chemistry
Relating to or containing cerium in its higher, tetravalent chemical state.
Ceric describes compounds in which cerium exhibits a valence of four, as opposed to the lower-valence cerous compounds, and the distinction matters because ceric and cerous forms behave differently in chemical reactions. Ceric ammonium nitrate, for example, is a common oxidizing agent used in laboratories and in certain industrial processes. The name derives from cerium, the rare-earth element first isolated in the early nineteenth century.
