What are examples of molecules? water and carbon dioxide
Compound A pure substance that is made up of atoms of two or more elements.
How is a compound different then a mixture? Compounds are chemically combined whereas mixtures are only physically combined.
How are compounds and mixtures alike? They are both pure substances
What are examples of compounds? Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water
Covelant Bonding Two atoms SHARE electrons
Ionic Bonding Electrons are transferred between two atoms
What is the result of bonding? Changing the charge of an atom
Single Bonds covelant bonds in which ONE electron pair is shared by two atoms
Double Bonds covelant bonds in which TWO electron pairs are shared by two atoms
Triple Bonds covelant bonds in which THREE electron pairs are shared by two atoms.
What is an example of a single bond? H2O
What is an example of a double bond? CO
What is an example of a triple bond? C2H
The law of Conservation of mass Says that All numbers of atoms that enter an equation must come out of the reaction.
Coefficiants Numbers used to balance an equation
Exergonic when reactions release energy with the product
Endergonic When reactions absorb energy in order to react
Solution Two or more substances physically combined, homogeneous mixtures
Solvent The substance doing the dissolving in a solution
Solute the substance that is being dissolved
What is an example of a solution? suga in water
What is an example of a solvent? water
What is an example of a solute? sugar
Acid releases hydrogen ions when mixed with water
Base releases ions that react with hydrogen ions
What is an example of an acid? Vinegar, orange juice
What is an example of a base? baking soda, milk.
Why do ionic compounds dissolve in polar molecules? They have unbalanced charges
Hydrogen Bonding covelantly bonding to one electronegative atom tha tis attracted to another electronegative atom (oxygen or nitrogen)
Functional Groups give molecules specific properties and always take the same structual arangement.
What is an example of functional groups? hydroxyl, carboxyl
Dehydration synthesis the covelant bonding of two monomers releasing water molecule
How are polypeptides formed and how do they become proteins? has amino acids linked together and twisted into a protein
Carbohydrates simple sugars, carbon atoms bonded to hydroxide groups. organic compound, provide instant energy and substances used for structure.
Lipids Organic molecule that contains carbon, used to make steroids, waxes, and fats.
unsaturated at least one double bond
Saturated no double bonds
Amino Acids used to creat proteins,
"R-Groups" polar, non-polar, ionic
Carboxyl Group 1 carbon, 2 oxygen, 1 hydrogen; acidic
Amino Group NH2 group bonded to a carbon atom
Proteins made of amino acids in a long chain twisted in a knot
What are the Four stages of making a protein? Primary Structure: straight chain of amino acids Secondary Structure: begins to twist teritary structure: chains fold and bond with bridges quaternary structure: chains fold together in a blob
Disulfide bridge straight chain of amino acids bonding with 2 sulfur atoms
Enzymes (four steps) complete specific jobs, four steps ... 1. enzyme and substrate in same area, attract 2. enxyme connects to subtratewith "active site" 3. catalysis: substrate is changed 4. enzyme lets go of substrate, now a protein
What three elements are always present in carbohydrates? Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon

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.
