Cohesion

Cohesion is the property of similar molecules that attract eachother.

Adhesion

Adhesion is the property of unsimilar molecules that attract each other.

Non-Polar Covalent Bond

Covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms resulting in a balanced distribution of electrical charge.

Polar Covalent Bond

Covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons.

Dipole

Molecule or part of molecule that contains positively and negatively charged regions.

Polar Molecule

This is a molecule where one end is charged slightly positive and the other end is slightly negative.

Oxidation

The type of chemical reactions in which the number of the electrons in the atom decreases.

Electron

The electron is a subatomic particle whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge.

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electrical charge.

Ionic Bond

chemical bonding that results from the electrical attraction between cations and anions

Monoatomic Ion

This an ion made of only one atom.

Polyatomic Ion

An ion made with two or more atoms with a charge.

Anion

An anion is a negatively charged ion.

Cation

A cation is a positively charged ion.

Electro-negativity

chemical property that describes an atom's ability to attract electrons.

Solution

Homogenous mixture of two or more substances. We used grey water which consists of many

Hydrogen Bonding

A hydrogen bond is a primarily electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom which is covalently bound to a more electronegative atom or group.

Grey water

Waste water generated from homes/appliances such as dish washers, washing machines, etc. This wastewater is not as contaminated as black water/sewagewater.

Reduction

The class of type of chemical reactions in which the number of electrons in the atom increases.

London Dispersion Forces

Intermolecular attraction resulting from the uneven distribution of electrons and the creation of temporary dipoles.
