substances elements or compounds
electron clouds areas where electron can be found
atomic # number of protons in atom's nucleus
atomic mass # of protons + # of neutrons
probability distribution probability of finding electron at a specific tie
energy level rings around nucleus represent different energy levels
octet Rule Atoms attempt to gain, lose, or share electrons
isotopes contain same number of protons but not neutrons
inert stable element
Carbon 14 Nuclear Breakdown
Carbon 13 metabolic processes
Radioactive isotope carbon 14
radioactivity vs chemical activity radio differs because it can change the number of protons in atom
radioactivity radiation from atoms nucleus
chemical reaction interaction between 2 or more atoms
chemical bonds and 2 types reactions that hold atoms together ionic and covalent
ionic bond charged by the loss or gain of an electron
covalent bond bonded by sharing electrons singular or double
hydrogen bond result from unequal charge distribution (polar)
Hydrogen bonds with water few= liquid solid=many gas=far apart
chemical reactions synthesis reaction decomposition reaction exchange reaction
synthesis reaction 2 or more substances coming A+B=AB
Decomposition breakdown of 2 or more substances AB= A+B+Energy
exchange reaction breakdown and synthesize AB+CD=AD+BC
reversible reaction proceed in both directions A+B><AB
metabolism chemical reaction that occur in body
catabolism breakdown and release energy
anabolism build larger molecules and require energy
hydrolysis reaction that adds water to breakdown larger molecules
dehydration synthesis molecules are assembled into larger molecules after water is removed
organic compounds compounds composed of covalent and ionic
inorganic compounds no carbon or carbon-hydrogen bonds
biomolecules Large organic molecules in living organisms
solvent able to dissolve other substances
solute dissolved in solvent
aqueous solution "salt water"
hydration shell "coat of water" around charged solutes
colloid particles become dispersed in water without settling out
strong polarity polar water molecules attract other compounds, causing them to dissociate transport substances
high specific heat hydrogen bond absorb heat when they break, release when form body temperature homeostasis
high heat of vaporization hydrogen bond breaks for water to evaporate evaporation of water in sweat
cohesion hydrogen bonds hold water together
reactivity water directly involved in chemical reaction
electrolytes inorganic substances that dissociate in solution
cation positively charged ions
anions negatively charged ions
acid any substance that release hydrogen ion (H+) in solution
strong acid acid that completely or almost dissociate to form (H+) ions
weak acid produces few (H+) ions
base substances that can neutralize the acid by reacting with hydrogen
pH Power of hydrogen
buffers pH homeostatic mechanism. Donate or remove H+ ions
salts compound results from chemical interaction of acid and base
potassium chloride K+ +. cl-
sodium chloride NA+Cl-
calcium chloride Ca++. + 2Cl-
magnesium chloride MG++. + 2Cl-
Sodium bicarbonate Na+. + HCO3
Sodium sulfate 2Na + SO4-
Calcium carbonate Ca++ + CO3
Calcium phosphate 3Ca++ + 2PO4-

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.
