• protons, neutrons, and isotopes.
• neutrons, isotopes, and electrons.
• positives, negatives, and neutrals.

In a water molecule, shared electrons spend more time around the oxygen atom than the hydrogen atoms. As a result, the oxygen atom is

• slightly negative
• very negative
• slighly positive
• very positive

A solution is a

• combination of isotopes
• chemical reaction
• mixture in which the substances are evenly spread out
• mixture in which undissolved substances do not settle out

If you stir salt into boiling water, you produce a

• mixture called a suspension
• mixture called a solution
• solution and suspension
• mixture only

When salt is dissolved in water, water is the

• reactant
• solution
• solute
• solvent
