🗑
isotopes   2 atoms of an element that differ in number of neutrons  
🗑
atomic number   number of electrons  
🗑
atomic mass   total mass of protons and neutrons  
🗑
potential energy   the energy that matter possesses due to its structure or location  
🗑
valence electrons   electrons in the outermost shell; need to be gained/lost/shared to fill the outer shell of electrons  
🗑
electronegativity   the attraction of a particular atom for the electrons; based on the position of the atoms on the periodic table  
🗑
ionic bonds   strong bonds formed when atoms completely gain or lose electrons  
🗑
anion/cation   cation is +/anion is -  
🗑
covalent bond   a strong bond that forms when atoms share electrons  
🗑
nonpolar covalent bonds   bond in which electrons are equally shared  
🗑
polar covalent bonds   bond in which electrons are shared unequally  
🗑
1.7 or greater   ionic electronegativity  
🗑
nonpolar electronegativity   <0.5  
🗑
>0.5 but <1.7   polar electronegativity  
🗑
hydrogen bonds (ex.)   noncovalent (no sharing of electrons) attraction between a hydrogen and an electronegative atom (ex. hydrogen+oxygen/nitrogen/fluorine)  
🗑
molecule   two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds  
🗑
compound   combination of 2 or more different elements  
🗑
isomers   molecules with the same molecular formula, but a different arrangement of the atoms  
🗑
structural isomer   simplest form of isomer  
🗑
cis isomer   same side  
🗑
trans isomer   opposite side  
🗑
enantiomers   same molecules but mirror images of each other  
🗑
inert atom (ex.)   an atom with a complete valence shell (nonreactive) (ex. noble gases like helium, neon, argon)  
🗑

🗑
cell   smallest unit of life  
🗑
unicellular organisms   bacteria  
🗑
multicellular   birds, mammals, and plants  
🗑
tissue (ex.)   composed of similar cells that perform a similar function, found only in multicellular organisms (ex.muscle tissue=combination of muscle cells)  
🗑
organ (ex.)   structure made up of several tissues that function as a unit (ex. heart, lung, stomach)  
🗑
organ system (ex.)   2 or more organs working together to perform a bodily function (ex. heart=circulatory, lungs=respiratory, stomach=digestive)  
🗑
population   members of the same species in the same area  
🗑
community   2 or more populations of different species  
🗑
ecosystem   a community and it's nonliving environment  
🗑
biosphere   multiple ecosystems (from bacteria to human and all nonliving components)  
🗑

solvent   the dissolving agent of a solution  
🗑
solute   the substance that is being dissolved  
🗑
aqueous solution   a solution in which water is a solvent  
🗑
hydrophillic   any substance that has an affinity for water or polar molecules but does not always dissolve water (ex. salt, sugar, cotton)  
🗑
hydrophobic   don't have an affinity for water and cannot form hydrogen bonds (ex. vegetable oil)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
