Inorganic Chemicals

Medical Definition: A broad class of substances encompassing all those that do not include carbon and its derivatives as their principal elements. However, carbides, carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, and carbon disulfide are included in this class.
Guide Notes: GEN or unspecified; prefer specific groups or specific chemicals
Inorganic Chemicals Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Acids - Chemical compounds which yield hydrogen ions or protons when dissolved in water, whose hydrogen can be replaced by metals or basic radicals, or which react with bases to form salts and water (neutralization). An extension of the term includes substances dissolved in media other than water. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Alkalies - Usually a hydroxide of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium or cesium, but also the carbonates of these metals, ammonia, and the amines. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Aluminum Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain aluminum as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Arsenicals - Inorganic or organic compounds that contain arsenic.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Barium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain barium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Boron Compounds - Inorganic or organic compounds that contain boron as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Bromine Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain bromine as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Cadmium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain cadmium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Calcium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain calcium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Carbon Compounds, Inorganic - Inorganic compounds that contain carbon as an integral part of the molecule but are not derived from hydrocarbons.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Chlorine Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain chlorine as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Chromium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain chromium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Electrolytes - Substances that dissociate into two or more ions, to some extent, in water. Solutions of electrolytes thus conduct an electric current and can be decomposed by it (ELECTROLYSIS). (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Elements - Substances that comprise all matter. Each element is made up of atoms that are identical in number of electrons and protons and in nuclear charge, but may differ in mass or number of neutrons.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Fluorine Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain fluorine as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Free Radicals - Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Gases - The vapor state of matter; nonelastic fluids in which the molecules are in free movement and their mean positions far apart. Gases tend to expand indefinitely, to diffuse and mix readily with other gases, to have definite relations of volume, temperature, and pressure, and to condense or liquefy at low temperatures or under sufficient pressure. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Gold Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain gold as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Iodine Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain iodine as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Iron Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain iron as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Isotopes - Atomic species differing in mass number but having the same atomic number. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Lithium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain lithium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Magnesium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain magnesium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Manganese Compounds - Inorganic chemicals that contain manganese as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Mercury Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain mercury as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Metals - Electropositive chemical elements characterized by ductility, malleability, luster, and conductance of heat and electricity. They can replace the hydrogen of an acid and form bases with hydroxyl radicals. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Minerals - Native, inorganic or fossilized organic substances having a definite chemical composition and formed by inorganic reactions. They may occur as individual crystals or may be disseminated in some other mineral or rock. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Nitrogen Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain nitrogen as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Osmium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain osmium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Oxygen Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain oxygen as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Phosphorus Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain phosphorus as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Platinum Compounds - Inorganic compounds which contain platinum as the central atom.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Potassium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain potassium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Ruthenium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain ruthenium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Salts - Substances produced from the reaction between acids and bases; compounds consisting of a metal (positive) and nonmetal (negative) radical. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Selenium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain selenium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Silicon Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain silicon as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Silver Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain silver as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Sodium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain sodium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Sulfur Compounds - Inorganic or organic compounds that contain sulfur as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Technetium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain TECHNETIUM as an integral part of the molecule. Technetium 99m (m=metastable) is an isotope of technetium that has a half-life of about 6 hours. Technetium 99, which has a half-life of 210,000 years, is a decay product of technetium 99m.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Thorium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain thorium as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Tin Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain tin as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Tungsten Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain tungsten as an integral part of the molecule.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Uranium Compounds - Inorganic compounds that contain uranium as an integral part of the molecule.
