Chapters 13 & 15: Solution: is a homogenous mixture - A mixture in which the compounds are uniformly intermingled - mixed well so that you can’t see the parts 2 Parts of a Solution: - Solvent- substance that present in the largest amount - Solute- substance present in a small amount when compared a substance that is present in a large amount
Aqueous solution: are solutions with water as a solvent
- Ionic compound will dissolve in water since ionic compounds are made up of cation(+) and anion(-)
Polar compound: Polar compound will dissolve in water - compounds that will contain charges ( + or -) - Not all things are soluble in water.
- Non-polar molecules will not dissolve in to polar solution. - Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes. - Nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. - Polar substances and nonpolar substances generally remain separate.
Electronegativity: The relative ability of an atom in a molecules to attract shared electron to itself.
