Chapter 2

Basic Chemistry Lecture

QuestionAnswer
Elements Substance that can not be broken down chemically into anything but itself
Molecule 2 or more atoms bonded together Ex CO2 , O2
Carbon Molecule that all living things are made up of
Oxygen Used in process that produces high energy molecules of ATP
Free Radicals is what your body creates -BAD! -Damage DNA -Highly Oxygenated -Risk Factor for cancer -Steals Electrons oxygen very magnetic
Anti-Oxidants Fight off free radicals -Vitamins A,C,E
Proteins C-carbon H-hydrogen O-oxygen N-nitrogen <- mandatory S-Sulfer (also common)
CHO carbon oxygen hydrogen -create lipids, fats, Carbohydrates
DNA Production of the proteins Life is DNA it makes proteins to protect is and help it reproduce IMPORTANCE 1-DNA 2-Proteins
Ions Charged Atoms
Which Atoms Are involved in the nervous system Na^+ and K^+
Electrolytes Ions that carry electrical current in solution Na K Ca Cl Fe
Where in the body is Iron Found ? In the blood (Hemoglobin) -Makes up redblood cells
What is the Strongest Acid found in the human Body ? HCL
Whare is Cl found ? In Salts Ex NaCl
What two Elements to women supplement ? Iron And Calcium
What Is Calcium important for ? Bones, Teeth, Muscles
Atom Smallest particle of an element that behaves like the element - Has Nucleus -Has Area Outside Nucleus
Nucleus Inside -Protons (+) -Neutrons (0)
Outside Nucleus - electrons orbit around e(-) -Shells
How many Electrons can the shells hold out side the nucleus 2 in the first and 8 in all the others
What is the outermost shell called ? The Valance Shell reacts with all other atoms
Covalent Bonds Equal Sharing of Electrons (non-polar) ex CH4
Polar Covalent Bonds Unequal Sharing of electrons (polar) Ex H20
Electronegativity How strong does 1 atom pull on electrons within a bond
Hydrogen Bons When H already bonded to e-neg atom is also attracted to e-neg atom of different molecule
Ionic Bonds When Charges are Shared Na^+ Cl^- NaCl
Oil Is ? Non Polar - Repels water
Hydrophobic Water Hater -repels -(non polar)
Hydrophilic Water Loving -Polar
Heating of Vaporization -takes energy to get from liquid to gas -As water evaporates heat goes with
Heat Vs Temp Heat - All of the energy in system Temp - measure of intensity
Specific Heat how much energy is needed to raise 1 gram of liquid by 1 degree Celsius
Cohesion & Adhesion Cohesion-Sticks to itself (fits together Adhesion-Sticks to something
Acids -give off H ion -smaller pH below 7
Bases Take on Hydrogen Ions Or release OH
pH -log[H]=pH Goes Up exponentially
How Do you lower pH By adding H ions to it
Hydroxyl OH found in carbs,protiens,lipids
Carbonyl C-O bond found in Carbs and Nucleic Acid
Amino N-H-H
Sulfhydryl S-H
Phosphate PO4
Methyl CH3

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
