Term
|
Definition
| is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms, known as allotropes of these elements. Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element;[1] the atoms of the element arebonded together in a different manner. For example, the allotropes of carbon include diamond (where the carbon atoms are bonded together in a tetrahedral lattice arrangement), graphite (where the carbon atoms are bonded together in sheets of a hexagonal lattice), graphene (single sheets of graphite), and fullerenes (where the carbon atoms are bonded together in spherical, tubular, or ellipsoidal formations). The term allotropy is used for elements only, not for compounds. |

Term
define colligative properties
|
|
Definition
In chemistry, colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend upon the ratio of the number of solute particles to the number of solvent molecules in a solution, and not on the type of chemical species present.[1] This number ratio can be related to the various units for concentration of solutions. Here we shall only consider those properties which result because of the dissolution of nonvolatile solute in a volatile liquid solvent.[2] They are independent of the nature of the solute particles, and are due essentially to the dilution of the solvent by the solute. The word colligative is derived from the Latin colligatus meaning bound together.[3]
Colligative properties include:
- Relative lowering ofvapor pressure
- Elevation of boiling point
- Depression of freezing point
- Osmotic pressure.
