Water Flashcards
Water Molecule
A polar (+ and - charges arranged so as to have directional pull) covalently bonded compound contains 2 Hydrogens and 1 Oxygen
Sucrose + Water =

Water Activity
how much water is readily available to cause a chemical reaction
Non-polar molecule
electrically neutral: contains an equal amount of +/- charges
Surfactant
reduces surface tensions
