bio 1210 chapter 2

TermDefinition
What are the three components atoms are composed of? What are their charges? -Proton (positively charged) -Neutron (neutral) -Electron (negatively charged)
Where are they located in reference to the atom? -Protons and neutrons located in the nucleus -Electrons found on orbitals
Mass number vs Atomic number -Mass # - number of protons + neutrons -Atomic # - number of protons in the nucleus
Isotopes Forms of an element with different numbers of neutron. They still have the same atomic number/ number of protons
What are grouped orbitals defined as? Electron group
When are atoms most stable? When they are either filled or lost an electron to complete the orbitals
Molecule Substances held together by covalent bonds
Covalent vs Ionic Bonds Covalent bonds share valence electrons while ionic transfer atoms to another
Non polar vs polar bonds Non polar has electrons that are evenly shared between two atoms and the bond and polar electrons are shared unequally
Ion An atom or molecule that carries a charge
What is the type of bond that arises from the attraction between oppositely charged ions? Ionic bonds
Molecular vs structural formulas -Molecular formulas indicate the numbers and types of atoms in a molecule -Structural formulas indicate which atoms are bonded together (single, double, or triple)
Molecular Weight Sum of mass numbers of all atoms in the molecule
Molarity moles per litre
Hydrogen Bonds Weak electrical attractions between the negative oxygen of one water molecule and the partially positive hydrogen of a different water molecule
Hydrophilic -Attracted to water - Ex: ions, salt, polar molecules
Hydrophobic Repeals water Ex: lipids, oil, fat
Four features of water -Cohesive- binding between like molecules -Adhesive- binding between unlike molecules -Dense- than a solid because it expands as it changes from a liquid to a solid -Absorbs- absorbs large energy
pH scale measures how basic or acidic an objets is
Acids vs Bases - Acids less than 7, proton donor -Bases more than 7 proton acceptors
Buffers compounds that minimize changes in pH
Energy the capacity to do work or supply heat
Potential energy objects position determines its ability to store energy
Kinetic/ thermal energy hot = more movement cold = less movement
1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics 1st law Energy is conserved and cannot be created or destroyed 2nd law Chemical reactions result in products with less ordered energy
Entropy The amount of disorder in a group of molecules.
Two reasons carbon is the most versatile atom on Earth? - Four valence electron - It can form reactans
Functional Groups 1. Amino 2. Carboxyl 3. carbonyl 4. Hydroxyl 5. Phosphate 6. Sulfhydryl

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
