isobath → izobata

Isobaths are lines connecting points of equal depth in lakes and oceans. The name comes from Greek bathus meaning deep.

isochore → izohora

Isochore is a line or surface of constant volume on a graphic representation of a physical system.

Erbium was discovered by Carl Gustaf Mosander (Sweden) in 1843. Named after Ytterby, a village in Sweden. It is soft, malleable, silvery metal. Reacts slowly with water. Dissolves in acids. Metal ignites and burns readily. Erbium is found with other heavier rare earths in xenotime and euxenite. Erbium oxide is used in ceramics to obtain a pink glaze. Also a few uses in the nuclear industry and as an alloying agent for other exotic metals.

Erlenmeyer flask → Erlenmeyerova tikvica

Erlenmeyer flask is a glass container which has a narrow, cylindrical mouth and a cone-shaped main body that ends in a wide, flat bottom. It was named after its inventor, a German chemist Richard Erlenmeyer (1825-1909). Erlenmeyer flasks are most often used in titrations to hold the liquid that is being titrated.

ester → ester

Esters are organic compounds formed by a reaction between alcohol and acids. Esters formed from carboxylic acids have the general formula RCOOR’. Triesters, molecules containing three ester groups, occur in nature as oils and fats.

ether → eter

Ethers are organic compounds with a formula R-O-R, where R is not equal to H. They may be derived from alcohols by elimination of water, but the major method is catalytic hydration of olefins. They are volatile highly flammable compounds; when containing peroxides they can detonate on heating. The term ether is often used synonymously with diethyl ether.

isotherm → izoterma

Isotherm is a line connecting points of equal temperature on a graphic representation of a physical system.

isotonic solution → izotonična otopina

Isotonic solutions are the solutions that have equal osmotic pressure.

isotope → izotop

Isotopes are two or more nuclides with the same atomic number Z but different mass number A. The term is sometimes used synonymously with nuclide, but it is preferable to reserve the word nuclide for a species of specific Z and A.

isotropic crystal → izotropni kristal

The measured properties of an isotropic crystal are independent of the axis of testing. Opposite of anisotropic.
