ALEACIN ALLOY is a partial or complete solid solution of one or more elements in a metallic matrix.

2. ALQUIMIA ALCHEMY a part of the Occult Tradition, is both a philosophy and a practice with an aim of achieving ultimate wisdom as well as immortality, involving the improvement of the alchemist as well as the making of several substances described as possessing unusual properties. 3. TOMO ATOM is a basic unit of matter consisting of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. 4. BIOMASA BIOMASS as a renewable energy source, refers to living and recently dead biological material that can be used as fuel or for industrial production 5. COMPUESTO COMPOUND A chemical compound is a substance consisting of two or more different elements bonded together in a fixed mass ratio that can be split into simpler substances 6. CONCENTRACIN CONCENTRATION is the measure of how much of a given substance there is mixed with another substance 7. CRISTAL CRYSTAL is a solid substance in which the atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. 8. DENSIDAD DENSITY is defined as its mass per unit volume 9. ENERGA ENERGY the ability to do work or to cause change. 10. ENLACE BOND A chemical bond is the physical process responsible for the attractive interactions between atoms and molecules, and that which confers stability to diatomic and polyatomic chemical compounds. 11. ENTROPA ENTROPY is a measure of the unavailability of a systems energy to do work.

12. ESTADO BASAL GROUND STATE is the lowest-energy state. 13. FASE PHASE is a region of space (a thermodynamic system), throughout which all physical properties of a material are essentially uniform

14. FLUDO SUPERCRTICO SUPERCRITICAL FLUID is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its thermodynamic critical point. It can diffuse through solids like a gas, and dissolve materials like a liquid. 15. IN ION is an atom or molecule which has lost or gained one or more electrons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge 16. ISTOPOS ISOTOPES are any of the different types of atoms (nuclides) of the same chemical element, each having a different atomic mass (mass number) 17. MATERIA MATTER In common usage, matter is anything that has both mass and volume (takes up space). 18. MOLCULA MOLECULE is defined as a sufficiently stable electrically neutral group of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by very strong chemical bonds. 19. NUCLEOIDES NUCLIDES is a species of atom characterized by the constitution of its nucleus and hence by the number of protons, the number of neutrons, and the energy content. 20. NMERO DE AVOGADRO A VOGADROS CONSTANT is the number of "elementary entities" (usually atoms or molecules) in one mole, that is (from the definition of the mole), the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12 21. PARTCULA SUBATMICA SUBATOMIC PARTICLE is an elementary or composite particle smaller than an atom. 22. PLASMA PLASMA is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its thermodynamic critical point. It can diffuse through solids like a gas, and dissolve materials like a liquid. 23. QUMICA CHEMISTRY is the science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter, as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions 24. QUMICO CHEMIST is a scientist trained in the science of chemistry 25. REACCIN QUMICA CHEMICAL REACTION is a process that always results in the interconversion of chemical substances 26. REDOX - REDOX describes all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation number (oxidation state) changed. 27. SEMIRREACCIN STEPWISE REACTION is a chemical reaction with one or more reaction intermediates and involving at least two consecutive elementary reactions. 28. SOLUCIN SOLUTION is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances

29. SOLUCIN ACUOSA AQUEOUS SOLUTION is a solution in which the solvent is water 30. SUSTANCIA QUMICA CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE is a material with a specific chemical composition
