In laboratory
This reaction combines substances to form a new compound
Synthesis
The sharing of electrons between atoms to form a stable molecule.
Covalent Bonding
A reaction where a substance loses electrons, often involving oxygen.
Oxidation
A laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of a solution.
Titration
A strong intermolecular force between hydrogen and electronegative atoms.
Hydrogen Bonding
A reaction where a substance gains electrons, often occurring alongside oxidation.
Reduction
The time required for half of a drug to be eliminated from the body.
Half-life
The electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
Ionic Bonding
The structural alteration of proteins, rendering them non-functional (e.g., due to heat or pH changes).
