        Help!  

Question
Answer
Chemical equilibrium is _____________________   forward and reverse reactions continue without any effect on the concentrations of the reactants or products  
🗑
If an atom has an atomic number of 14, what does that mean????   14 protons & 14 electrons are present  
🗑
If the atomic number is 14, how many electrons are in the outermost shell of the atom?   4  
🗑
A covalent bond is one that   has shared electrons of 2 atoms to satisfy the rule of 8  
🗑
What happens when electrons are shared unequally???   a polar covalent bond  
🗑
What is an ionic bond involve??   attraction because of the electrical attraction  
🗑
What explains the attraction of water molecules to each other??   hydrogen bonds between the H (+) of one water and the O (-) of another  
🗑
In the water molecule, how are H and O bonded together??   polar covalent bonds  
🗑
Water is cohesive because of it's _________   hydrogen bonding created by their polar covalent properties  
🗑
Water evaporates when __________   the hydrogen bonds between each molecule breaks  
🗑
What makes ice less dense and float?   hydrogen bonds keep the water molecules farther apart and therefore less dense  
🗑
An oil or lipid is nonpolar and therefore __________ which is insoluble in water.   hydrophobic  
🗑
2,3,4, or 6.....which has the highest concentration of H+ ions?   2 (lower number, higher concentration)  
🗑
Organic chemistry is based on compounds made with which element???   carbon  
🗑
How many bonds can Carbon have? Why?   4, it has room for 4 electrons in the outermost shell  
🗑
Why are hydrocarbons insoluble in water?   most of their bonds are nonpolar covalent C-H bonds  
🗑
What 2 functional groups are always found protein monomers?   amino and carboxyl  
🗑

🗑
Multiple double bonds in the carbon chains, saturated or unsaturated fat???   unsaturated  
🗑
All single bonds in the carbon chains, saturated or unsaturated fat???   saturated  
🗑
Fats most common in animals, saturated or unsaturated???   saturated  
🗑
Contain more hydrogen with the same number of Carbon atoms, saturated or unsaturated fats??   saturated  
🗑
Triglycerides or triacylglycerols are composed of ________________?   3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol  
🗑
Cholesterol, antibodies, insulin, enzymes, hemoglobin......which one is not composed of amino acids?   cholesterol  
🗑
How many amino acids are there and what makes them unique?   20, each one has a different radical
