Electro-chemistry :: Electro-chemistry (n.) That branch of science which treats of the relation of electricity to chemical changes.

Butter :: Butter (n.) Any substance resembling butter in degree of consistence, or other qualities, especially, in old chemistry, the chlorides, as butter of antimony, sesquichloride of antimony; also, certain concrete fat oils remaining nearly solid at ordinary temperatures, as butter of cacao, vegetable butter, shea butter..

Gas :: Gas (n.) An aeriform fluid; -- a term used at first by chemists as synonymous with air, but since restricted to fluids supposed to be permanently elastic, as oxygen, hydrogen, etc., in distinction from vapors, as steam, which become liquid on a reduction of temperature. In present usage, since all of the supposed permanent gases have been liquified by cold and pressure, the term has resumed nearly its original signification, and is applied to any substance in the elastic or aeriform state..

Alchymy :: Alchymy (n.) See Alchemic, Alchemist, Alchemistic, Alchemy..

Stereobate :: Stereo- () A combining form meaning solid, hard, firm, as in stereo-chemistry, stereography..

Micro-chemistry :: Micro-chemistry (n.) The application of chemical tests to minute objects or portions of matter, magnified by the use of the microscopy; -- distinguished from macro-chemistry..

Actino-chemistry :: Actino-chemistry (n.) Chemistry in its relations to actinism.

Spagyrist :: Spagyrist (n.) A chemist, esp. one devoted to alchemistic pursuits..

Chemical :: Chemical (a.) Pertaining to chemistry; characterized or produced by the forces and operations of chemistry; employed in the processes of chemistry; as, chemical changes; chemical combinations..

Chemistry :: Chemistry (n.) That branch of science which treats of the composition of substances, and of the changes which they undergo in consequence of alterations in the constitution of the molecules, which depend upon variations of the number, kind, or mode of arrangement, of the constituent atoms. These atoms are not assumed to be indivisible, but merely the finest grade of subdivision hitherto attained. Chemistry deals with the changes in the composition and constitution of molecules.
