2Chemistry: A Volatile History — is a 2010 BBC documentary on the history of chemistry presented by Jim Al Khalili. It was nominated for the 2010 British Academy Television Awards in the category Specialist Factual. Contents 1 Episode 1 – Discovering the Elements 1.1… …
3Volatile organic compound — Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary, room temperature conditions. Their high vapor pressure results from a low boiling point, which causes large numbers of molecules to evaporate or… …
4Volatile anaesthetic — The volatile anaesthetics are a class of general anaesthetic drugs. They share the property of being liquid at room temperature, but evaporating easily for administration by inhalation (some experts make a distinction between volatile and gas… …

7Inorganic chemistry — For the journal, see Inorganic Chemistry (journal). Inorganic compounds show rich variety: A: Diborane features unusual bonding B: Caesium chloride has an archetypal crystal structure C: Fp2 is an organometallic complex D …
8Organometallic chemistry — n Butyllithium, an organometallic compound. Four lithium atoms are shown in purple in a tetrahedron, and each lithium atom is bound to a butyl group (carbon is black, hydrogen is white). Organometallic chemistry is the study of chemical compounds …
9industrial polymers, chemistry of — Introduction structure and composition of chemical compounds made up of long, chainlike molecules (molecule). What distinguishes polymers from other types of compounds is the extremely large size of the molecules. The size of a… …
10Cluster chemistry — In chemistry, a cluster is an ensemble of bound atoms intermediate in size between a molecule and a bulk solid. Clusters exist of diverse stoichiometries and nuclearities. For example, carbon and boron atoms form fullerene and borane clusters,… …
