chemistry definition
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Saturated | One substance takes up as much space as possible within another substance. It can no longer be absorbed, combined, or added. |
| Unsaturated | One substance doesn't take up enough space |
| Superaturated | A solution has more solute than it can hold |
| Dilute | The addition of a solvent which decreases concentration of the solute |
| Miscible | Two or more liquids can mix together to form a homogeneous mixture |
| Immiscible | The property where two liquids are incapable of mixing or dissolving into each other to form a homogeneous mixture |
| Electrolytes | Substances that conduct electricity when submerged in water |
| Non electrolytes | Substances that don't conduct electricity when submerged in water |
| Dissociation | The separation of ions caused by heat, light, etc. It's endothermic and takes place with only ionic compounds |
| Solvation | The process of solute molecules dissolves into a solvent. This works with all compounds. This process is exothermic |
| Solution | The mixture between two or more substances |
| Ionization | Breaking molecules into ions (charged particles) |
| Aqueous | A solution where water is the solvent |
| Non aqueous | A solution where water is NOT the solvent |
| Polar | A molecule or bond with an uneven distribution of electron density. This results in positive and negative charges |
| Non Polar | A molecule or bond with an even distribution of electron density. This results in neutral charges |
| Electricity | The movement of charges |
| Effervescence | The formation of gas from a solvent/aqueous solution |
| Solvation vs Solution | Process vs result |
