An instrument used to measure the precise masses and relative amounts of atomic and molecular ions
|
|
Matter
|
Anything that occupies space and has mass; the physical material of the universe
|
|
Matter waves
|
The term used to describe the wave characteristics of a particle
|
|
Mean free path
|
The average distance traveled by a gas molecule between collisions
|
|
Metal complex
|
An assebly of a metal ion and the lewis bases bonded to it
|
|
metallic bond
|
Bonding usually in solid metals, in which the bonding electrons are relatively free to move throughout the three-dimensional structure
|
|
Metallic character
|
The extent to which an element exhibits the physical and chmical properties characteristic of metals, for example, luster, malleability, ductility, and good thermal and electrical conductivity
|
|
Metallic elements
|
Elements that are usually solids at room temperature, exhibit high electrical and heat conductivity, and appear lustrous. Most of the elements in the periodic table are metals
|
|
Metallic hydrides
|
Compounds pormed when hydrogen reacts with transitions metals; these compounds contain the hydride ion, H-
|
|
Metallic solids
|
Solids that are composed of metal atoms
|
|
Metalloids
|
Elements that lie along the diagonal line separating the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table; the properties of metalloids are intermediate between those of mmetals and nonmetals
|
|
Metallurgy
|
The science of extracting metals from their natural sources by a combination of chemical and physical processes. It is also concerned with the properties and structures of metals and alloys
|
|
metathesis reaction
|
A reaction in which two substances react through an exchange of their component ions. precipitation and acid-base neutralization reactions are examples of this
|
|
Metric system
|
A system of measurement used in science and in most countries. The meter and the gram are examples of metric units
|
|
Microstate
|
The state of a system at a particular instant; one of many possible states of the system
|
|
mineral
|
A solid, inorganic substance occuring in nature, such as calcium carbonate, which occurs as calcite
|
|
miscible
|
Liquids that mix in all proportions
|
|
Mixture
|
A combination of two or more substances in which each substance retains its own chemical identity
|
|
Molal boiling point elevation constant
|
A constant characteristic of a particular solvent that gives the increase in boinling point as a function of solution molality
|
|
Molal freezing point depression constant
|
A constant characteristic of a particular solvent that gives the decrease in freezing point as a function of solution molality
|
|
Molality
|
The concentration of a solution expressed as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent; abbreviated m
|
|
Molar heat capacity
|
The heat required to rais the temperature of one mole of a substance by 1C
|
|
Molarity
|
The concentration of a solution expressed as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent; abbreviated M
|
|
Molar mass
|
The mass of one mole of a substance in grams; it is numberically equal to the fomula weight oin atomic mass units
|
|
Mole
|
A collection of Avogadro's number of objects
