Question | Answer |

Define Chemical Elements: | the building blocks to all forms of matter |
Name the main chemical elements in the body | O, C, H, N (make up 96% of body weight) |
Atomic Mass is calculated by: | sum of the masses of it's protons, neutrons and electrons |
Isotopes are | different atoms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons |
Some isotopes are called | Radioisotopes, they are unstable and may emit radiation that can be monitored with radiation detectors. |
What is the outermost shell of an electron? | Valence Shell |
For an atom to achieve stability... | an atom will tend to either empty their valence shell or fill it to the max extent (8) which is achieved by giving up or sharing with other atoms |
Inert elements are: | elements that have a full valence shell |
An ionic bond is | when outer energy level electrons are transferred from one atom to another |
An ion is | an atom that has a positive or negative charge because it has unequal numbers of protons and electrons |
A cation is | a positively charged ion (when the protons exceed the number of electrons) |
An anion is | a negatively charged ion (when the electrons exceed the protons) |
Covalent bonds are | when there is sharing of pairs of outer-energy-level electrons |
Hydrogen bonds are | when two other atoms (usually O or N) associate with a hydrogen atom |
What factors determine if a chemical (metabolic) reaction will occur | 1. The concentration of particles 2. The speed at which particles are traveling (influenced by temperature and size) 3. Activation energy 4. Proper orientation of the colliding partivles. |
Synthesis reactions are | When two or more atoms, ions or molecules combine to form new and larger molecules. ex: N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3 |
Anabolism is | all the synthesis reactions that occur in your body collectively |
Catabolic Reactions are | when chemical bonds are broken. AB --> A + B |
Exchange Reactions | involve the replacement of one atom or atoms by another atom or atoms ex: HCl + NaHCO3 --> H2CO3 + NaH ex: Glucose 1p --> Glucose 6p <-- |
Oxidation - Reduction reactions | electrons are taken from the atom being oxidized by the atom being reduced. |
Exergonic reaction | Energy in |
Endergenic reaction | Energy out |

Which of the following is an ion and why? (a) O2-because it contains an unpaired electron in its outer shell. (b) Na+ because it has lost an electron (c) Co-60 beause it is radioactive (d) H2 because it is sharing electrons | b) Na+ because it has lost an electron |
Which of the following compounds is a polar covalent? (a) O2 (b) H20 (c) NaCl (d) CH4 (e) Kl | b) H2O |
