| Term | Definition |
| adhesion | when water molecules attach to other kinds of molecules |
| capillary action | movement of water within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension |
| hydrogen bonds | the electromagnetic attraction created between a partially positively charged hydrogen atom to a highly electronegative atom |
| electronegativity | tendency of an atom or molecule to draw electrons towards itself |
| covalent bonds | mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms |
| ionic bonds | chemical bonding that includes a complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another |
| cohesion | when water molecules attach to other water molecules |
| solute | what is being dissolved |
| solvent | the substance that does the dissolving |
| polar covalent bonds | a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bonds are unequally distributed |
| nonpolar covalent bonds | type of chemical bond formed when electrons are shared equally between two atoms |
| ion | an atom that has gained or lost electrons |
| dehydration reaction | chemical reaction that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecule or ion (to put together while losing water) |
