Energy that travels through space in the form of waves. The highest frequencies in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation are gamma-rays; the lowest frequencies are radio ...
The invisible electromagnetic radiation beyond the violet end of the spectrum of visible light, of wavelengths ranging, roughly, from 4000 down to 400 angstroms.
The study of compounds that contain carbon chemically bound to hydrogen, including synthesis, identification, modelling, and reactions of those compounds.
Combination of two smaller nuclei to form a larger nucleus. The larger nucleus has higher binding energy per nucleon than the original nuclei, and fusion results in the release of ...
Pure NH3 is a colorless gas with a sharp, characteristic odor. It is easily liquified by pressure, and is very soluble in water. Ammonia acts as a weak base . Aqueous solutions of ...
Splitting of a nucleus into two smaller nuclei and neutrons. The smaller nuclei have higher binding energy than the original nucleus, and fission results in the release of energy.
Protein or protein-based molecules that speed up chemical reactions occurring in living things. Enzymes act as catalysts for a single reaction, converting a specific set of ...
Amino acids are molecules that contain at least one amine group (-NH2) and at least one carboxylic acid group (-COOH). When these groups are both attached to the same carbon, the ...
