Ionic Compound
A chemical compound formed by the sharing of electrons.
Covalent Compound
Any compound that increases the number of hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
Acid
A compound that can reversibly change color depending on conditions such as pH.
Indicator

Base
The reaction of an acid and a base to form a neutral solution of water and salt.
Neutralization Reaction
A value that is used to express the acidity or basicity(alkalinity) of a system.
pH
An ionic compound that forms when a metal atom replaces the hydrogen of an acid.
Salt
