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

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

having a tendency to undergo chemical reactions

containing or relating to a dangerous form of energy produced by nuclear reactions

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

a type of chemical bond between two atoms involving the sharing of two pairs of electrons, resulting in a stronger and more stable connection than a single bond

a test that measures the presence, amount, or activity of a specific substance in a sample, often used in scientific and medical research

a state in a chemical reaction where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products

(chemistry) the process of separating a liquid or solution into its parts by passing electricity through it

(of a solid) to become one with a liquid

to make a solution or mixture weaker or less concentrated by adding more liquid
