Definitions
from The Century Dictionary.
- noun In chem., a term suggested by Sir William Crookes for the very similar but in some respects different components into which crude yttrium seems to split up on oft-repeated fractional crystallization of its salts. He connected these supposed analogues of closely related organic radicals with his ideas as to the genesis of the generally recognized elements of chemistry from a single primitive form of matter.

Examples
-
The second act will be pretty much All About Google; Highlights will be the IPO followed by the more recent AOL deal scooped by Google. (although they were only ever going to go GOOG) The Third Act is when Microsoft strikes back and buy a Browser company (and this is where the meta-element comes in because this opera is really about an opera, gettit?)
