| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Atomic Weight | Protons + Neutrons in one atom |
| Isotopes | Atoms with same atomic # but diff. atomic weight -Same # of Protons and Electrons -Different # of electrons |
| Unstable isotopes are ? | Radioactive (Emit energy or atomic fragments) |
| Molecules | When two or more atoms chemically combine |
| Compound | When two or more atoms of DIFFERENT elements chemically combine |
| Molecular Formula | Depict the element present and # of each atom present in the molecule Ex. H^2 Molecule; H^2O Compound |
| Matter | Anything that takes up space and has mass (weight) composed of elements |
| Elements | Composed of chemically identical atoms Most common elements; O,H,C,N |
| Atoms | Smallest particle of an element -Composed of subatomic particles |
| Proton | Carries (+) charge |
| Neutron | No electrical charge (Neutral) |
| Electron | Carries (-) charge |
| Nucleus | Composed Protons +Neutrons Electrons move around the nucleus |
| Atomic Number | Number of protons in the nucleus of one atom *Equals to the number of electrons |
| Chemical bonding | Bonds from when atoms combine |
| Bonding atoms Rules | -1ST shell can hold 2 electrons -2ND shell can hold 8 electrons -3RD shell can hold 8 electrons |
| Ion | Electrically charged atom Gains/ Loses electrons to become stable |
| Cation | Positively charged (Loses electron) |
| Anion | Negatively charged (gains more electrons) |
| Ionic bonds | Give away electrons; Bond WILL BREAK when submerged in water (Attraction between a cation and an anion) Loses becomes (+) cation Gains becomes (-) anion |
| Covalent Bonds | Formed when atoms share electrons; Strongest bond WILL NOT disperse in water |
| Hydrogen Bonds | Weak attraction between the positive end of one polar molecule and negative end of another polar molecule -Weakest of the 3 bonds 3D structure, must have H to create |
| Structural formulas | Show how atoms bond |
| Polar Molecules | Opposite charged atoms attract; Molecule with a slightly negative end and a slightly positive end result when electrons are not shared equally in covalent bonds. -Water unequal sharing |
| Chemical reaction | Occur when chemical bonds form or break among atoms, ions, or molecules. |
| Enzymes | Catalyst for a chemical reaction (speeds up) |
| Reactants | Start; Starting material of the reaction |
| Products | End; Formed at the end of the reaction |
| Synthesis reaction | More complex chemical structure is formed A+B>AB |
| Decomposition Reaction | Chemical bonds are broken to form a simpler chemical structure AB>A+B |
| Exchange reaction | Chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed AB+CD>AD+CB |
| Reversible reaction | Products can change back to the reactants A+B<>AB |
| Electrolytes | Substances that release ions in water |
| Acids | Electrolytes that dissociate to release hydrogen ions in water |
| Bases | Electrolytes that dissociate to release hydroxyl ions in water |
| Salts | Electrolytes formed by the reaction between and acid and a base |
| pH scale | Ranges 0-14 Indicates the concentration of Hydrogen ions in solution |
| Neutral | 7 |
| Acidic | 0-6.9 more H+ |
| Basic or alkaline | 7.1-14 more OH- |
| Organic molecules | Contains Carbon Usually larger than inorganic Dissolve in water and organic liquids Carbohydrates, protein, lipids, nucleic acids |
| Inorganic molecules | Do not contain Carbon (generally) Usually Smaller than organic Dissociate in water, forming ions Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and inorganic salts |
| Important inorganic substances | Water Oxygen Carbon Dioxide Inorganic salts |
| Organic Substances | Carbohydrates Proteins |
| Four levels of protein structure | Primary structure Secondary structure Tertiary structure Quaternary structure |
| Lipids | Soluble in organic solvents; insoluble in water FATS |
| Phospholipids | Major component of cell membrane |
| Steroids | Used to synthesize hormones four connected rings of carbon |
| Nucleic acids | Building blocks are nucleotides Carry genes -DNA,RNA |
| Chromosomes | Contains genetic information for cells to survive -Long strands of DNA -22 pairs of chromosomes + 1 pair of sex chromosomes= 23 pairs -2 copies 46 Total XXF XYM |
| DNA | Double stranded Found in nucleus of cells Carries genetic information within the cells deoxyribose is sugar nucleotides ATCG |
| 4 Types of nucleotides for DNA | Adenine (A) Guanine (G) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) |
| RNA | Single stranded Derived from DNA Used to make proteins; acts as a messenger between DNA and the protein synthesis ribose sugar AUGC |
| 4 Types of nucleotides for RNA | Adenine (A) Guanine (G) Uracil (U) Cytosine (C) |
| Mass number | # protons + # Neutrons |
| Non polar | Equal sharing electrons/ equal pull |
| Receptor function | receives the stimulus |
| Control center function | process the signal & sends instructions |
