In general, a polar or ionic solute can only dissolve in this kind of solvent.
What is polar.
This is a chemical bond formed between oppositely charged ions.
What is an ionic bond.
This is the name of the phenomenon that allows water striders to walk on water.
What is surface tension.
Water that has ions like calcium and magnesium dissolved in it is called this.
What is hard water.
Atoms in molecules are linked together with these.
What are chemical bonds.
A non polar solvent can only dissolve in this kind of solvent.
What is non polar.
This is a chemical bond in which two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.
What is a covalent bond.
This is the name of the phenomenon that occurs when individual molecules are so strongly attracted to each other that they tend to stay together, even when exposed to tension.
What is cohesion.
This device "exchanges" calcium and magnesium ions with sodium and potassium ions, so that the calcium and magnesium are not in our drinking water.
What is a water softener.
The subscripts in a chemical formula tell you this.
What is how many of each atom is present.
In a water molecule, the positive charge on one molecule is attracted to this kind of charge.
What is negative.
In the electron dot diagram, the dot represents this.
What is a valence electron.
This is the process that causes individual water molecules to be so strongly attracted to each other that they tend to stay together, even when subjected to an outside force.
What is hydrogen bonding.
Water is this type of molecule, which allows it to easily dissolve ionic compounds.
What is polar.

What is 5.
Most molecules that are chemically similar to water are in this state of matter at room temperature.
What are gases.
When an atom gains electrons, so it has more electrons than it does protons, it becomes this.
What is an anion.
This is the type of attraction that occurs between unlike molecules, or molecules of different substances.
What is adhesion.
This happens when water that has calcium compounds in it, that come out of the solution when the water changes temperature.
What is scaling.
