Benzamide :: Benzamide (n.) A transparent crystalline substance, C6H5.CO.NH2, obtained by the action of ammonia upon chloride of benzoyl, as also by several other reactions with benzoyl compounds..

Reaction :: Reaction (n.) The force which a body subjected to the action of a force from another body exerts upon the latter body in the opposite direction.

Resist :: Resist (v. t.) To counteract, as a force, by inertia or reaction..

Recoil :: Recoil (n.) Specifically, the reaction or rebounding of a firearm when discharged..

Reflux :: Reflux (n.) A flowing back, as the return of a fluid; ebb; reaction; as, the flux and reflux of the tides..

Incompatible :: Incompatible (a.) Incapable of being together without mutual reaction or decomposition, as certain medicines..

React :: React (v. i.) To act upon each other; to exercise a reciprocal or a reverse effect, as two or more chemical agents; to act in opposition..

Passive :: Passive (a.) Designating certain morbid conditions, as hemorrhage or dropsy, characterized by relaxation of the vessels and tissues, with deficient vitality and lack of reaction in the affected tissues..

React :: React (v. i.) To return an impulse or impression; to resist the action of another body by an opposite force; as, every body reacts on the body that impels it from its natural state..

Reactionist :: Reactionist (n.) A reactionary.

Antiperistasis :: Antiperistasis (n.) Opposition by which the quality opposed asquires strength; resistance or reaction roused by opposition or by the action of an opposite principle or quality.

Catalysis :: Catalysis (n.) A process by which reaction occurs in the presence of certain agents which were formerly believed to exert an influence by mere contact. It is now believed that such reactions are attended with the formation of an intermediate compound or compounds, so that by alternate composition and decomposition the agent is apparenty left unchanged; as, the catalysis of making ether from alcohol by means of sulphuric acid; or catalysis in the action of soluble ferments (as diastase, or ptyali

Preact :: Preact (v. t.) To act beforehand; to perform previously.

Reaction :: Reaction (n.) Any action in resisting other action or force; counter tendency; movement in a contrary direction; reverse action.

Synthesis :: Synthesis (n.) The art or process of making a compound by putting the ingredients together, as contrasted with analysis; thus, water is made by synthesis from hydrogen and oxygen; hence, specifically, the building up of complex compounds by special reactions, whereby their component radicals are so grouped that the resulting substances are identical in every respect with the natural articles when such occur; thus, artificial alcohol, urea, indigo blue, alizarin, etc., are made by synthesis..
