Here are the matches for the terms:

1. **Acid** - a substance that releases H+ ions into a solution
2. **Ion** - compounds with a positive or negative (polar) charge
3. **Solvent** - a substance that dissolves another substance
4. **pH scale** - a scale with values from 0-14 that indicate how acidic or basic a solution is
5. **Base** - a substance that causes the release of OH- ions into a solution
6. **Nonpolar compounds** - compounds with molecules that do not have a polar charge
7. **Solution** - a mixture made up of a solvent and a solute
8. **Solute** - a substance that is dissolved in a solvent
9. **Polar compounds** - (not explicitly listed in your definitions, but implies that polar compounds can include acids, bases, and solvents, for example, which are typically polar in nature)

Please note that "polar compounds" was requested but not defined; it typically refers to compounds with a significant difference in electronegativity between atoms, resulting in a dipole moment or charge separation.
