True or False: Sodium chloride is an example of a compound formed by ionic bonding.
true
255
The breaking up of an ionic compound is know as:

257
When water dissociates, it forms:
H+ ions and OH- ions
258
What are aqueous solutions containing a high concentration of hydronium ions called?
acids
259
Reduction-oxidation reactions:
involve a transfer of electrons between atoms
260
In chemical reactions, the number of each kind of atom in the reactant is:
the same as in the products
261
Term for a solution in which no additional solid will dissolve:

263
Defined as the ability to do work:
energy
264
absorbs free energy
endergonic reaction
265
particle composed of one or more atoms
molecule

exergonic reaction
267
Do the chemicals that digest nutrients in the stomach work only in ana acidic or basic environment? Explain.
The chemicals that digest nutrients in the stomach work only in an acidic environment because the acid is needed to break down the proteins in our food.
268
Define: acid solution. What is the pH range of acids? what is the pH of the strongest acid? Give an example of an acid solution.
An acid solution is comprised of more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions. The pH range of an acid is 0-7. The pH of the strongest acid is 0. An example of an acid solution is acid rain.
269
Explain why water can soak through a piece of fabric or paper, while some other liquids will remain only on the surface of the same fabric or paper. Hint: think about one of water's unique properties...
This is because of adhesion which is the tendency of water to stick to a different surface.
270
Explain why water is a good solvent.
Water is a good solvent because of its polarity and positive and negative charges.
271
List two aqueous solutions important to living things.
Kool-aid, rain
272
give an example of an acid solution
lemon juice
273
give an example of a basic solution
ammonia
274
define buffer
a neutralizer for substances that are only a little bit acidic or a little bit basic
275
To maintain internal organization, all living things must have a constant supply of:
energy
276
A small part used to represent an entire population is called a:
sample

286
True or False + correcting: The process in which a zygote becomes a mature individual is called phylogeny
false, development
287
True or False + correct: Cell enlargement is the orderly formation of new cells from a parent cell
false, cell division and enlargement
288
True or False + correcting: In general, resolution is higher in a light microscope than that in an electron microscope.
False, resolution is higher in an electron microscope because it scans vacuum sealed electrons
289
All living things maintaining a balance within cells and the environment called:
homeostasis?
290
In an electron microscope, an electron beam is focused by:
magnets
291
Estimating the number of a population using a smaller population:
sampling
292
The lens closest to the specimen on a light microscope is called:
objective lens
293
What is natural selection?
natural selection is the process by which a female chooses the best possible mate so that her children may have a higher survival rate possibly causing a poor trait to die out of a species.
294
