True
Located inside of the nucleus and have a positive charge.
Protons
A substance that dissolves another substance
A solvent
A system wherein neither matter nor energy are exchanged with the environment
Isolated system
When molecules are attracted to other molecules of the same substance
Cohesion: a force of attraction between the same kind of molecules
Why do water molecules stick to one another?
hydrogen bonding
or
