Solutions

Summary

The content provides an in-depth exploration of solutions and solution chemistry, focusing on solubility factors, concentration units, polyatomic ions, oxidation numbers, and naming ionic compounds.

Solutions consist of a solute dissolved in a solvent, with solubility influenced by temperature, polarity, and molecule size.
Concentration units such as percent mass, mole fraction, molarity, molality, and normality are crucial for quantifying solution compositions.
Memorization of polyatomic ions and understanding their naming conventions are essential for the GRE exam.
Oxidation numbers play a key role in determining the chemical properties of elements within compounds.
The process of naming ionic compounds involves recognizing the charge on polyatomic ions and transition metals, with specific rules for transition metals and group one and two metals.
