The smallest complete unit of an element

Question 13

Molecules

Answer 13

Group of two or more atoms held together by a chemical bond

Question 14

Compound

Answer 14

Substance formed by two or more different type of elements that are united chemically

Question 15

Polymerization

Answer 15

Occurs when a monomer or oligomer molecule like with other polymer or oligomer molecules to form polymer chains

Question 16

Polymer chains

Answer 16

Made up of may monomers that are chemically bonded to form chains; result of polymerization; found in solids such as powder

Question 17

Cross-linked polymer

Answer 17

Has the benefit of additional strength because of single monomer molecule linking polymer chains together

Question 18

Thermal initiator

Answer 18

Activated by heat energy; heat comes from an external source couch as clients hand or the air in the room

Question 19

Catalyst

Answer 19

Substances that control the speed at which the chemical reaction occurs

Question 20

Inhibitors

Answer 20

Preservatives that keep monomers from curing on their own

Question 21

Answer 21

Substance that can dissolve another substance

Question 22

Resin

Answer 22

Product that adheres the fabric to the nail in a wrap system

Question 23

Plasticizers

Answer 23

Additive preventing brittleness, cracking, chipping, or splitting; increases flexibility and durability

Question 24

UV stabilizers

Answer 24

Additive that absorbs UV light, reducing fading and discoloration

Question 25

Adhesions

Answer 25

Molecular attraction causing two different surfaces to stick together

Question 26

Adhesives

Answer 26

Gluelike products that create a bond between two incompatible surfaces, such as nail plate and nail tip

Question 27

Priming agents

Answer 27

Helps improve good adhesion between two surfaces such as nail enhancement products and nail plate; primer

Question 28

Monomers

Answer 28

Small single molecule that may be chemically bonded to other monomer molecules to form oligomer or polymer; found in free-flowing form

Question 29

Polymers

Answer 29

Are up of many monomers chemically bonded to form chains; found in solids such form such as powders

Question 30

Wrap/ dip resins

Answer 30

Nail enhancement system that contains 3 key products: fabric (fiberglass, silk, linen), resin, and a catalyst; can be applied over natural nails, tips, or over broken nails

Question 31

Oligomers

Answer 31

Short to medium length chain of monomers that are converted into polymers when they come into contact with an initiator and proper energy source; found in gel form

Question 32

Photo initiator

Answer 32

Absorbs UV light energy and converts it into energy needed to trigger chemical reactions
