Chemistry

The smallest chemical components of an element

An atom or molecule that carries an electrical charge

A chemical combination of matter in definite proportions

Simplest form of chemical matter

The separation of an atom or molecule into positive and negative ions

A substance that dissolves the solute and makes solution

Means multiples of ten

The study of substances that contain the element carbon

The head of surfactant molecule, capable of combining or attracting water

Oil droplets are emulsified in water

A chemical reaction that releases heat

Rapid oxidation of a substance, accompanied by the production of heat and light

A chemical reaction that combines a substance with oxygen to pure an oxide

Liquids are mutually soluble, meaning they can be mixed together to form stable solutions

A physical combination of matter in any proportions

Ion with positive electrical charge

Tail of surfactant molecule, having an affinity for or an attraction to fats and oils

Unstable physical mixtures of undissolved particles in liquid

The process through which oxygen is subtracted from or hydrogen is added to a substance

A change in the form or physical properties of substance, without chemical reaction

Characteristics that can only be determined by a chemical reaction and change in the substance

A chemical combination of two or more atoms of different elements in definite proportions

A substance that releases oxygen

A molecule containing two or more atoms of the same element in definite proportions

A substance that adds hydrogen to a chemical compound or subtracts oxygen from the compound

Measure of acidity and alkalinity of a substance

These are known as bases

Water droplets are emulsified in oil

A substance that is dissolved into solution

A chemical reaction in which the oxidizing agent is reduced and reducing agent is oxidized

A chemical combination of two or more atoms in definite proportions

Unstable physical mixture of two or more immiscible substances plus an emulsifier

Characteristics that can be determined without a chemical reaction and have no chemical change

Liquids are not capable of being mixed together to create stable solution

A substance that occupies space and has mass

A stable physical mixture of two or more substances

A change in chemical composition or make up of a substance

The study of substances that do not contain the element carbon, but may contain hydrogen

A colorless liquid or white crystals with a strong unpleasant odor that is in permanent waves

All matter exists in one of three different physical forms:

Substances that allow oil and water to mix or emulsify

Ion with negative electrical charge
