CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
plastic welding → varenje plastike
Plastic welding is the fusion of two pieces (usually of the same plastic type) with a directed hot air jet and plastic welding rod. Used increasingly for the manufacture of tanks, floats and other items. Useful for repair of pipework (either temporary or permanent).
plexiglas → pleksi-staklo
Plexiglas is a hard, highly resistant, transparent, and almost unbreakable glass made from polyakryl resins. It is used for making windows for cars, planes etc.
point-like object → materijalna točka
Point-like object is an expression, usual in kinematics: a point-like object (or a particle) is an object with dimensions, which can be neglected while considering its motion.
polar covalent bond → polarna kovalentna veza
Polar covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the electrons are not equally shared because one atom attracts them more strongly than the other
polar solvent → polarno otapalo
Polar solvent is a liquid with polar molecules which dissolves polar compounds, because the charges on the endings of the solvent’s molecules attract the elements from ion crystals.
polarised light → polarizirana svjetlost
Polarised light is light whose electromagnetic waves oscillate only in one flat vertical on expansion of the direction of radiation.
polariser → polarizator
Polariser is frequently a specially made prism from crystal of Iceland Spar (form of calcium carbonate), also known as Nicol’s prism. It can also be a small plate of tourmaline.
polycondensational polymer → polikondenzacijski polimer
Polycondensational polymers are compounds which are obtained by condensation polymerization with successive repetitions of the condensation reaction.
