon compounds, many thousands of which are vital to organic and life processes. Radiocarbon dating uses the carbon-14 isotope to date old objects.
carboxylic acids → karboksilne kiseline
Carboxylic acids are organic compounds characterized by the presence of one or more RC(=O)OH groups (the carboxyl group). In the systematic chemical nomenclature carboxylic acids names end in the suffix -oic (e.g. ethanoic acids, CH3COOH). The carbon of the terminal group being counted as part of the chain. They are generally weak acids. Carboxylic acids include a large and important class of fatty acids and may be either saturated or unsaturated. There are also some natural aromatic carboxylic acids (benzoic, salicylic).
