Hecdecane :: Hecdecane (n.) A white, semisolid, spermaceti-like hydrocarbon, C16H34, of the paraffin series, found dissolved as an important ingredient of kerosene, and so called because each molecule has sixteen atoms of carbon; -- called also hexadecane..

Pentabasic :: Pentabasic (a.) Capable of uniting with five molecules of a monacid base; having five acid hydrogen atoms capable of substitution by a basic radical; -- said of certain acids.

Stereo-chemistry :: Stereo-chemical (a.) Pertaining to, or illustrating, the hypothetical space relations of atoms in the molecule; as, a stereo-chemic formula..

Molecule :: Molecule (n.) One of the very small invisible particles of which all matter is supposed to consist.

Diselenide :: Diselenide (n.) A selenide containing two atoms of selenium in each molecule.

Disulphuric :: Disulphuric (a.) Applied to an acid having in each molecule two atoms of sulphur in the higher state of oxidation.

Pentane :: Pentane (n.) Any one of the three metameric hydrocarbons, C5H12, of the methane or paraffin series. They are colorless, volatile liquids, two of which occur in petroleum. So called because of the five carbon atoms in the molecule..

Tripalmitate :: Tripalmitate (n.) A palmitate derived from three molecules of palmitic acid.

Tetrakosane :: Tetrakosane (n.) A hydrocarbon, C24H50, resembling paraffin, and like it belonging to the marsh-gas series; -- so called from having twenty-four atoms of carbon in the molecule..

Molecule :: Molecule (n.) A group of atoms so united and combined by chemical affinity that they form a complete, integrated whole, being the smallest portion of any particular compound that can exist in a free state; as, a molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Cf. Atom..

Pentatomic :: Pentatomic (a.) Having five atoms in the molecule.

Intramolecular :: Intramolecular (a.) Between molecules; situated, or acting, between the molecules of bodies..

Tetratomic :: Tetratomic (a.) Consisting of four atoms; having four atoms in the molecule, as phosphorus and arsenic..

Stearolic :: Stearin (n.) One of the constituents of animal fats and also of some vegetable fats, as the butter of cacao. It is especially characterized by its solidity, so that when present in considerable quantity it materially increases the hardness, or raises the melting point, of the fat, as in mutton tallow. Chemically, it is a compound of glyceryl with three molecules of stearic acid, and hence is technically called tristearin, or glyceryl tristearate..

Vacuist :: Vacuist (n.) One who holds the doctrine that the space between the bodies of the universe, or the molecules and atoms of matter., is a vacuum; -- opposed to plenist..

Hexatomic :: Hexatomic (a.) Having six atoms in the molecule.

Corpuscle :: Corpuscle (n.) A minute particle; an atom; a molecule.

Pentadecane :: Pentadecane (n.) A hydrocarbon of the paraffin series, (C15H32) found in petroleum, tar oil, etc., and obtained as a colorless liquid; -- so called from the fifteen carbon atoms in the molecule..

Polysulphide :: Polysulphide (n.) A sulphide having more than one atom of sulphur in the molecule; -- contrasted with monosulphide.

Monoxide :: Monoxide (n.) An oxide containing one atom of oxygen in each molecule; as, barium monoxide..
