Question | Answer |
---|---|
matter | is anything that occupies space and as mass |
mass | the quantity of matter an object has |
element | substances that cannot be broken down chemicaly |
atom | the simplest particle of an element that retains all the propeties of that element |
nucleus | the central region of an atom that contains two subatomic particles |
proton | in the nucleus of an atom has a positve chare. is a subatomic particle |
neutron | is in the neucleus is a subatomic particle with no charge |
atomic number | the number of protons in an atom |
mass number | is eqaul to the total number of protons and neutrons of the atom |
electron | is equal to the number of protons, negativley charged |
orbital | a three dimensional region around a nucleus that indicates the proable location of an electron |
isotope | atoms of the same elemnt that have diffrent number of neutrons |
compound | made up of atoms or elements in fixed porportions |
chemical bond | the attraccive forces that hold atoms together |
convalent bond | forms when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons |
molecule | the simplest part of a substance that remains all of the properties of that substance and can exsist in free state |
ion | an atom or molecule with an elctrical charge is called an ion |
ionic bond | the attraction between a negative and positve of two ions |
energy | the ability to do work |
chemical reaction | one or more substances change to produce one or more diffrent substances |
reactant | the things that are being reacted |
product | the result of a chemical reaction |
metabolism | the term used to describe all of the chemical reaction that occur in an organism |
activation energy | teh energy used to start a chemical reacction |
catalyst | a chemical substance that reduces the amount of activation energy that is neede for a chemical reaction to occur |
enzyme | a portein that speeds up metabolic reactions without being permatley changed or destroyed |
redox reaction | a reaction is which electrons are transferred between atoms |
oxidation reaction | a reactnt loses one or more elctons thus being more positve in charge |
reduction reaction | a react gains one or more electrons thus becoming more negative in charge |
polar | an uneven distrabution of charge |
hydrogen bond | the force of attraction between a hydrogen molecule with a partial positve charge and anothera tom or molecule with a partial or full negative charge |
cohesion | a atractive force that holds molecoles of a single substance together |
adhesion | the attractive force between two particles of diffrent substances |
capillarity | teh attraction between moleclues that result in the rise of the surface of a liquid when in contact with a solid |
solution | a mixture in which one or more substances are uniformly distributed in another substance |
solute | is a substance in which the solute is dissolved |
solvent | the substance in which the solute is dissolved |
concentration | a solution is the amount of solute dissolved in a fixed amount of the solution |
saturated solution | is one in which no more solute can dissolve |
aqueos solution | solutions in which water is the solvent are universally important to livingt hings |
hydroxide | |
hydronium ion | |
acid | |
base | |
pH scale | |
buffer |
