Mass spectrometer
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
