Magnesium word list, defined
- MAGNESIUM /ˈmæɡniʒiəm/ · noun
- A chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12, the eighth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. It is a silvery-white, alkaline earth metal. Related: aluminum, calcium, sodium, potassium.
- ELEMENT /ˈɛlɪmənt/ · noun
- A fundamental or essential part of something larger; in chemistry and physics, a substance consisting of atoms all with the same atomic number that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. Related: component, constituent, ingredient, factor.
- ATOM /ˈætəm/ · noun
- The smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element, consisting of a nucleus of protons and neutrons orbited by electrons. More broadly, the tiniest conceivable particle or amount of something. Related: particle, molecule, unit, speck.
- ELECTRON /ɪˈlɛktrɒn/ · noun
- A stable subatomic particle with a negative electric charge, found in all atoms and moving around the nucleus. Electrons are the primary carriers of electricity in solids and are responsible for chemical bonding. Related: negatron, subatomic particle, charged particle, beta particle.
- PROTON /ˈproʊtɑːn/ · noun
- A subatomic particle that has a positive charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom. It is one of the three main components of an atom, along with neutrons and electrons. Related: ion, particle, subatomic particle, nucleon.
- NEUTRON /njuːtrɒn/ · noun
- A subatomic particle with no electric charge and a mass slightly greater than that of a proton. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom and play a key role in nuclear reactions. Related: proton, electron, ion, nucleus.
- VALENCE /ˈvæləns/ · noun
- The capacity of an atom or radical to combine with others; the number of electrons an atom loses or gains to form a chemical bond. In chemistry, the valence of an atom is a measure of its combining power. Related: combining power, chemical affinity, electronegativity, oxidation state.
- REACTION /riːˈækʃən/ · noun, verb
- A natural response to a situation or stimulus, or a chemical change that occurs when a substance reacts with another substance. A feeling or emotion that is caused by something. Related: response, response, outcome, result.
- OXIDE /ˈɔksaɪd/ · noun
- A chemical compound that contains an oxide ion, typically formed by the reaction of an element with oxygen. Oxides can be found naturally or synthesized in a laboratory. Related: compound, chemical, substance.
- SULFATE /sʌlfɪeɪt/ · noun
- A salt or ester of sulphuric acid, typically used as a detergent or in the manufacture of glass and paper. Related: sulphate, sulfonate, salt, detergent.
- CHLORIDE /ˈklɔːraɪd/ · noun
- A compound of chlorine with another element or group, especially a binary compound such as sodium chloride. In physiology, chloride refers to the chloride ion (Cl⁻), an essential electrolyte in blood and body fluids. Related: salt, halide, electrolyte.
- CARBONATE /ˈkɑːrbənət/ (noun); verb often /ˈkɑːrbəˌneɪt/ · noun, verb
- As a noun, a carbonate is a salt or ester of carbonic acid containing the carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻), such as calcium carbonate. As a verb, to carbonate means to dissolve carbon dioxide in a liquid, making it effervescent. Related: salt, mineral, compound.
