AMINO |
Basic acid |
|
RNA |
Basic yeast acid |
|
ELECTRO-NEGATIVE |
Negative; nonmetallic; acid; -- opposed to
positive, metallic, or basic. |
|
ANTIMONATE |
A compound of antimonic acid with a base or basic
radical. |
|
|
|
ANTIMONITE |
A compound of antimonious acid and a base or basic
radical. |
|
ELECTRO-POSITIVE |
Hence: Positive; metallic; basic; --
distinguished from negative, nonmetallic, or acid. |
|
NONACID |
Destitute of acid properties; hence, basic; metallic;
positive; -- said of certain atoms and radicals. |
|
POSITIVE |
Hence, basic; metallic; not acid; -- opposed to negative,
and said of metals, bases, and basic radicals. |
|
|
|
TETRATOMIC |
Having a valence of four; quadrivalent; tetravalent;
sometimes, in a specific sense, having four hydroxyl groups, whether
acid or basic. |
|
TRISNITRATE |
A nitrate formed from three molecules of nitric acid;
also, less properly, applied to certain basic nitrates; as, trisnitrate
of bismuth. |
|
FLUOSILICATE |
A double fluoride of silicon and some other (usually
basic) element or radical, regarded as a salt of fluosilicic acid; --
called also silicofluoride. |
|
PENTABASIC |
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. |
|
DIBASIC |
Having two acid hydrogen atoms capable of replacement by
basic atoms or radicals, in forming salts; bibasic; -- said of acids,
as oxalic or sulphuric acids. Cf. Diacid, Bibasic. |
|
NEUTRAL |
Having neither acid nor basic properties; unable to turn
red litmus blue or blue litmus red; -- said of certain salts or other
compounds. Contrasted with acid, and alkaline. |
|
TRIATOMIC |
Having a valence of three; trivalent; sometimes, in a
specific sense, having three hydroxyl groups, whether acid or basic;
thus, glycerin, glyceric acid, and tartronic acid are each triatomic. |
|
VERDIGRIS |
A green poisonous substance used as a pigment and drug,
obtained by the action of acetic acid on copper, and consisting
essentially of a complex mixture of several basic copper acetates. |
|
UNISILICATE |
A salt of orthosilicic acid, H4SiO4; -- so called
because the ratio of the oxygen atoms united to the basic metals and
silicon respectively is 1:1; for example, Mg2SiO4 or 2MgO.SiO2. |
|
ALKALAMIDE |
One of a series of compounds that may be regarded as
ammonia in which a part of the hydrogen has been replaced by basic, and
another part by acid, atoms or radicals. |
