This term means a molecule has a partial charge on each side.

• covalent

• polar

This term means a substance is able to be dissolved.

• insoluble

• soluble

This is a term used to describe the concentration of a solution.

• electronegativity

• molarity

This type of solution contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute for a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.

• unsaturated

• saturated

This type of solution contains more solute than can be dissolved in a solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.

• unsaturated

• supersaturated

This type of solution contains less dissolved solute at a given temperature and pressure than it can hold (meaning it could dissolve more solute).

• unsaturated

• saturated
