Reduction Reactions | Reactions where reactants gain one or more electrons making it negative. |
Polar | A description of a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends. |
Hydrogen Bond | The force of attraction between a hydrogen molecule with a partial positive charge and another atom or molecule with a partial or full negative charge. |
Cohesion | An attractive force that holds molecules of a single substance together. |
Adhesion | An attractive force that holds molecules of different substances together. |
Capillarity | The attraction between molecules that results in the rise of the surface of a liquid when in contact with a solid. |
Solution | A mixture in which one or more substances are uniformly distributed in another substance. |
Solute | A substance dissolved in the solvent. |
Solvent | The substance in which the solute is dissolved. |
Concentration | The amount of solute dissolved in the fixed amount of the solution. |
Saturated Solution | A solution in which no more solute can dissolve. |
Aqueous Solution | Solutions in which water is the solvent. |
Hydroxide Ion | The OH- ion. |
Hydronium Ion | The O+ ion. |
Acid | When the number of hydronium ions in a solution is greater than the number of hydroxide ions. |
Base | A solution that contains more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions. |
pH Scale | A scale that ranges from 0-14 ranging from 0=Acidic to 14=Alkaline. |
Buffer | Chemical substances that neutralize small amounts of either an acid or a base added to a solution. |
