| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Polar | describes a molecule in which the positive and negative charges are separated |
| Hydrogen Bond | the intermolecular force occurring when a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom of one molecule is attracted to two unshared electrons of another molecule |
| Cohesion | the force that holds molecules of a single material together |
| Adhesion | the attractive force between two bodies of different substances that are in contact with each other |
| Capillarity | a tiny blood vessel that allows an exchange between blood and cells in tissue |
| Solution | a homogeneous mixture throughout which two or more substances are uniformly dispersed |
| Solute | in a solution, the substance that dissolves in the solvent |
| Solvent | in a solution, the substance in which the solute dissolves |
| Concentration | the amount of a particular substance in a given quantity of a mixture, solution, or ore |
| Saturated Solution | a solution that cannot dissolve any more solute under the given conditions |
| Aqueous Solution | a solution in which water is the solvent |
| Hydroxide Ion | the OH– ion |
| Hydronium Ion | an ion consisting of a proton combined with a molecule of water; H3O+ |
| Acid | any compound that increases the number of hydronium ions when dissolved in water; acids turn blue litmus paper red and react with bases and some metals to form salts |
| Base | any compound that increases the number of hydroxide ions when dissolved in water; bases turn red litmus paper blue and react with acids to form salts |
| pH Scale | a value that is used to express the acidity or alkalinity (basicity) of a system; each whole number on the scale indicates a tenfold change in acidity; a pH of 7 is neutral, a pH of less than 7 is acidic, and a pH of greater than 7 is basic |
| Buffer | a solution made from a weak acid and its conjugate base that neutralizes small amounts of acids or bases added to it |
