Chemical affinity or attraction is the peculiar disposition which one body has to unite with another.
Yet in its action on matter it produces colour; it separates the particles of solid masses farther from each other, and it breaks up some of the strongest forces of chemical affinity.
It may be expressed as a general consequence, that the more directly bodies are opposed to each other in chemical affinity, the more ready is their separation from each other in cases of electro-chemical decomposition, i.
Cohesion thus unites particles of a similar kind; chemical affinity, of a dissimilar nature.
They are mere symmetrical arrangements, not organic growths; and are produced by some law akin to chemical affinity, acting on the molecules of their constituent mass.
Particular attraction, or chemical affinity, must likewise occupy the spaces between the particles of matter which they cause to approach each other.
The condition of equilibrium depends not only upon the chemical affinity, but also essentially upon the relative masses of the reacting substances.
It is therefore not without interest to briefly touch upon the development of the doctrine of chemical affinity.
Chemical affinity is always the cause of chemical union.
The agency which causes substances to combine and which holds them together when combined is called chemical affinity.
It can have neither gravitation, attraction, repulsion, chemical affinity, nor any other conceivable force.
It may not be superfluous here to remark, with respect to the conception of chemical affinity, that up to the present time gravity, electricity, and heat have all been applied to its elucidation.
This Motion is manifested by reason of Atomic Attraction, sometimes called "Chemical Affinity," which we shall consider a little later on in the chapter.
It was little doubted that a so-called "vital force" operated here, replacing or modifying the action of ordinary "chemical affinity.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "chemical affinity" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
