- Inorganic Compound
A substance that does not contain both carbon and hydrogen.
- Water (H₂O)
A major component of body’s fluids that acts as a lubricant, heat sink, and solvent.
- Solvent
The substance in a solution that is present in a greater amount and is capable of dissolving.
- Hydrophilic
A substance with polar covalent or ionic bonds that readily dissolves in water.
- Acid
A substance with a pH reading below 7 that releases hydrogen ions (H⁺) in solution.
- Base
A substance with a pH reading above 7 that releases hydroxyl ions (OH⁻) in solution, or one that accepts H⁺ already present in solution.
- Buffer
A solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base that can neutralize small amounts of acids or bases, maintaining overall pH.
- Organic Compound
A substance that contains both carbon and hydrogen.
- Monomer
A single unit of a macromolecule.
- Polymer
Many monomers linked together by covalent bonds.
- pH
A measure of the hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration of the solution that ranges from 0 to 14.
