| atoms | Answer |
|---|---|
| structure | nucleus, protons, electrons and electron orbital |
| atomic number | # of protons in nucleus |
| mass number | protons + neutrons |
| atomic # | HOW MANY PROTONS IN THE NUCLEUS |
| # of neutrons | mass # - atomic # = # of protons |
| molecules | two or more atoms joined together by ionic or covalent bonds |
| ions | loss or gain of electrons |
| Na+ | (sodium) loss of electron |
| free radical | UNCHARGED atom/group of atomsw/at least 1 UNPAIREDELECTRON/HIGHLY REACTIVE |
| anitoxidants | absobs free radicals |
| electrolytes | ionize in water;ions required by cells to regulate elec. charge/flow across cell membrane |
| compounds | 2 or more atoms joined together by ionic or covalent bonds |
| ELEMENT | quantity of matter made of atoms of the same kind |
| ion | OUTER ELECTRON SHELL IS COMPLETE |
| COVALENT BONDS | sharing of 1 or more electrons between 2 atoms |
| ISOTOPE | atom of an element that has a different # of neutrons |
| NON-POLAR COVALENT | compounds that evenly share electron pairs |
