| has gloss | (noun) (chemistry) any process determined by the atomic and molecular composition and structure of the substances involved
chemical process, chemical action, chemical change |
| has gloss | eng: In a "scientific" sense, a chemical process is a method or means of somehow changing one or more chemicals or chemical compounds. Such a chemical process can occur by itself or be caused by somebody. Such ad chemical process commonly involves a chemical reaction of some sort. In an "engineering" sense, a chemical process is a method intended to be used in manufacturing or on an industrial scale (see Industrial process) to change the composition of chemical(s) or material(s), usually using technology similar or related to that used in chemical plants or thee chemical industry. |
