| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Dissociation | process in which a ionic compound separates into its positive and negative ions |
| Electrolyte | compound that breaks apart in water, forming charged particles (ions) that can conduct electricity |
| Ion | charged particle that has either more or fewer electrons than protons |
| Ionization | process in which electrolytes dissolve in water and separate into charged particles |
| Nonelectrolyte | substance that does not ionize in water and cannot conduct electricity |
| Nonpolar | not having separated positive and negative areas; nonpolar materials do not attract water molecules and do not dissolve easily in watter |
| Polar | having a separated postive and negative area; polar materials attract water molecules and dissolve easily in water |
| Saturated Solution | any solution that contains all the solute it can hold at a given temperature |
| Solubility | maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature |
| Solution | Homogeneous mixture that remains constantly and uniformly mixed and has particles that are so small tey cannot be seen with a microscope |
| Solute | in a solution, the substance being dissolved |
| Solvent | in a solution, the substance in which the solute is dissolved |
| Supersaturated Solution | any solution that contains more solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature |
| Unsaturated Solution | any solution that can be dissolved more solute at a given temperature |
