Module 6 Portage Learning Chemistry
Amorphous solids - Answer particles are arranged in a random fashion
Colligative properties - Answer physical properties of solvents that are dependent on the
concentration of the solute present and the identity of the solvent but not on the identity
of the solute. They include vapor pressure, freezing point and boiling point
Colloids - Answer heterogeneous mixtures which appear to homogeneous one-phase
mixtures but are actually composed of particles too small to be seen with the naked eye
Condensation - Answer process of gas being converted to liquid
Critical point - Answer the temperature above which a substance cannot exist in the
liquid phase
Critical pressure - Answer the lowest pressure required for the substance to exist as a
liquid at the critical point
Crystalline solids - Answer particles are arranged in one of several different orderly,
repeating, geometric patterns
Electrolytes - Answer ionic or very polar compounds which dissolve to form solutions of
ions which conduct an electric current
Fluids - Answer substances like liquids and gases which have no fixed shape and so
they flow
Ionization - Answer the splitting of molecules to form ions
Molality - Answer the number of moles of solute present per kilogram of solvent
Molarity - Answer the number of moles of solute present per liter of solution
Nonelectrolytes - Answer compounds which dissolve to form solutions of molecules
which do not conduct an electric current
Phase - Answer any state of matter such as solid, liquid or gas
Strong electrolytes - Answer solutes that ionize completely
Sublimation - Answer the conversion of a solid directly to the gas state
