a compound in an aqueous solution that neutralizes a base to form salt and water.

a base that contains the hydroxide ion.

a solution in water.

a compound in an aqueous solution that neutralizes an acid to form a salt and water.

synonym for alkaline, which is the descriptor for base that contains the hydroxide ion (an alkali).

an equation written with the chemical formulas of the compounds involved in a chemical reaction that shows the reactants and the products, their ratios, and (possibly) the forms they are in.

a numeral written in front of a chemical formula in a chemical equation; indicates the proportions of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

the chemical bond that forms between nonmetal elements by means of sharing electrons. hydrogen also forms covalent bonds.

a compound formed with a halogen.

one of the elements in Group 17 of the Periodic Table of the Elements.

a proton; the nucleus of. hydrogen atom; possesses a charge of +1.

a polyatomic ion consisting of 1 atom of oxygen and one atom of hydrogen and possessing a charge -1.

a chemical bond between metal and nonmetal atoms in which one or more electrons from each metal atom are transferred to the nonmetal atoms; this process results in ions that are electrically attracted to one another and so form a crystal lattice.

When an acid (pH < 7) and a base (pH > 7) react to produce a salt in water, with a pH of 7 (neutral).

when an atom loses electrons to become a positively charges ion

a scale measuring how acidic or basic a substance is. the scale runs from 0 to 14, 7 being neutral. the farther below 7 the pH is, the more acidic the substance. the farther above 7 the pH is, the more basic the substance.

a substance or set of chemically colored papers that can be used to indicate the pH of other substances.

a group of nonmetal atoms which may include hydrogen) covalently bonded together and possessing a net electric charge.

as a verb: to form a solid and come out of a solution, as a noun: a solid that has formed and come out of a solution during a chemical reaction.

the compounds formed by a chemical reaction.

one of the compounds going into a chemical reaction.

a chemical reaction in which one substance is reduced and the other is oxidized. since oxidation ams reduction always occur together, the combined reactions are called redox reactions.
