This type of matter has a definite weight, shape, and volume.

solid

100

The bonds found within the hair that help organize protein chains are called this.

side bonds

100

If a product is pH balanced, that means it has this pH level.

4.5 to 5.5

100

This is used for the most accurate reading of pH.

pH meter

200

Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen form the basis of this.

amino acids

200

Blue litmus paper turns this color when placed in an acid.

red

200

On the pH scales, numbers less than 7 indicate this.

acidic solution

300

This atomic structure is the simplest, and has an elemental number of 1.

hydrogen

300
This state of matter has definite weight and volume, but no shape.

liquid

300

spiral

300

A pH of 5 is this many times more acidic than a pH of 6.

10

300

If a solution has an equal number of hydrogen (+) and hydroxide (-) ions, then it is considered this.

neutral

400

This is formed when two of the same atoms are joined together by a chemical bond.

molecule

400
This state of matter has no definite shape or volume, but does still have a weight.

gas

400

This side bond is of the greatest concern to the salon professional.

disulfide bond

400

If distilled water is neutral, then it has a pH of this.

7

400
On the pH scale, values above 7 are this.

alkaline

500
This is formed when water is created by the combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
compound
500

This term is used to identify anything that occupies space and has weight.

matter

500

4.5 to 5.5

500

Substances of acidic or alkaline nature dissolve in, or contain, this.

water

600

This particle of an atom has no charge, but gives the atom its weight.

neutron
600

This is created when amino acids join together in chains.

proteins

600

These two bonds are affected when creating a physical change in the hair, such as with wet-setting or heat styling.
