6'7UNIT2 BIO OUTLINE
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is biochemistry? | the study of the molecules of life |
| smallest unit of life- | an atom |
| what is the number at the top of the box for an element and what is it also the number of | atomic #, is the number of protons and electrons |
| what is the number at the bottom of a box for an element | atomic mass, is the number of protons and neutrons |
| what is the mass of a proton | 1 amu |
| what is the mass of a neutron | 1 amu |
| what is the mass of an electron | very little |
| what does the number of electrons determine | how atoms bond |
| what is a shell in an atom | outermost part of the atom, has valence electrons in it |
| atoms prefer to have ____ valence electrons in their orbitals | 8 |
| what is an isotope | the same element but it has different amounts of neutrons in the nuclei |
| ionic bond | electrons are transferred from one atom to another |
| covalent bond | electrons are shared between atoms |
| hydrogen bond | weak bonds that can seperate molecules easily, found in water and dna |
| list bonds from weakest to strongest | hydrogen, covalent, ionic |
| sharing f electrons is equal in a covalent bond: true or false | FALSE |
| polarity | when there is unequal charge in a molecule |
| when a slight attraction helps keep molecules together | van der wals forces |
| cohesion | molecules of the SAME substance sticking togehter |
| adhesion | molecules of DIFFERENT substances sticking together |
| cation | positive charge |
| anion | negative charge |
| how do ions form | through ionic bonds |
| atoms are represented by | elements |
| atoms combine chemically to make | molecules |
| solution | solute dissolved in water |
| suspension | the particles are so tiny they don't dissolve and they sit |
| solute | what is being dissolved in the solvent |
| solvent | what there is a solute being dissolved in (example, the water in salt water) |
| chemical/molecular formula | the ingredients (ex; H2O, C6H12O6) |
| structural formula- | showing the structure/arrangement of atoms in the element |
| capillary action | the ability of a liquid to flow in a narrow space or tube against gravity |
| surface tension | the property of a liquid's surface to act like a stretched, elastic film due to inter molecular forces |
