| Dissociation | the breaking apart of an ionic compound (like salt) into positive and negative ions when dissolved in water |
| Electrolyte | a substance that forms ions in a water solution, making the water and electrical conductor |
| Ionization | the breaking apart of a molcular polar substance to form ions when dissolved in water |
| Nonelectrolyte | a substance that does not form ions in a water solution, so the water does not become an electrical conductor |
| Saturated Solution | a solution that has dissolved all the solute it can hold at a specific temperature |
| Solubility | the amount of a substance that will dissolve in 100 g of a solvent at a given temperature |
| Solute | the substance being dissolved in a solvent |
| Solvent | the substance that dissolves a solute |
| Supersaturated Solution | an unstable solution that sontains more solute than the solvent can dissolve at a specific temperature |
| Unsaturated Solution | a solution that is capable of dissolving more solute at a specific temperature |
