Acid - ANSWER molecule that donates hydrogen ions and increases the concentration
of hydrogen ions in a solution
Adhesion - ANSWER attraction between water molecules and other molecules
Aliphatic hydrocarbon - ANSWER hydrocarbon consisting of a linear chain of carbon
atoms
Anion - ANSWER negative ion that is formed by an atom gaining one or more electrons
Aromatic hydrocarbon - ANSWER hydrocarbon consisting of closed rings of carbon
atoms
Atom - ANSWER the smallest unit of matter that retains all of the chemical properties
of an element
Atomic mass - ANSWER calculated mean of the mass number for an element's
isotopes
Atomic number - ANSWER total number of protons in an atom
Balanced chemical equation - ANSWER statement of a chemical reaction with the
number of each type of atom equalized for both the products and reactants
1
, Base - ANSWER molecule that donates hydroxide ions or otherwise binds excess
hydrogen ions and decreases the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution
Buffer - ANSWER substance that prevents a change in ph by absorbing or releasing
hydrogen or hydroxide ions
Calorie - ANSWER amount of heat required to change the temperature of one gram of
water by one degree
Celsius
Capillary action - ANSWER occurs because water molecules are attracted to charges on
the inner surfaces of narrow tubular structures such as glass tubes, drawing the water
molecules to the sides of the tubes
Cation - ANSWER positive ion that is formed by an atom losing one or more electrons
Chemical bond - ANSWER interaction between two or more of the same or different
atoms that results in the
Formation of molecules
Chemical reaction - ANSWER process leading to the rearrangement of atoms in
molecules
Chemical reactivity - ANSWER the ability to combine and to chemically bond with each
other
Cohesion - ANSWER intermolecular forces between water molecules caused by the
polar nature of water; responsible for surface tension
