Easily drawn into wire or hammered thin |
|
crystal |
A homogenous solid formed by a repeating, three-dimensional pattern of atoms |
|
unit cell |
The simplest repeating unit in a crystal |
|
polymer |
a substance that has a molecular structure consisting chiefly of a large number of similar units bonded together |
|
monomer |
a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer |
|
compound |
a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture |
|
chemical formula |
An expression which states the number and type of atoms present in a molecule of a substance. |
