universal gas law
relates the volume of a gas with pressure, temperature, and number of moles of gas; written mathematically as $PV = nRT$
universal gas law constant (R)
constant equal to $\frac {PV} {nT}$, where the pressure, volume, moles, and temperature of the gas are represented by $P$, $V$, $n$, and $T$, respectively; the value and units of R depend on the units of $P$ and $V$, and two commonly used values of R are $0.08206 \ \mathrm{L} \ \mathrm{atm}\ \mathrm{K}^{-1} \ \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ and $8.314 \ \mathrm{J} \ \mathrm{K}^{-1} \ \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$
unsaturated compound
an organic molecule containing double or triple bonds
unsaturated solution
a solution in which a given amount of solvent has dissolved less than the absolute maximum amount solute at that temperature
unshared electron pair
an unshared electron pair, also known as a non-bonding pair of electrons or as a lone pair of electrons, is found in a filled valence orbital that is not used in the formation of a covalent bond
