Results 1–10 of 132 for oksim

oxime → oksim

Oximes are organic compounds of structure R₂C=NOH derived from condensation of aldehydes or ketones with hydroxylamine. Oximes from aldehydes may be called aldoximes; those from ketones may be called ketoximes.

neutral oxide → neutralni oksid

Neutral oxides are those oxides which show neither basic nor acidic properties when they react with water. Examples include carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) which are only slightly soluble in water, and nitric oxide (NO) which is appreciably soluble in cold water.

oxidating agent → oksidans

Oxidating agent is a substance that receives electrons and oxidates other substances. Oxidating agent is always reduced in this reaction.

oxidation → oksidacija

The term oxidation originally meant a reaction in which oxygen combines chemically with another substance. More generally, oxidation is a part of a chemical reaction in which a reactant loses electrons (increases oxidation number). Simultaneous reduction of a different reactant must occur (redox reaction).

oxidation degree → stupanj oksidacije

See oxidation numbers

oxygenation → oksigenacija

Oxygenation is the addition of pure oxygen to the water, to increase the dissolved oxygen concentration of the water.

oxidation number → oksidacijski broj

Atoms can give one or more electrons for bond forming. The valence of any atom, which comes from stechiometrical relation of interbonded atoms, is called an oxidation number or an oxidation degree. Oxidation number of atoms in elementary state is zero. An atom of greater electronegativity has a negative, and an atom of lesser electronegativity has a positive oxidation number.

acid rain → kisela kiša

Acid rain is rainwater that shows acid reaction because of nitrogen and sulphur oxides absorption. It is generated mainly by industrial pollutions.

acrylic acid → akrilna kiselina

Acrylic acid (propenoic acid) is a colourless liquid, smelling like acetic acid. It can be formed by acrolein oxidation. It readily polymerizes and is used in the manufacture of acrylic resins, transparent plastic materials (organic glass).

aerogel → aerogel

Aerogel is a low-density porous transparent material that consists of more than 90 % air. Usually based on metal oxides or silica, aerogels are used as drying agents and insulators.
