(2025/2026 NEW) | Guaranteed Pass | GRADE A
1. What is an electrolyte?: Compounds that are ionic or very polar
and dissolve into ions which conduct an electric current.
2. What is a fluid?: Particles are free to move (slide) around each
other but will take the shape of any container it is in
3. What is ionization?: The amount of energy required to remove
an electron from an atom. Takes place when a solvent causes the
molecules of an electrolyte to dissociate into ions.
4. What is molality?: The moles of a solute that is present per
kilogram of the solvent
5. What is molarity?: The moles of a solute that is present per litre
of solution 6. What is a non-electrolyte?: Compounds that don't
dissolve into ions and stays as a molecules when dissolved

7. What is a phase?: Any state of matter such as a solid, liquid, or
gas
8. What is a strong electrolyte?: A substance that completely
(100%) ionizes (Ex.
HCl, HBr)
9. What is sublimation?: Occurs when solids are directly converted
to a gas state
10. What is surface tension?: The surface acts like a thin elastic
sheet. Occurs from an unbalanced cohesive forces where particles in
the center of the liquid is attracted to other particles on all sides but the
particles on the surface is attracted to other particles below them but
aren't attracted to particles above them. This results in the surface
particles being pulled inward.
11. What is the triple point?: The temperature and pressure that
allows for solids, liquids, and gases to coexist
12. What is the vapour pressure?: The pressure that is exerted by
freely translating vapour molecules above liquid molecules
