CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
perfect crystal → savršeni kristal
Perfect crystal is a crystal with no defects or impurities made of completely identical repeating subunits. Further, a perfect crystal has only one possible arrangement of subunits, with every subunit making exactly the same contribution to the total energy of the crystal.
anisotropic crystal → anizotropni kristal
Anisotropic crystal is a crystal that exhibits different properties when tested along axes in different directions.
crystal → kristal
Crystal is a solid with a regular geometric shape, having a characteristic internal structure and enclosed by symmetrically arranged plane surfaces, intersecting at definite and characteristic angles. In crystals the particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) have a regular three-dimensional repeating arrangement in space. This is called the crystal structure. The crystal lattice is the arrangement of points in space at which the particles are positioned.
ideal crystal → idealni kristal
Ideal crystal is a single crystal with a perfectly regular lattice that contains no impurities, imperfections, or other defects.
isotropic crystal → izotropni kristal
The measured properties of an isotropic crystal are independent of the axis of testing. Opposite of anisotropic.
liquid crystal → tekući kristal
Liquid crystals or crystalline liquids are a physical state between crystals and melts. The liquid crystalline phase - the so-called mesophase - is formed at the melting point. The most important (usable) mesophases are nematic, cholesteric and smectic phase, having different molecular orientations.
crystal water → kristalna voda
Crystal water is water contained in certain salt crystals. It can be removed by heating. Crystals that contain crystal water are called hydrated and their salts hydrates.
crystallisation → kristalizacija
Crystallisation is process in which the melted substance from a saturated solution turns into solid substance (crystal).
crystallography → kristalografija
Crystallography is a science that studies structure, shapes, crystalline properties and laws of their creation.
