hemijskih

Hemijskih is a form of the adjective hemijski used in several South Slavic languages, notably Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, to denote a relation to chemistry or chemical substances. Specifically, hemijskih is the genitive plural form of the masculine adjective hemijski, and it appears in noun phrases where the governing noun is in the genitive plural. This form is common in scientific, regulatory, and industrial language, where it accompanies nouns describing substances, processes, or materials.

In practice, hemijskih serves to modify nouns in contexts such as "sastojci hemijskih tvari" (ingredients of chemical substances) or "opasnosti hemijskih tvari" (hazards of chemical substances). The same root is used across gender and number in other forms of the adjective, which agrees with the noun in case, number, and gender. While hemijskih is specifically genitive plural, related forms like hemijski (masculine nominative singular) or hemijska (feminine nominative singular) are employed in other syntactic constructions.

Etymologically, the term derives from hemija (chemistry) in Slavic languages, itself borrowed from the broader word for chemistry, which traces back through Latin and Greek to earlier references to alchemy and chemical knowledge. In everyday use, hemijski and its inflected forms function as standard descriptors of chemical topics, paralleling the English word chemical in a grammatical system that marks case and number.
