CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
acid-base titration → kiselo-bazna titracija
Acid-base titration is an analytical technique in volumetric analysis, where an acid of known concentration is used to neutralise a known volume of a base, and the observed volume of the acid required is used to determine the unknown concentration of the base. An acid-base indicator is used to determine the end-point of the titration.
Bronsted base → Bronstedova baza
Brønsted base is a material that accepts hydrogen ions in a chemical reaction.
Bronsted-Lowry’s acid-base theory → Bronsted-Lowryeva teorija kiselina i lužina
Brønsted-Lowry’s acid-base theory: Acid is a substance which gives a proton (protondonor) and base is a substance which accepts a proton (protonacceptor).
base → baza
Historically, base is a substance that yields an OH - ion when it dissociates in solution, resulting in a pH>7. In the Brønsted definition, a base is a substance capable of accepting a proton in any type of reaction. The more general definition, due to G.N. Lewis, classifies any chemical species capable of donating an electron pair as a base. Typically, bases are metal oxides, hydroxides, or compounds (such as ammonia) that give hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.
conjugated base → konjugirana baza
Conjugated base is a particle which is left after a molecule of acid releases a proton.
lattice → kristalna rešetka
Crystal lattice is a three-dimensional array of points that embodies the pattern of repetition in a crystalline solid. Don’t mix up atoms with lattice points: lattice points are infinitesimal points in space - atoms are physical objects.
lattice constants → konstante kristalne rešetke
Lattice constants are parameters specifying the dimensions of a unit cell in a crystal lattice, specifically the lengths of the cell edges and the angles between them.
lattice energy → energija kristalne rešetke
Lattice energy is the energy per ion pair required to separate completely the ions in a crystal lattice at a temperature of absolute zero.
Lewis base → Lewisova baza
Lewis base is an agent capable of donating a pair of electrons to form a coordinate bond.
molecular lattice → molekularna rešetka
Molecular lattice is a crystal lattice made molecules bonded together by intermolecular forces.
