(chemistry) a substance that its molecules consist of two or more elements that are held together by a chemical bond
from or related to living things
describing chemical compounds that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and are typically derived from minerals or non-living matter
a liquid that is capable of dissolving another substance

(of a substance) able to break up and disperse within a fluid
unable to be dissolved, especially in a liquid

a compound with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon atom, widely used as solvents, fuels, and in pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis
a compound formed by replacing hydrogen in an acid by a metal (or a radical that acts like a metal)
a reddish-brown alloy made primarily of copper combined with tin, and often small amounts of zinc, nickel, or other metals, to enhance strength and corrosion resistance
a type of hard metal that is made of a mixture of iron and carbon, used in construction of buildings, vehicles, etc.
a soft, black, and highly conductive material made up of carbon atoms that is commonly used in pencils and as a lubricant

(chemistry) to become separated from the solvent in a solid form
having a tendency to change rapidly and unpredictably, often characterized by fluctuations or instability
