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

entropie

a substance that is dissolved in a solvent, resulting in a solution

oplosmiddel

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

reagens

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

katalysator

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

katalyse

a chemical bond where atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule

covalente binding

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

isomeer

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

ester

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

aldehyde
