Module 6 Portage Learning Chemistry
1. Amorphous solids - answers>>particles are arranged in a random fashion
2. Colligative properties - answers>>physical properties of solvents that are dependent on
the concentration of the solute present and the identity of the solvent but not on the
identity of the solute. They include vapor pressure, freezing point and boiling point
3. Colloids - answers>>heterogeneous mixtures which appear to homogeneous one-phase
mixtures but are actually composed of particles too small to be seen with the naked eye
4. Condensation - answers>>process of gas being converted to liquid
5. Critical point - answers>>the temperature above which a substance cannot exist in the
liquid phase
6. Critical pressure - answers>>the lowest pressure required for the substance to exist as a
liquid at the critical point
7. Crystalline solids - answers>>particles are arranged in one of several different orderly,
repeating, geometric patterns
8. Electrolytes - answers>>ionic or very polar compounds which dissolve to form solutions
of ions which conduct an electric current
9. Fluids - answers>>substances like liquids and gases which have no fixed shape and so
they flow
10. Ionization - answers>>the splitting of molecules to form ions
11. Molality - answers>>the number of moles of solute present per kilogram of solvent
12. Molarity - answers>>the number of moles of solute present per liter of solution
13. Nonelectrolytes - answers>>compounds which dissolve to form solutions of molecules
which do not conduct an electric current
14. Phase - answers>>any state of matter such as solid, liquid or gas
15. Strong electrolytes - answers>>solutes that ionize completely
16. Sublimation - answers>>the conversion of a solid directly to the gas state
