a thermodynamic measure of the degree of disorder or randomness in a system, denoted by S

エントロピー

a substance that takes part in and undergoes a chemical reaction, leading to the formation of new products

反応物, リアクタント

(chemistry) a substance that causes a chemical reaction to happen at a faster rate without undergoing any chemical change itself

触媒, カタリスト

the acceleration or facilitation of a chemical reaction by a substance (catalyst) that remains unchanged at the end of the reaction

触媒作用, 反応加速

any of two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms and, consequently, different properties

異性体

a large molecule composed of repeating structural units, or monomers, covalently bonded together in a chain-like structure

ポリマー

a compound composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms, with the simplest form being alkanes, alkenes, or alkynes

ハイドロカーボン

a chemical compound derived from the reaction between an alcohol and an organic acid, typically with the elimination of water

エステル

an organic compound with a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a hydrogen atom and another carbon atom, commonly found in essential oils and used in various chemical processes

アルデヒド

a compound with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon atom, widely used as solvents, fuels, and in pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis

アルコール, アルコール類

an organic compound with a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms, commonly found in solvents, pharmaceuticals, and flavorings

ケトン

a chemical reaction where electrons are transferred between substances

酸化還元反応, レドックス反応

the concentration of a solute in a solution, measured in moles per liter (mol/L or M)

モル濃度

a substance that, when dissolved in a solution, produces ions and enables the conduction of electric current

電解質

a mixture where small particles of one substance are evenly dispersed in another substance, typically intermediate in size between solution and suspension particles

コロイド

any substance with a pH of more than seven that neutralizes acids creating salt and water

アルカリ, 塩基

a gas with a strong smell that dissolves in water to give a strongly alkaline solution

アンモニア

a combination of two or more metals, creating a metal that is usually stronger or more resistant

合金

a type of chemical element found in Group 17 of the periodic table, known for being highly reactive and commonly used in disinfectants and lights

ハロゲン

each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, leading to variation in atomic mass

同位体

any of the elements in Group 18 of the periodic table, including helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, characterized by their inert nature and stable electron configurations

希ガス, 不活性ガス

a mixture of two liquids where tiny droplets of one are evenly dispersed in the other, like oil in water

エマルジョン

the time required for half of a quantity of a substance to undergo a change or decay, typically in the context of radioactive decay or chemical reactions

半減期
