    Water’s Polarity
     Molecules that have an unequal distribution
    of charges are called polar molecules.
     Polarity is the property of having two opposite
    poles.
     A hydrogen bond is a weak interaction
    involving a hydrogen atom and a fluorine,
    oxygen, or nitrogen atom.

    Homogenous Mixtures

     A mixture that has a uniform composition


    throughout

     A solvent is a substance in which another


    substance is dissolved.
     A solute is the substance that is dissolved in the
    solvent.

    Heterogeneous Mixtures
     In a heterogeneous mixture, the components
    remain distinct.

    Acids and Bases


     Substances that release hydrogen ions (H +) when
    dissolved in water are called acids.
     Substances that release hydroxide ions (OH –) when
    dissolved in water are called bases.

    pH and Buffers
     The measure of concentration of H + in a solution
    is called pH.

     Acidic solutions have pH values lower than 7.


     Basic solutions have pH values higher than 7.
    Section 3 Chemistry in Biology

    Water and Solutions

     Buffers are mixtures that can react with acids


    or bases to keep the pH within a particular
    range.
