Chemistry
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Matter | anything with mass that occupies space |
| Energy | the capacity to do work (motion) |
| Potential Energy | Stored energy |
| Kinetic Energy | matter in motion |
| Chemical Energy | potential energy stored in chemical bonds |
| Electrical Energy | movement of charged particles |
| Composition of matter elements | carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen |
| what is protons(+), and neutrons combined? | Atomic Mass |
| Electrons | orbit around nucleus, have a negative charge |
| how many electrons are are on each level of the nucleus? | 1st- 2, 2nd- 8, 3rd- 8 |
| ionic bond | one or more electrons are transferred from one molecule to another |
| cation ionic bond | positively charged ion |
| anion ionic bond | negatively charged ion |
| covalent bond | shared electrons |
| polar covalent bond | unequal sharing of pairs of electrons |
| non-polar covalent bond | equal sharing of pairs of electrons |
| Chemical reactions (4) | synthesis, decomposition, exchange, redox |
| Synthesis | creates new molecules |
| decomposition | breaks down molecules |
| exchange | molecules exchange atoms |
| redox | occurs when food is broken down to form ATP |
| exergonic (exothermic) | release energy |
| endergonic (endothermic) | consume energy |
| what does "exo" mean | outside |
| what does "endo" mean | inside |
| rate of chemical reaction is influenced by (4) | temperature, particle size, concentration, catalysts |
| biochemistry consists of.. | Organic, inorganic |
| what are a few inorganic compounds? (5) | water, salt, acid, bases, and buffers |
| Water | universal solvent |
| solvent | dissolves many chemicals in our body |
| salts | cations and anions- dissolves water |
| acids and bases | acids- release H+ easily bases- accept H+ easily |
| buffers | are weak acids or bases |
