- Isomers
Definition: Compound with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae. - Empirical Formula
Definition: The formula that gives the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in the compound. - Electrolysis
Definition: A process that involves passing electricity through compounds in molten or aqueous state to break them down into their constituent elements. - Melting point
Definition: The temperature at which a solid changes into liquid form under a particular pressure. - Strong alkali
