The Brookfield Viscometer makes it possible to measure viscosity by employing techniques in viscometry. Viscometers (which can also be called viscosimeters) can measure viscosity through the varying flow conditions of the sample material being tested.

Covalent bonds are bonds that occur during the chemical bonding of atoms of separate elements. Pairs of electrons share their energy in a way that helps to stabilize the atoms. This helps to attract and repulse atoms to one another and is a major factor in chemical reactions.

FTIR spectroscopy (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) is a technique that uses infrared light to observe properties of a solid, liquid, or gas.

Phosphorescence is an effect in which some chemicals re-emit light that they absorb. It is similar to fluorescence, except that the chemical reactions within phosphorescent materials happen less often, thus they take longer to emit light.

A noble gas is a non-reactive, monatomic gas that is located on the far right edge of the periodic table. Noble gases include argon, helium, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, and unonoctium. Helium is the most common of the noble gases and argon is the most common on Earth, making up approximately one percent of the planet’s atmosphere.

Bunsen burners are used in laboratories to heat materials or substances for experiments. The burners are gas-driven and have a flame that is adjusted by the amount of air and gas that is supplied to the unit.

Luminol is a substance that has a blue or green glow when it comes in contact with blood, certain metals, or other oxidizing agents. It is made from hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide and exhibits chemiluminescence, the process by which light is emitted from a chemical reaction.

An ionic compound is any compound in which an electrostatic force holds the ions together. Ionic compounds are made of positively charged particles that rest against negatively charged particles in order to balance out the two particles’ magnetic imbalance.

Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar alloys or metals come in contact with each other in a corrosive, conducting environment. When they touch, the anode metal corrodes faster than it would when submersed in the solution and the cathode metal corrodes much slower.

One of the largest classes of organic thermoplastic polymers is polyolefin. Polyolefin is an odorless, non-polar, and non-porous material that is used in structural plastics, consumer goods, industrial products, and food packaging.
