A. Parts of Solutions 1. The substance that exists in the greatest quantity in a solution is called the 2. The substances that exist in lesser quantities in a solution are B. Types of Solutions 1. can exist in three different of matter-as solids, Hquids, or gases. 2. The state of the determines the state of matter of the solution. C. Water as a Solvent 1. Most of the water on Farth is not water; instead, it contains dissolved 2. Water is a(n) molecule, which means that one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other end has a slightly charge. D. Like Dissolves L.lke 1. solvents dissolve polar solutes easily. 2. solvents dissolved nonpolar solutes easily. 3. Water molecules are polar, so the ends of the molecules are attracted to the oppositely charged ends of other molecules, which makes it easy for polar solutes to in water. 4. Ionic compounds are formed of alternating positive and negative a. The charged ends of a(n) molecule, such as water, are attracted to the that have the opposite .
