CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
cannabinoides → kanabinoidi
Cannabionides are phenolic compounds present in hallucinogenic drug cannabis sativa that comes from hemp.
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.
carbolineum → karbolineum
Carbolineum is a mixture of ingredients of pit coal tar with the boiling point above 270 °C, red-brown oil with tar smell. It is a wood preservative.
carbon dating → određivanje starosti radioaktivnim ugljikom
Carbon dating is used to the time passed since a living organism died. It is based on measuring the quantity of isotope of carbon-14 that is contained in all living organisms.
base-centered monoclinic lattice → bazno centrirana monoklinska rešetka
Base-centered or side-centered or end-centered monoclinic lattice (monoclinic-C), like all lattices, has lattice points at the eight corners of the unit cell plus additional points at the centers of two parallel sides of the unit cell. It has unit cell vectors a≠b≠c, and interaxial angles α=γ=90°≠β.
base-centered orthorhombic lattice → bazno centrirana ortorompska rešetka
Base-centered or side-centered or end-centered monoclinic lattice (orthorhombic-C), like all lattices, has lattice points at the eight corners of the unit cell plus additional points at the centers of two parallel sides of the unit cell. It has unit cell vectors a≠b≠c and interaxial angles α=β=γ=90°.
battery → baterija
Battery a device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy. The process underlying the operation of a battery involves a chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred from one chemical species to another. This process is carried out in two half-reactions, one that involves the loss of electrons and one that involves their gain. The battery is an electrochemical cell divided in two half-cells, and reaction proceeds when these are connected together by an electrically conducting pathway. The passage of electrons from one half-cell to the other corresponds to an electric current. Each half-cell contains an electrode in contact with the reacting species. The electrode which passes electrons into the circuit when battery discharges is called anode and is negative terminal. The electrode which receives electrons is called cathode, and is the battery’s positive terminal. The electrical circuit is completed by an electrolyte, an electrically conducting substance placed between the two electrodes which carriers a flow of charge between them. In wet cells, the electrolyte is a liquid containing dissolved ions, whose motion generates an electrical current; in dry cells the electrolyte is basely solid, for example, a solid with mobile ions or porous solid saturated with an ionic solution.
carbon fibre → ugljično vlakno
Carbon fibres are threadlike strands of pure carbon that are strong and flexible. Carbon fibres can be bound in a plastic resin matrix to form a strong composite. It is light-weight and stronger than steel.
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.
carcinogen → kancerogene tvari
Carcinogen is any substance that can cause or contribute to the production of cancer.
