| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How do you calculate neutrons | Mass # - Atomic # |
| What is inside the nucleus ? What is on the outside? | Pro and Neu are inside. Electrons are on the outside. |
| What is an Isotope? | Element that has a different # of neutrons |
| what is an Ion | charged element (gain or loss of electrons) |
| What is an Ionic Bond? | Loss of electrons by an element/atom and a gain by an atom/element |
| What is an element | A chemical element is a substance that cannot be broken down by chemical means |
| what is an inorganic compound? | usually contains carbon and hydrogen |
| what is an organic compound? | Carbon compounds |
| 4 kingdoms that make up the domain eukarya | Protista (Multiple Kingdoms) Animalia Fungi Plantae |
| What is a compound | A substance formed by the reaction of two or more chemical elements |
| What is an atom | smallest component of an element having the chemical properties |
| solvent, solute, and solution | solvent is a substance which dissolves a solute. When a solvent dissolves into a solute, it creates a solution. |
| Why is hydrogen bonding (interaction) important | Thier presence explains many of the properties of water. They are used to stabilize and determine the structure of large macormolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. |
| What is organic chemistry? | The study of organic compounds |
| what is an Enantiomer | Each of a pair of molecules that are mirror images of each other. |
| functional groups hydroxyl, amino, and carbonyl | Hydroxyl groups - this is a two atom group with symbol -OH. A carbon atom is joined to the O atom and the hydrogen atom is significantly positive and is easily lost to form the RO- ion. |
| monomer and polymer | A monomer is a molecule that is able to bond in long chains |
| 4 levels of protein structure | Primary: order of the amino acids. Secondary: localized modular structure. Tertiary Structure: 3D shape of the protein Quaternery: the association of more than one peptide bond. |
| Definition of denature | To induce structural alterations that disrupt the biological activity of a molecule. |
