• polarity- the distribution of electrical charge among the atoms connect by a chemical bond
• solute- a substance that can be dissolved into a solution by a colvalent
• solvent- substance or molecue with the ability to dissolve other substance (solutes) to form a solution
• solution- a homogenous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent
• Aqueous solution- one in which the solvent is liquid water
• concentration- the measurement of the number of particles present in a given volume, often in a mixture of solution
• molarity- a unit of concentration expressed as the number of moles of dissolved solute per liter of solution
• dilution- lowering the concentration of a solute in a solution by simply adding more solvent to the solution such as water
• soluble- a substance that can be dissolved in a given liquid it forms a solution
• insoluble- a substance (solid) that will not dissolve in a solvent even after mixing
• saturated solution- a solution with solute that dissolved until it is unable to dissolve any more, leaving the undissolved substances at the bottom
• supersaturated solution- a solution that contains more than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved at a given temperature
• unsaturated solution- a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved
