is a chemical combination of two or more atoms in definite (fixed) proportions | molecule |
also known as compounds, are a chemical combination of two or more atoms of difference elements in definite (fixed) proportions | compound molecules |
Sodium chloride (NaCl), common table salt, is an example of | compound molecules |
All matter exists in one of three different physical forms: | solid, liquid, gas |
is a change in the form or physical properties of a substance, without a chemical reaction or the creation of a new substance | physical change |
is a change in the chemical composition or make-up of a substance | chemical change |
aka redox, is a chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place at the same time | Oxidation-reduction, |
When oxygen is chemically combined with a substance, the substance is _______ | oxidized |
When oxygen is chemically removed from a substance, the substance is ________ | reduced |
Under certain circumstances, chemical reactions can release a significant amount of heat. These types of chemical reactions are called | exothermic reactions |
is a physical combination of matter in any proportion | physical mixture |
is a stable physical mixture of two or more substances in a solvent | solution |
is the substance that is dissolved into solution | solute |
is the substance that dissolves the solute and makes the solution. | solvent |
liquids are mutually soluble, meaning that they can be mixed together to form clear solutions | Miscible |
liquids are not capable of being mixed together to form stable solutions. | Immiscible |
is an unstable physical mixture of two or more immiscible substances (substances that normally will not stay blended) plus a special ingredient called an emulsifier | emulsion |

are alkaline substances used to neutralize acids or raise the pH of many hair products. They are often used in place of ammonia because they produce less odor. | Alkanolamines |
is a colorless gas with a pungent odor that is composed of hydrogen and nitrogen. It is used to raise the pH in hair products to allow the solution to penetrate the hair shaft | Ammonia |
