York Bio Quiz 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| atomic number | number of protons, determines which element it is |
| Element | A substance that can not be broken down into any other substance |
| mass number | the sum of the number of protons and neutrons |
| isotopes | variant mass forms of an element |
| radioactive isotopes | when the nucleus decays, giving off particles and energy. can be used as tracers for medical purposes. |
| electron configuration | how energy shells contribute to chemical properties |
| ionic bonds | the bonds that result from electrons being exchanged between atoms to fill the outer shells. |
| covalant bonds | this bonds results when atoms share electrons. the stronger of the two bonds. |
| polar molecules | when electrons are shared unequally |
| polar molecules are | hydrophilic |
| non-polar molecules are | hydrophobic |
| oxidation reaction | when atoms lose electrons |
| reduction reaction | when atoms gain electrons |
| ph scale | measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. |
