Definition of chromism in English English dictionary
- (Kimya) In chemistry, chromism or chromatism is a process that induces a reversible change in the colours of compounds. In most cases, chromism is based on a change in the electron states of molecules, especially the π- or d-electron state, so this phenomenon is induced by various external stimuli which can alter the electron density of substances. It is known that there are many natural compounds that have chromism, and many artificial compounds with specific chromism have been synthesized to date
