Cryoscopic Constant
The freezing point depression produced by a one-molal solution of a non-electrolyte in a given solvent.
States of Matter & Gas LawsCrystal Defect
Any irregularity that interrupts the perfectly ordered arrangement of particles in a crystal.
Inorganic & Coordination ChemistryCrystal Field Splitting Energy
The energy difference between the sets of d orbitals produced when a ligand field lifts their degeneracy.
Inorganic & Coordination ChemistryCrystal Field Stabilisation Energy
The net energy gained by a complex through the preferential occupation of lower-energy d orbitals.
Inorganic & Coordination ChemistryCrystal Field Theory
The model treating metal–ligand bonding as purely electrostatic and analysing how ligand fields split the metal d orbitals.
Chemical Bonding & Molecular StructureCrystal Lattice
The regular, repeating three-dimensional arrangement of particles in a crystalline solid.
States of Matter & Gas LawsCrystalline Solid
A solid in which the constituent particles are arranged in a regular, repeating three-dimensional pattern extending over long distances.
Foundations of ChemistryCrystallisation
A purification technique in which a solid is separated from solution as an ordered crystalline lattice.
Nuclear & RadiochemistryCurie
The older unit of radioactivity, defined as the activity of one gram of radium-226.
Thermochemistry & ThermodynamicsCyclic Process
