| aqueous solution | A solution in which the solvent is water |
| Brownian motion | The chaotic movement of colloidal particles |
| colloid | A liquid mixture with particles that are intermediate in size between a suspension and a solution- particles don't settle out. |
| deliquescent | a substance that removes enough water from air to form a solution |
| dessicant | a hygroscopic substance used as a drying agent |
| effloresce | to lose water of hydration |
| electrolyte | a compound that conducts electricity in an aqueous solution or molten state |
| emulsion | a colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another |
| hygroscopic | salts and other compounds that remove moisture from the air |
| nonelectrolyte | a compound that does not conduct electricity in an aqueous solution or molten state |
| solute | dissolved particles in solution |
| solvation | when an ionic solute dissolves and ions are surrounded by solvent molecules |
| solvent | the dissolving medium in solutions |
| strong electrolyte | a solution in which a large portion of the solute exists as ions |
| surface tension | an inward force that tends to minimize the surface area of a liquid |
| surfactant | a surface active agent; the substance interferes with hydrogen bonds of water. |
| suspension | a mixture in which the large particles slowly settle out |
| Tyndall effect | visible light produced when a beam of light shines through a colloid |
| water of hydration | water molecules that are part of a crystal's structure |
| weak electrolyte | a solution in which only a fraction of the solute exists as ions |
