Valence
::
Valence
(n.) The
degree
of

compared;
thus, an atom of
hydrogen
is a
monad,
and has a
valence
of one; the atoms of
oxygen,
nitrogen,
and
carbon
are
respectively
dyads,
triads,
and
tetrads,
and have a
valence
respectively
of two,
three,
and
four..

::
Nonmetal
(n.) Any one of the set of
elements
which,
as
contrasted
with the

as,

sulphur,
and
chlorine
are
nonmetals..

action
of
chlorine..

::
Halogen
(n.) An
electro-negative
element
or
radical,
which,
by
combination
with a
metal,
forms a
haloid
salt;
especially,

Ethylene
::
Ethylene
(n.) A
colorless,
gaseous
hydrocarbon,
C2H4,
forming
an
important

is very
active

and
possesses
such an
avidity
for most
elements,
and
silicon
especially,
that it can
neither
be
prepared
nor kept in glass
vessels.
If set free it
immediately
attacks
the
containing
material,
so that it was not
isolated
until 1886. It is a

::
Ozone (n.) A
colorless
gaseous
substance
(O/)
obtained
(as by the
silent
discharge
of
electricity
in
oxygen)
as an
allotropic
form of
oxygen,
containing
three atoms in the
molecule.
It is a
streng
oxidizer,
and
probably
exists
in the air,
though
by he
ordinary
tests it is
liable
to be
confused
with
certain
other
substances,
as
hydrogen
dioxide,
or
certain
oxides
of
nitrogen.

several
elementary
substances
which in the free state are
unlike
metals,

rather
than
basic,
properties;
a
nonmetal;
as,
boron,
carbon,
phosphorus,
nitrogen,
oxygen,
sulphur,
chlorine,
bromine,
etc., are
metalloids..
