BSC2085 - Test 1
Anatomy - Maser
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Electron Shells | regions around nucleus; occupied by electrons; numbered 1-7 |
| Energy Level | electron shell |
| Shell 1 holds | two |
| Shell 2 - 7 hold | eight |
| Valence | atom's outer energy level; contain chemically reactive electrons |
| Valence electrons | chemically reactive |
| Rule of Eights (Octet Rule) | atoms interact to stabilize; fill outer shell |
| Chemically Inert Elements | outer energy level filled |
| Inert | unreactive |
| Noble Gases | example of inert elements |
| Ions | transfer electrons in or out; unbalanced charged particle |
| Anions | negative ion; gains electrons |
| Cations | positive ion; loses electrons |
| Ionic bonds | opposite charges attract and bond together |
| Covalent Bonds | sharing of electrons, each atoms fills outer shell but only part of the time, stability without electron transfer |
| Hydrogen Bonds | surface tension of water, H+ of water molecule attracts 0- atom of another water molecule |
| Reactants | number and kinds |
| Products | new chemical substances |
| Molecular Formula | shows product number & kinds of atoms, shows number of molecules |
| Synthesis | anabolic/constructive, combine atoms/molecules into larger complex |
| Decomposition | catabolic/destructive, break molecules into smaller molecules/atom |
| Water | most abundant inorganic molecule, 60-80% volume of living cells |
| Salts | ionic compounds, dissociate into ions in water, are electrolytes |
| Electrolytes | conduct electric current in solution, nerve impulses, muscle contraction |
