mineral compounds that have ionic bonds, and they are the principal form of minerals that enter and are stored in the body

A

salts

22
Q

salts in their ionic form

A

electrolytes

23
Q

ionically bonded substances that when added to water freely release hydrogen ions. called proton donors

A

acids

24
Q

alkaline compounds that are ionically bonded, also ionize in water but release hydroxyl ion not hydrogen ions. known as proton acceptors.

A

bases

25
Q

acidity and alkalinity are measured on a scale

A

ph scale

26
Q

weak acids and bases are those that do not completely ionize in water. they help keep chemical reactions in the ph neutral range
