What does THORIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technicalchemistry
Of, containing or derived from thorium, the heavy radioactive metal.
Chemists reached for thoric when a compound was built around thorium in its higher oxidation state, and the term turns up in older laboratory papers. The related oxide, thoria, was once used to make the glowing mantles of gas lamps. Newer writing tends to say thorium compound instead, so the adjective now reads as a period piece.
