Term
Definition
Atom   basic unit of matter  
🗑
Element   substance consisting of one type of atom  
🗑
Isotope   atom of an element that has a number of neutrons different from that of other atoms of the same element  
🗑
compound   chemical combination of two or more elements  
🗑
ionic bond   A bond created by the attraction between a positive and negative ion.  
🗑
ion   An atom that has a positive or negative charge because it is missing an electron or has an extra electron.  
🗑
covalent bond   a bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared. A covalent bond can either be polar or non polar.  
🗑
van der waals forces   Intermolecular forces of attracton  
🗑
Polar molecule   a molecule in which the charges are unevenly  
🗑
hydrogen bonds   two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom connected by polar covalent bonds.  
🗑
cohesion   an attraction between molecules of the same substance  
🗑
adhesion   an attraction between molecules of a different substance  
🗑
solution   mixture of two or more substances in which the molecules of the substances are evenly distributed  
🗑
suspension   mixture of water and non-dissolved materials  
🗑
ph scale   pH: A measure of how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale goes from 0 - 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic.  
🗑

🗑
nucleotides   The building block (monomer) of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) Nucleotides are composed of a phosphate, sugar, and a nitrogen base.  
🗑
proteins   macromolecule that contains carbon,hydrogen, oxegen,and nitrogen; nedded by body for growth and repairing and makeingup enzymes  
🗑
amino acids   The monomer (building block) of a protein  
🗑
