A coordination complex is an inorganic chemical compound where a central atom (usually a metal) has an electron shell which permits it to combine with…

Metallurgy is the study of metals. Alloys (mixtures of metals) are also studied. People who study or work with metals are called metallurgists. It is…

Some chemical elements are called metals. It is a class of substances characterized by high electrical and thermal conductivity as well as by malleability, ductility, and…

Metabolic rate is the rate of metabolism, the amount of energy used by an animal per unit of time. The metabolic rate of the body is the…

Malleability is a substance’s ability to deform under pressure (compressive stress). It is the ability of a substance, usually a metal, to be deformed or…

Ductility is when a solid material stretches under tensile stress. It is a measure of a metal’s ability to withstand tensile stress—any force that pulls…

A macromolecule is a molecule with a large number of atoms. They are long repetitive sequences of an elementary chemical structure called the monomer. They…

A liquid is a form of matter. It is settled between solid and gas. It has a defined volume but can change state. An example…

Le Châtelier’s principle is a principle used in Chemistry and Physics to describe how a system at equilibrium reacts to external changes. It can be…

Chemical nomenclature is a set of rules for creating a system of names (“nomenclature”) for chemicals. It is the term given to the naming of…

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is an international organization that represents chemists in individual countries. It governs everything to do with…

Isotope electrochemistry is a field within electrochemistry concerned with various topics like electrochemical separation of isotopes, electrochemical estimation of isotopic exchange equilibrium constants, electrochemical kinetic…
