cohesion

Answer 2

the tendency of similar molecules to stick to each other or group together.

Question 3

adhesiveness

Answer 3

a measure of how well dissimilar particles or surfaces cling to one another.

Question 4

solvent

Answer 4

the substance in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution.

Question 5

exist as gases, liquids, and solids.

Question 6

solute

Answer 6

the substance that dissolved in a solvent to form a solution

Question 7

saturated solution

Answer 7

a solution containing the maximum possible amount of solute.

Question 8

supersaturated solution

Answer 8

a solution that has been raised to a higher temperature in order to dissolve more solute than would be possible at room temperature.

Question 9

concentration of a solution

Answer 9

the quantity of solute in a given quantity of solution.

Question 10

dilution

Answer 10

the addition of a solvent to decrease the concentration of solute in a solution.

Question 11

diffusion

Answer 11

the movement of any substance from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration

Question 12

passive transport

Answer 12

diffusion that doesn’t require energy

Question 13

active transport

Answer 13

substances that need the input of energy to move from an area of low concentration to high concentration gradient.
