CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
Nessler’s reagent → Nesslerov reagens
Nessler’s reagent is a solution of mercury(II) iodide (HgI2) in potassium iodide and potassium hydroxide named after the German chemist Julius Nessler (1827-1905). It is used in testing for ammonia, with which it forms a brown coloration or precipitate.
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.
neutral substance → neutralna tvar
Neutral substance is a substance that shows no acid or base properties, has an equal number of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions and does not change the colour of litmus-paper.
neutralisation → neutralizacija
Neutralisation is the process in which an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water.
neutron number → neutronski broj
Neutron number (N) is a characteristic property of a specific isotope of an element, equal to the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Newtonian fluid → Newtonski fluid
Newtonian fluid is a fluid whose viscosity does not depend on gradients in flow speed. Gases and low-molecular weight liquids are usually Newtonian fluids.
