What's the difference between quadrivalent and tetravalent?
Quadrivalent
Definition:
(a.) Having a valence of four; capable of combining with, being replaced by, or compared with, four monad atoms; tetravalent; -- said of certain atoms and radicals; thus, carbon and silicon are quadrivalent elements.

Tetravalent
Definition:
(a.) Having a valence of four; tetratomic; quadrivalent.
Example Sentences:
