Plural of chemism; multiple chemical actions, reactions, or chemical properties.
From chemism + -s (English plural marker). The plural allows reference to multiple distinct chemical processes or systems.
Using 'chemisms' (plural) was a way for older textbooks to discuss different types of chemical reactions—how oxygen chemism differs from acid chemism—though modern science just says 'chemical reactions' instead.
