the combining of atoms to form molecules or compounds
chemical bond
a compound made of oppositely charged particles
ionic compound

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
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
any compound that increases the number or hydroxide ions when dissolved in water
base
an ionic compound that forms when a metal atom replaces the hydrogen of an acid
salt
a covalently bonded compound that contains carbon
organic compound
an organic compound composed only of carbon and hydrogen
hydrocarbon
a class of energy-giving nutrients that includes sugars, starches, and fiber; composed of one or more simple sugars bonded together
carbohydrate
a type of biochemical that does not dissolve in water; fats and steroids are lipids
