The word fluorocarbon has been used here in a generic way to indicate completely fluonnated liquids, including ethers and amines, rather than in its stricter meaning of having only carbon and fluorine atoms The definition of the word perfluori-nated is somewhat vague, because it can include compounds that retain double bonds or protons... 

Before I proceed with the discussion of the dediazoniation mechanism, it is necessary to spend some paragraphs considering the definition of the term crisis as used by Kuhn. As already discussed in Section 8.3 the crisis was terminated by the experiments which demonstrated that the first step in Scheme 9-2 is reversible (mechanism B), or in other words that a simple organic compound, the phenyl cation, does react with N2 molecules. 

Those ions which take no part in the reaction are known as spectator ions , and from these considerations, the following definitions can be derived. A basic oxide (or hydroxide) is a metallic oxide (or hydroxide) which contains the 02 (or OFT) ion it will react with an acid to form a salt and water only. It is necessary to realize the importance of the word only in this definition, as were it to be omitted, then certain compounds which are quite different from basic metallic oxides and hydroxides would be covered by this definition. Thus, Pb(IV) oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce Pb(II) chloride (a salt) and water, but does not belong to the class of bases because chlorine gas is also produced ... 

The name, maleic anhydride, came about in the same fashion. as any number of compounds early in the petrochemical Business Many organic acids and their derivatives were given common names based on some early observations, their special source in nature, or on some special feature of their structure. MA was first isolated in the 1850—75 era by dehydration of malic acid, a sugar acid found in apple juice. The Latin word for apple is malum. Hence, malum, malic, maleic. The suffix, anhydride, which follows each alias of MA, has a simple definition a compound derived by the loss of a molecule of water from two carboxyl groups (-COOH). 

When the student of chemistry desires to effect the transformation of one definite substance into another, he is told to determine, by quantitative experiments, what are the elements, and what the quantities of these elements, which compose the compound which he proposes to change, and the compound into which he proposes to change it and he is given working definitions of the words element and compound. If the compound he desires to produce is found to be composed of elements different from those which form the compound wherewith his operations begin, he is directed to bring about a reaction, or a series of reactions, between the compound which is to be changed, and some other collocation of elements the composition of which is known to be such that it can supply the new elements which are needed for the production of the new compound. 

Lavoisier uses the word principle, here and elsewhere, to mean a definite homogeneous substance he uses it as synonymous with the more modern terms element and compound. 

Nomenclature.—A definite system of nomenclature has been adopted for metal-ammines, and the old names derived from the colour of the compounds have, in the main, been abandoned, as they lead to confusion. The system adopted is that suggested by Werner. Ammonia molecules present in the complex are indicated by the terms monam-mino, diammino, triammino, tetrammino, pentammino, hexammino, the word ammino, written with a double m, having been adopted to show the relationship with ammonia and to distinguish from the ammonium salts and the substituted ammonia compounds, namely, the amines.
