Latin roots

The first and third examples illustrate a nuance of the naming rules. Iron and silver in anionic complexes are named by their Latin roots,/err- and argent-, from which their symbols (Fe and Ag) are derived. Metals taking their Latin names in anionic coordination complexes are listed in Table 20-4. 

The flamingo is often associated with the ancient Phoenix, an immortal bird that was consumed by flames only to rise from the ashes. The word flamingo is also associated with fire or flames, derived from the Portuguese flamengo or Spanish flamenco and with the Latin root of flamma, flame. How do flamingos come by the reddish-pinkish plumage for which they are named ... 

We might want to increase a> to generate larger limiting currents in order to increase the precision. Improving the precision by this means is valid at low to medium rotation rates (that is, up to about 100 cycles per second) because the motion of solution over the face of the electrode is smooth and reproducible. We say that the flow is laminar. (The word laminar comes from the Latin root lami, meaning thin layer or plate .) We can then see how laminar flow implies that solution readily flows over itself in a smooth and reproducible way. 

In the case of 2-EH production, the aldehyde dimerizes or reacts with itself. Dimerize, remember, has the same Latin root -meros, as isomer, monomer, and polymer, and means part. A dimer is a chemical union of two molecules of the same compound.) The resulting Cs dimer is also an aldehyde that can be hydrogenated to give 2-EH.

Dockal etal. [57] used slow-scan CV to determine the 21 values for 17 Cu(II/I) complexes in 80% methanol —20% water (w/w) - including nine complexes with macrocyclic terdentate, quadridentate, quinquedentate, and sexaden-tate thioethers and eight complexes with acyclic quadridentate ligands containing thioether sulfur and/or amine nitrogen donor atoms. (In naming the denticity of multidentate ligands, Dwyer, Lions, and coworkers have pointed out that dentate is a Latin root and proper nomenclature requires that Latin prefixes be used. 

Finally, there are monoatomic anions whose names in English, though derived as described above, are based on the Latin root of the element names. [See table inside back cover.] In these the ending -um or -ium is replaced by -ide... 

Dilute solutions have several properties, which are determined by the concentration, but not the identity, of the solute so-called colligative properties. The Latin root is the same one from which college and colleague are derived, with an implication of working together to an end that transcends the individual. 

Since the word valence has a Latin root, the Latin prefixes are preferred, leading to the adjectives univalent, bivalent, ter alent, quadrivalent, quinquevalent, sexivalent, septi-valent, octavalent. The adjectives monovalent, divalent, trivalent, tetravalent, etc., which have the same meanings, are also used. 

What is compassion Standard dictionaries trace its origin to the Latin roots com, with, and pati, to bear or suffer, and define the word as meaning a sympathetic consciousness of the suffering of others and a desire to help them. It is a sad commentary on our times that a major encyclopedic dictionary of psychology I turned to for more clarification doesn t even list compassion, a lack reflected in most introductory psychology textbooks. 

It would be very important if the International Union of Chemistry would state as a principle that new chemical names should always be formed from Greek or Latin roots. When introducing new names, due consideration should be given to their applicability in other languages.

The common names of the aldehydes are derived from the same Latin roots as the corresponding carboxylic acids. The common names of the first five aldehydes are presented in Table 14.1.

Note that there is one K counter ion, so the complex anion has a charge of 1 —. The five CF ligands have a total charge of 5—, so Pt must be in the -1-4 oxidation state.) For some metals, we use the Latin root with the -ate ending, as shown in Table 22.7. For example, the name for Na4[FeBr6] is sodium hexabromoferrate(II)...
