31 Terms

1
Solvent
________- A liquid that is able to dissolve a solid.
New cards
2
Proton
________- a positive charge inside the atom and bonded to neutrons.
New cards
3
Electron
________- a negative charge on the outside of an atom.
New cards
4
Solute
________- A substance that is dissolved in a solution.
New cards
5
Neutron
________- no charge and inside of the atom.
New cards
6
Solution
________- A type of homogenous mixture in which the particles of one or more substances (the solute) are distributed uniformly throughout another substance (the solvent)
New cards
7
oxygen atom
However, the ________ has more protons in its nucleus (which are positive) and therefore attracts more electrons (making it negative), although the hydrogen keeps some (making it positive)
New cards
8
Cohesion
________- The act of water sticking to itself.
New cards
9
Adhesion
________- The act of water sticking to other surfaces.
New cards
10
Polar Covalent Bond
________- These are formed when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms.
New cards
11
Compound
________- consisting of two or more simple parts or individuals in combination.
New cards
12
Covalent Bond
________- These are formed when there is an equal sharing of electrons between atoms.
New cards
13
Capillary Action
________- The act of water using both cohesion and adhesion to supply water to the leaves of a plant.
New cards
14
Polar Molecule
Why is Water a(n) ________- Water is polar because the hydrogen and oxygen atoms share electrons.
New cards
15
Electron
a negative charge on the outside of an atom
New cards
16
Neutron
no charge and inside of the atom
New cards
17
Proton
a positive charge inside the atom and bonded to neutrons
New cards
18
Compound
consisting of two or more simple parts or individuals in combination
New cards
19
What is the compound H2SO4 made of
two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom, and four oxygen atoms
New cards
20
Why Does Ice Float
Ice floats because when it freezes, it expands and binds to other water molecules doing the same
New cards
21
Adhesion
The act of water sticking to other surfaces
New cards
22
Cohesion
The act of water sticking to itself
New cards
23
Capillary Action
The act of water using both cohesion and adhesion to supply water to the leaves of a plant
New cards
24
Surface Tension
Tension created by tension inflicted upon the bonds of water molecules
New cards
25
Differences
Water sticking to itself versus other surfaces, water using this to perform an action, and the use of cohesion in surface tension
New cards
26
Polar Covalent Bond
These are formed when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms
New cards
27
Covalent Bond
These are formed when there is an equal sharing of electrons between atoms
New cards
28
Why is Water a Polar Molecule
Water is polar because the hydrogen and oxygen atoms share electrons
New cards
29
Solution
A type of homogenous mixture in which the particles of one or more substances (the solute) are distributed uniformly throughout another substance (the solvent)
