chemistries
- 1Plural of chemistry.
The chemistries of the two compounds turned out to be surprisingly similar.

Note
A plural that only some meanings of chemistry can take. The science itself is a mass noun and has none. What pluralizes are the countable uses: the chemical behavior of particular substances, organisms or environments, as in the chemistries of carbon and silicon. The informal sense of rapport can pluralize too, and so can the clinical shorthand for a blood panel, though careful writers avoid that usage.
