Acid

a substance that produces hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution

strong acids

acids that completely break apart (dissociate) in water, releasing all of their H⁺ ions.

weak acids

acids that only partly break apart (dissociate) in water, so they release only some of their H⁺ ions.

base

a substance that produces OH^- when dissolved in water

Strong bases

completely breaks apart (dissociates) in water, releasing all of its OH⁻ ions.

weak bases

does not fully break apart (dissociate) in water — it only produces a small amount of OH⁻ ions.

oxoacid

an acid that contains hydrogen, oxygen, and another element

Electrolytes

Compounds whose aqueous solutions are conductors of electricity.

Strong Electrolytes

Compounds whose aqueous solutions are excellent conductors of electricity. Strong
electrolytes are completely or very nearly completely dissociated into ions when dissolved in water

Weak Electrolytes

Compounds whose aqueous solutions are moderate to weak conductors of electricity.
Weak electrolytes are only partially dissociated into ions when dissolved in water

Nonelectrolytes

Compounds whose aqueous solutions are very very weak conductors of electricity, or do
not conduct electricity at all. Weak electrolytes do not dissociate into ions to any appreciable extent
when dissolved in water

Salt

another name for ionic compounds, which are composed of positive and
negative ions that are attracted to one another through ionic bonding

Hydrates

compounds that have a specific number of water molecules attached to
them in the solid state

Polymers

large molecules made of many small repeating units called monomers joined together in a chain.

Organic Compounds

compounds that are composed mostly of carbon, and usually other elements
such as H, O, and N.

Hydrocarbons

compounds that are composed of carbon and hydrogen.

Inorganic Compounds

compounds that are not classified as organic
