English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

Failing to react with a specified chemical species under specified conditions.

OBS

unreactive: The term should not be used in place of "stable," since a relatively more stable species may nevertheless be more reactive than some reference species towards a given reaction partner.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
DEF

Qui ne réagit pas avec une espèce chimique spécifique, dans des conditions données.

OBS

non réactif : Ce qualificatif ne devrait pas être employé comme synonyme de «stable». En effet, face à un réactif donné, la plus stable des deux espèces peut néanmoins être la plus réactive.
