Term
Defintion
Chemistry   is the science that deals with the composition, structures, and properties of matter and how matter changes under different conditions  
🗑
Organic Chemistry   is the study of substances that contain the element carbon  
🗑
Inorganic Chemistry   is the study of substances that do not contain the element carbon, but may contain the element hydrogen  
🗑
Matter   is any substance that occupies space and has mass (weight).  
🗑
Element   is the simplest form of chemical matter  
🗑
Atoms   are the smallest chemical components (often called particles) of an element  
🗑
Molecule   is a chemical combination of two or more atoms in definite (fixed) proportions  
🗑
Element Molecule   a molecule containing two or more atoms of the same element (in this case, oxygen) in definite ( fixed) proportions  
🗑
Compound Molecules   are chemical combination of two of more atoms of different elements in definite (fixed) proportions  
🗑
Physical Properties   are characteristics that can be determined without a chemical reactions and that do not involve a chemical change in the substance  
🗑
Chemical Properties   are characteristics that can only be determined by a chemical reaction and a chemical change in the substance  
🗑
Physical Change   is a change in the form of physical properties of a substances without a chemical reaction or the creation of a new substance  
🗑
Chemical Change   is a change in the chemical composition or make-up of substance  
🗑
Oxidation - reduction   is a chemical reaction in which the oxidizing agent is reduced (by losing oxygen) and the reducing agent is oxidized (by gaining oxygen)  
🗑
Oxidizing agent   is a substance that release oxygen  
🗑
Reduction   is the process through which oxygen is subtracted from or hydrogen is added to substance through a chemical  
🗑
Reduction Reaction   chemical reaction  
🗑
Exothermic Reaction   types of chemical reaction  
🗑
Combustion   is the rapid oxidation of a substance, accompanied by the production of heat and light  
🗑
Pure Substance   is a chemical combination of matter in definite (fixed) proportions  
🗑
Physical mixture   is a physical combination of matter in any proportions  
🗑
Solution   is a stable physical mixture of two or more substances  
🗑
Solute   is the substance that is that dissolved into solution  
🗑
Solvent   is the substance that dissolve the solute and make the solution  
🗑
Miscible   liquids are mutually soluble, meaning that they can be mixed together to form stable solutions  
🗑
Immiscible   liquids are not capable of being mixed together to form stable solutions  
🗑
Suspensions   are unstable physical mixtures of undissolved particles in a liquid  
🗑
Emulsion   is an unstable physical mixture of two or more immiscible substances (substances that normally will not say blended) plus a special ingredient called an emulsifier  
🗑
Emulsifier   is an ingredient that brings two normally incompatible materials together and binds them into a uniform and fairly stable blend  
🗑
Surfactants   are substances that allow oil and water to mix, or emulsify  
🗑
Lipophilic   having an affinity for or an attraction to fat and oils (oil-loving)  
🗑
Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion   oil droplets are emulsified in water  
🗑
Water-in-oil (O/W) emulsion   water droplets are emulsified in oil  
🗑
Volatile alcohols   are those that evaporate easily, such as isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and ethyl alcohol (hairspray and alcoholic beverage).  
🗑
Alkanolamines   are alkaline substances used to neutralize acids or raise the pH of many hair products  
🗑
Ammonia   is a colorless gas with a pungent odor that is composed of hydrogen and nitrogen  
🗑
Glycerin   is a sweet, colorless, oily substance  
🗑
Silicones   are a special type of oil used in hair conditioners, water-resistant lubricants for the skin, and nail polish dryers  
🗑
pH   is often mentioned when talking about salon products, it is one of the least understood chemical properties  
🗑
ion   is an atom or molecule that carries an electrical charge  
🗑
Ionization   is the separation of an atom or molecule into positive and negative ions  
🗑
Anion   an ion with a negative electrical charge  
🗑
Cation   an ion with a positive electrical charge  
🗑
pH scale   is a measure of the acidity and alkalinity of a substance  
🗑
Acidic Solution   a pH of 7 is a neutral solution, a pH below 7 indicates  
🗑
Alkaline Solution   a pH above 7 indicates  
🗑
Logarithm   means multiples of 10  
🗑
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs)   derived from plants (mostly fruit), are examples of acids often used in salons to exfoliate the skin and to help adjust the pH of a lotion or cream  
🗑
Alkalis   also known as bases, owe their chemical reactivity to the hydroxide ion  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
