Back

Solution

Front

Substance in a solution that dissolves the other substance and is present in greater amount.

Back

solvent

Front

Substance in a solution that is dissolved and present in lesser amount.

Back

Back

acid

Front

Compound that removes H+ ions from an aqueous solution, pH > 7

Back

base

Front

Water is polar because...

Back

Unequal electron sharing gives water a slight negative charge near oxygen and a slight positive charge near hydrogen.

Front

Attraction causing liquids to form drops on films; water's attraction to itself.

Back

cohesion
