|---|---|
| How many elements of the periodic table are in the human body? | 26 |
| How many elements of the periodic table are considered major elements? What are they? | 11; Oxygen (O), Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N), Calcium (Ca), Phosphorous (P), Potassium (K), Sulfer (S), Sodium (Na), Chloride, (CI), Magnesium (Mg) |
| A chemical bob formed by sharing one or more pairs of electrons between the outer shells of two atoms is called? | Covalent bond |
| Oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen make up what percentage of the human body? | 96% |
| What is the force that holds two atoms together? | Chemical bond |
| A chemical bond that is formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other is called? | Ionic bond |
| What bond is a result of an unequal charge of distribution on a molecule? | Hydrogen Bond |
| What is a decomposition reaction? | Result in the breakdown of one or more complex substances into two or more simpler substances |
| What is an exchange reaction? | Two different reactants to exchange components and as a result which form two new products |
| Synthesis Reaction | Result in the formation of new bonds and energy is required for the reaction to occur and the new product to form |
| What is the pH scale? | It is a scale determines the acidity or alkalinity of a substance |
| What is alkaline level on the pH scale? | Is 'basic' or not acidity. It is on the lower end of the pH scale due to a smaller or decreasing amount of H+ ions than OH- and is 8-14 on the scale |
| What is acidity level on the pH scale? | It shows the acid in a solutions due to a larger or increasing amount of H+ ions than OH- and is 6-0 on the scale |
| What is neutral on the pH scale? | Equal parts H+ and OH- and is 7 on the pH scale |
