-
Alkyne
any unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon that has a formula of the type CnH2n-2
-
Isomer
Any of two or more substances that are composed of the same elements in the same proportions but differ in properties because of differences in the arrangement of atoms.
-
Functional Group
An atom or group of atoms, such as a carboxyl group, that replaces hydrogen in an organic compound and that defines the structure of a family of compounds and determines the properties of the family.
-
Polymer
Any of numerous natural and synthetic compounds of usually high molecular weight consisting of up to millions of repeated linked units, each a relatively light and simple molecule.
-
Monomer
A molecule that can combine with others to form a polymer
-
Suspension
A system in which microscopically visible particles are dispersed throughout a less dense liquid or gas from which they are easily filtered but not easily settled because of system viscocity or molecular interactions.
-
Colloid

-
Solvent
Capable of dissolving another substance.
-
Solute
A substance dissolved in another substance, usually the component of a solution present in the lesser amount.
-
