1Strong electrolytes
ionize almost completely
2Weak electrolytes
ionize only partially
3Acid
acts as a proton donor (H+)
4Base
acts as a proton acceptor (H+)
7Amphiprotic Species
Species that have both acidic and basic properties
8Zwitterion
A neutral species that has both a positive and a negative charge
9Autoionization
The spontaneous reaction of molecules of a substance to give a pair of ions
10How do you get neutralization?
Acid + base > salt + water
11Buffer solution
Resist changes in pH when it is diluted or when acids or bases are added to it
12Inert solubilty
Solubility increase
13Neutral solubility
No effect
14Common ion
Solubility Decrease
15Ionic strength
A quantitative estimation for reporting the ionic composition of a solution
16Spectroscopic method
Based on measurement of the electromagnetic radiation produced or absorbed by analytes
17Electromagnetic radiation
Include gamma ray, X-ray, ultraviolent, visible, infrared, microwave, and radio-frequency
18Flourescence
An analytically important emission process in which atoms or molecules are excited by the absorption of electromagnetic radiation
19Vibrational deactivation
Collisions between excited molecules and molecules of the solvent
20Internal conversion
Between the lowest vibrational level of an excited electronic state and the upper vibrational level of another electronic state
