Gases
Characteristics determined by chemical reaction and a chemical change in identity of the substance
Chemical properties
Characteristics determined without a chemical reaction and doesn’t cause chemical change in identity of the substance
Physical properties
Combination of 2 or more substances united physically without fixed composition in any proportions
Physical mixure
Rapid oxidation of any substance, accompanied by production of heat and light
Combustion
Reduce surface tension between skin and product to increase the products spreadablility; allow oil and water to mix/emulsify
Surfactants

Emulsion droplets water dispersed into an oil
Water-in-oil emulsion
Nutrients that make up largest part of nutrition we take in; 3 basic food groups (protein, carbohydrates, fat)
Macronutrients
Vitamins/substances that have no calories or nutritional value but essential for body functions
Micronutrients
Organic acids that form building blocks of protein
Amino acids
Acids that are synthesized by body and not have to obtain for diet
Nonessential amino acids
