| miscible | term used to describe two liquids that are capable of forming a solution. |
| immiscible | term used to describe two liquids that not capable of mixing to form a solution. |
| solute | the substance that is dissolved in a medium to create a solution. |
| solvent | the medium into which a solute is dissolved to form a solution. |
| solution | a homogeneous mixture containing molecule sized particles uniformly dispersed in another material. |
| solubility | the amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a given volume of a solvent |
| dissociation | the splitting apart of a substance to yield two or more ions. |
| anode | the positive electrode; the electrode to which the anions migrate. |
| cathode | the negative electrode; the electrode to which the cations migrate. |
| electrolytes | substances that are capable of conducting an electrical current when dissociated in water. |
| nonelectrolytes | substances that are not capable of conducting an electrical current when dissociated in water. |
| saturated solution | a solution in which the solvent holds all of the solute it can possibly hold at a given temperature. |
| unsaturated solution | A solution in which the solvent holds less solute than it can when it is saturated at a given temperature. |
| super saturated solution | A solution in which the solvent holds more solute than it can when it is saturated at a given temperature. |
| Dilute solution | Holds a relatively small amount of dissolved solute in a given amount of solvent |
| Concentrated solution | holds a relatively large amount of dissolved solute in a given amount of solvent |
