polar molecule | a molecule that has electrically charged areas (positive side and a negative side) |

capillary action | the combined force of attraction among water molecules with the molecules of surrounding materials. (water sticking to other stuff) |
solution | a mixture in which one substance is dissolved in another |
solvent | the part of a solution that is present in the largest amount – does the dissolving |
evaporation | liquid turning to a gas state -- such as water turning to water vapor |
condensation | the process by which a gas, such as water vapor, changes to a liquid, such as water |
specific heat | the amount of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg a substance by one degree Celsius. (the amount of heat it takes to make something hotter) |
