Chemistry Flashcards
Acid alkaline neutralization reactions
When an acid is mixed with an alkali in equal proportions to neutralize each other and form water and salt
Acid mantle
Protective barrier of lipids and secretions on the surface of the skin
Acids
Substances that have a pH below 7.0 tastes sour and turn litmus paper from blue to red
Air
The gaseous mixture that makes up the earths atmosphere it is odorless colorless and generally consist of about one part oxygen and poor parts nitrogen by volume
Also known as bases compounds that react with acids to form salts have a pH above 7.0 taste better and turn litmus paper from red to blue
Alkalis
Anion
An ion with a negative electrical charge
Antioxidants
Used to stabilize skin care products by preventing oxidization that would otherwise cause a product to turn rancid and decompose they are vitamin such as a C and E which can be applied topically and products or taken internally to increase healthy body functions
Atoms
The smallest chemical components often called particles of an element that still retains the properties of the element
Cat ion
Ion with a positive electrical charge
Chemical change
Change in the chemical properties of a substance that is the result of a chemical reaction in which a new substance or substances are formed the properties different from the original
Chemical compounds
Combinations of two or more atoms of different elements United chemically with a fixed chemical composition definite proportions and distinct properties
Chemical properties
Those characteristics that can only be determined by a chemical reaction and a chemical change in the identity of a substance
Chemistry
Science that deals with the composition structure and properties of matter and how matter changes under different conditions
Combustion
Rapid oxidization of a substance accompanied by the production of heat and light
Compound molecules
Also known as compounds a chemical combinations of two or more atoms of different elements in definite fixed proportions
Element
The simplest form of matter cannot be broken down into simpler substance without loss of identity
Elemental molecules
Molecule containing two or more Atoms Open the same element in different proportions
Emotions
And unstable physical mixture of two or more in the simple substances substances that normally will not stay blended plus a special ingredient called and emulsifier
Free radicals
Unstable molecules that cause inflammation disease and biochemical aging in the body especially wrinkling and sagging of the skin free radicals are super oxidizers that cause and oxidization reaction and produce a new free radical in the process that are created by highly reactive atoms or molecules
Gases
Matter without a definite shape or size no fixed volume or shape takes the shape of its container
Hydrogen
Colorless odorless tasteless gas the lightest element known
Hydrogen peroxide
Chemical compound of hydrogen and oxygen a colorless liquid with a characteristic older and a slightly acid taste
