1. Catenation : The self linkage is known as catenation. The property of catenation is responsible for the occurrence of innumerable oragnic compounds. It is the binding of an element to itself through covalent bonds to form chain or ring molecules.
2. Micelle, in physical chemistry, a loosely bound aggregation of several tens or hundreds of atoms, ions (electrically charged atoms), or molecules, forming a colloidal particle—i.e., one of a number of ultramicroscopic particles dispersed through some continuous medium.
3. Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid and trace chemicals that may include flavorings.
4. The alkanes comprise a series of compounds that are composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms with single covalent bonds. This group of compounds comprises a homologous series with a general molecular formula of C n H 2 n+2 , where equals any integer.
