Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding
The strong attraction between a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom, such
as fluorine or oxygen, in one molecule, and a highly electronegative atom in another molecule.

Hydronium ion
The H 3 O+ ion in aqueous solution.Hydroxide ion
Hydroxide ion
The OH– ion.Ideal gas
Ideal gas
A hypothetical gas whose behavior is described by the ideal gas law under all conditions. An ideal
gas would have particles of zero volume that do not exhibit interactive forces.
Ideal gas law
Ideal gas law
The law stating that PV = nRT, where R is the gas constant. It can be used to describe the
behavior of many real gases at moderate pressures and temperatures significantly above absolute
zero. See Kinetic molecular theory.
