cadmium → kadmij

Cadmium was discovered by Friedrich Strohmeyer (Germany) in 1817. The origin of the name comes from the Latin word cadmia meaning calamine (zinc carbonate, ZnCO₃), or from the Greek word kadmeia with the same meaning. It is soft, malleable, blue-white metal. Tarnishes in air, soluble in acids, insoluble in alkalis. Boiling cadmium gives off a weird, yellow-colored vapour that is poisonous. Cadmium can cause a variety of health problems, including kidney failure and high blood pressure. Cadmium is obtained as a by product of zinc refining. The mayor use of cadmium is in electroplating of steel to protect it from corrosion. Also used to make nickel-cadmium batteries. The ability of cadmium to adsorb neutrons has made it of great importance in the design of nuclear reactors. Its compounds are found in paint pigments and a wide variety of intense colours.

californium → kalifornij

Californium was discovered by Stanley G. Thompson, Kenneth Street Jr. and Albert Ghiorso (USA) in 1950. Named after the State and University of California, USA. It is synthetic radioactive metal. Powerful neutron emitter. Californium was made by bombarding curium with helium ions.

carboanhidrase → karboanhidraze

Carboanhidrase is an enzyme that catalyzes creation or decomposition of carbonic acid, regulates proportion of carbon dioxide and carbonic acid in the blood plasma.

carbonates → karbonati

Carbonates are compounds composed of metal cation and carbonate anion (CO₃^2-), salts of carbonic acid.

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.

carboxylate group → karboksilna skupina

Carboxylate group (-COOH) is a functional group which is common to all carboxylic acids.

carboxylate ion → karboksilatni ion

Carboxylate ion is gained when carboxylic acid reacts with water.

carboxylates → karboksilati

Carboxylates is a common name for all salts that carboxylic acids yield by reacting with hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates and other alkaline reagents.

carmine → karmin

Carmine is a bright crimson red colour gained from a type of plant lice. Its main ingredient is carmine acid, and it is often used in the colouring of cosmetics, medicines, foods.

cation exchange → kationski izmjenjivač

Cation exchange is a cationic resin has positive ions built into its structure and therefore exchanges negative ions. In the cation exchange, the side groups are ionised acidic groups, such as (-SO₃H, -COOH, -OH) to which cations H⁺ are attached. The exchange reaction is one in which different cations in the solution displace the H⁺ from the solid.
