chlor-comb. form2
Chemistry.
1. Combining form of chlorine (chloric, chloride, and chlorous) used (chiefly before a vowel) in forming names of chlorine compounds. Like the fuller form chloro- comb. form1, prefixed chiefly to the names of compound bodies (with the adjectives, etc. belonging to them) in order to form the names of new compounds due to the action of chlorine upon the former. Most of these are substitution products, in which chlorine takes the place of hydrogen, the nature of which is indicated by the remainder of the word; e.g chloraˈcetic n. name of acids derived from Acetic acid, by substitution of 1, 2, or 3 atoms of chlorine for hydrogen, giving mono-chloracetic, di-chloracetic, tri-chloracetic acids respectively. Similarly, chloraˈcetal, chloraceˈtamic, chloˈracetamide, chloˈracetate, chloˈracetone, chloˌracetoˈnitril, chloˈracetyl, chloˈraldehyde, chloraloïd, chloraloïn, ˈchloramide, chloˈramylal (produced by the action of chlorine on amyl alcohol), chloˈranil, chloraniˈlamic, chlorˈanilamide, chloraˈnilic, chlorˈaniline, etc.; chloraˈnisic, chloreˈthane, chloreˈthene, chloriˈsamic, chloriˈsatic, chlorˈisatin, etc.
