Frage Antworten
atom basic unit of matter
proton located in nucleus of atom, tells you what the atom is, positive charge
electron located in electron cloud, decides the chemical behavior of the atom, negative charge
neutron located in nucleus, neutral charge
isotope atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain
radioactive isotope had unstable nucleus that breaks down at a constant rate over time
valence electrons outermost electrons
chemical bond bond between atoms, not molecules
e- levels 1st - 2 2nd - 8 3rd - 8 4th - 18
reactive element CAN form bonds
ionic bond bond between 2 ions; formed when electrons are TRANSFERRED from one atom to another
ion an atom with a positive or negative charge; molecules that have gained or lost electrons
covalent bond share atoms
polar and non-polar don't mix
polar has charges at opposite ends (opposite charges)
cohesion an attraction between molecules of the same substance
adhesion an attraction between molecules of different substances
capillary action combination of cohesion and adhesion
high heat capacity takes a lot of NRG to eat up a substance with a high heat capacity, hard for it to change temperature
electronegativity a PULL that one atom has for another atom's electrons (water is VERY electronegative)
solvent does the disolving
solute what is dissolved in the solvent
Why are the properties of H2O important to life? -milder climates -stable ocean/lake temps (aquatic animals) -helps us (humans) maintain internal temp (sweating, evaporation, etc.) -ice insulates lakes
Heat and Cold in most things, heat=expand and cold=shrink NOT IN WATER: opposite because of H+ bonds
acid a compound that donates a H+ ion to the solution
base a compound that donates OH- to the solution (hydroxide ions) *excess of OH-
buffer can act as an acid or a base to neutralize
pH scale a direct measure of H+; the lower the number, the more acidic it is; 7 is neutral
atomic number # of protons
atomic mass mass of nucleus
Why is carbon in every living thing? because it can form 4 covalent bonds, which can form many structures
Carbon structures -chains -ring -single, double, triple -branch
dehydration reaction gives off water; builds polymers
hydrolysis requires H2O; breaks bonds between monomers
Carbohydrates function: energy, structure
monosaccharides monomer unit; single ex. glucose, galactose, fructose
disaccharides 2 monosaccharides ex. sucrose (glucose + fructose) maltose (2 glucose) lactose (glucose + galactose)
Cellulose -found in plants - gives structure - made of a bunch of glucose molecules
lipids - non-polar - not soluble in water - categories are: fats, oils, waxes -long term storage - insulation (blubber) - steroids and hormones - one section of glycerol, rest long chain of fatty acids
saturated fats solid, single bonds; if carbons have the maximum amount of H+ that they can, then each carbon is saturated
unsaturated fats liquid, can have double bonds; double bonds can cause kinks so it can't fold tight enough to be a solid
protein -macromolecules that contain nitrogen + carbon, hydrogen, oxygen -polymers of molecules called amino acids - most diverse macromolecule
Protein functions and examples
