Hydration
Topic
In chemistry, hydration refers to a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with water, such as the addition of water to an unsaturated substrate like an alkene or alkyne. In physiology, hydration represents the process of introducing or absorbing water into the body to maintain proper fluid balance and support metabolic functions. The term is also widely used in materials science, such as the curing of cement, and in web development to describe the process of rendering static HTML interactive.
